Versus Announcers

Do you work for Versus? Now that this network has been exposed how many will sign up tomorrow morning for this on their cable network? LOL

 
I thought the announcers were kinda dumb. I can't really remember a specific example. I ended up watching most of the game muted. But that's how I feel about most network announcers.

They lost me when one of them said, "Lucky,....not so lucky." after he just ran for about 5 yards.

YES!

The other one I got mad about was a play review where the replay confirmed beyond any doubt that the right call was made on the field. The announcers all agreed it was the right call. Then when the referee came out to announce the result of the replay, one of the announcers said, "It's all going to come down to whether there was enough evidence to overturn the call," as if the call was wrong but there wasn't enough evidence to overturn.

I swear they're just reading off of a list of sports broadcasting cliches.
