Ted Leitner, my local announcer, has the same problem, for the same reasons, and being a spineless, abrasive jackass like Reilly, it manifests the same way. In 1985, on the air, Leitner called Pete Rose a "national treasure" and never questioned Rose as manager taking playing time from better players to break the hits record. Today, I was in the car with the game on the car radio, and with the Padres in Cincinnati, Leitner was waxing rhapsodic about the Big Red Machine: "Johnny Bench. Joe Morgan. Davey Concepcion. Tony Perez. Ken Griffey Sr."
Then silence.
He could've said "And Pete Rose, while we acknowledge his disgraceful behavior as manager of the Reds, was of course a great player as well" just like he could've said, "And we should acknoweldge here that Padres pitcher Clay Hensley has a positive steroids test while Barry Bonds does not" and on one of his many tirades about Bonds' 80-some career HRs against the Padres being "tainted" he could've said, "And we should acknowledge that Ken Caminiti's 1996 MVP and the Padres division title of that year are tainted as well."
But he didn't, because he needs to be liked, and of course, a lot of people don't like him anyway.
Its between Woman's Day, and Popular Mechanics at your doctor's office. Probably from 8 weeks ago.
Bet that is the first time that Rabbi Korff has made it on to BTF. Does that make Anderson a combination of G. Gordon Liddy and Bebe Rebozo?
