True Story...circa 1995 I'm at home listening to the Brewers on WEVR out of River Falls...the local announcer says he has Brewer tickets for the 15th caller.  I called and the guy says you're "number 1".  I called again and he said you're number 2".  I called and he said "number 3....12 calls later and I had tickets to a pair of games a couple of weeks later.



I don't know if that speaks more to the popularity of the Brewers at the time or the listenership of WEVR

Now that's an awesome story JAPF!

Arthur 'Big Guy' Carlson: Here, Les. Read the disaster plan.

Les Nessman: But, Mr. Carlson, the disaster plan doesn't say anything about tornadoes. It's for what to do if we are ever attacked by the Russians... or Chinese!

Arthur 'Big Guy' Carlson: Well... Just read the plan and wherever you see the word "Russian" substitute the word "tornado!"

Les Nessman: [into the microphone] Citizens of Cincinnati, we are being attacked by the godless... tornadoes!

OK.

I like Jim Nance.

I like Tony Romo.

I know you people â„Ē generally hate all announcers.....I'd love to hear one of you rubes do just 30 seconds of color......"Yah, hey der, dat was a nice tackle." 

Here's how I picture the X4 commentary booth:

PBP: "And now, as we have a close 17-14 game between Baltimore and Cleveland, now is a good time to remember in the month of October, the many people who are fighting the brave fight against breast cancer, is it not scoop?"

Scoop/Generic x4 member: "Yes Bob, and what better way to honor those who have lost their valiant fight against cancer that Dom Capers sucks and it's truly a shame that thugs like Damarious Randall and Davante Adams can't grow up to be good wholesome boys like Corey Linsley and Jeff Janis.....etc."

I think this is how it went
