So in case you missed, there are comments from Miami Hurricanes Radio Network color guy Don Bailey in today's Tampa Tribune:
http://www2.tbo.com/content/2008/may/08/college-announcers-walk-fine-line/?sports-colleges-seminoles
about Peter Willis being fired as color announcer for the Seminoles because he criticized Jeff Bowden too much.
The comments from Don about trying to not be too much of a homer strike me as ludicrous given that Don was noted last season for making comments such as "Another quality performance from Kirby Freeman, we may have lost, but he's getting valuable experience as the Hurricanes gear up for a second-half run at the ACC title" or "Joe Tolliver needs to work on his hands, and he'll be a shoe-in for the Heisman Trophy."
Look, we can all agree that the Miami Hurricanes color guy post has been a disaster the last few years, with Bailey's predecessor encouraging the players to fight with the FIU guys, and Bailey's horrid "the sun is always shining" comments.
It's time for the Hurricanes brass to throw in the towel and give Bernie Kosar whatever money he wants to take over as color guy. I know he slurs his words and has an uncontrollable tick with his left leg constantly twitching due to nerve damage, but if you've listened to him do color on Cleveland Browns pre-season games, you know he's one of the best color guys in the biz and is able to break down defenses and what went wrong on a play.
Maybe instead of throwing away money on Donna Shalala, they could throw some money towards Bernie.
