Speaker 1 (00:00):
Buffalo meat with the ball, buffalo meat over the running Dear,
(00:02):
it's one more thing.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
I'm strong and getty. One more thing.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
That it would be an actual quote from my brief
play by play career when I was doing announcing for
a basketball game in college. More and that in just
a second. A couple of play by play things or
sports things made the news recently. First, you got the
squirrel that ran onto a baseball field, and we got
two different versions of play by play calls on Matt.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
The chase for the squirrel is on, and the squirrel
is in the corner, and the squirrel is ill, eluding
an entire horde of grounds crew members and the squirrel's
three once again, hemed in, No, I won't be hemmed in,
I have freedom on my mind, trying to go between
the legs, and eventually he gets away again and hops
through the towel and hops.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Through another towel.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
The force field is activated.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Towels can't stop.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Him, or maybe they can.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Well, that's funny. Do you hear the crowd at the end? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Yeah, is this another play by play of the same event?
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Here we go, Yeah, this is the other team's play
by play games.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
Okay, ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to thank the grounds crew.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Did Detroit Tiger's ground. What's pearl Gritch?
Speaker 5 (01:31):
You just got on his bike to bank the ground
screw and got booed.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
It took sixty seven of them to getuate scowl, all right,
Lay amused by that A ball play by playing color
commentators are unlike any other sport, and I love it
so much.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
I miss listening to baseball on the radio, which I
used to do more just because it was They're like
your friends would have done.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Baseball play by play more than the other sports, which
I was going to talk about in a second, like
because I did. I've only done football and basketball, and
it's constant action person pretty much, and so it's just
your ability to understand what's happening and get the words
out of your mouth. But baseball, there is a lot
of time to kill in baseball with storytelling and anecdotes
and all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Which I think would be better. I wish i'd done
that too, And I just I love the game of
baseball so much too, because I would do basketball and football.
Like you said, I was doing color in football. I
was doing this big high school program in Springfield, Illinois,
that our little station was the what do you call it?
Flagship station?
Speaker 1 (02:40):
This was a long time ago, gladys. He's harkening back
then play by play or color for a football football game.
I was mostly there to set up the gear and
make sure it worked. But so the play by play
guy was actually quite good, very good, so he could
rest his voice now and again. I was the color commentator,
and I liked football, but I didn't know much about it,
(03:03):
and so I'd be like, yeah, boy, that sure was
a good run.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
He busted right through the middle. I mean he didn't
need to. I mean, it's just no need for that.
You're sure right about that. And at one point some
of the fans who would be listening at the game
got a little hostile, like who is this guy? Why
is he the color commentator? He's not a football expert.
And I'm like, do you have any idea what I'm
(03:27):
being paid? How cheap all of this is. That guy's
getting twenty bucks. I'm getting like ten, And they just
need me to set up the gear and ask me
to do this. I know I'm not an expert. I
don't want to be here, but he needed ten Bucks.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Maybe a better story is we weren't doing play by
play in the radio. We were doing court side play
by play for tennis. Remember we did that?
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Oh my god, that sucked so bad. Were the PA announcers?
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Were we at mixed ninety six?
Speaker 2 (03:55):
I don't yes.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
So this was before you even knew us, Michael. We
had to do play by play for some professional tennis
and it was just horrific, mostly because the guy we
were doing it for, we couldn't figure out what he wanted,
so he was a christ overbearing nut. He acted like
he wanted us to make funny comments in between shots,
but then in time we would The players would get
(04:18):
mad us for talking too much.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
They're professional tennis players. This sounds great, Oh it was horrible.
It's so stressful.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
I hated every second of it.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Oh they yell at us, what about this? What about this?
We're like, we've never heard that phrase in our lives.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Abouts I know something about tennis, but it's exactly sure.
What I never understood what they wanted out of us
was the problem.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Everything we did was wrong and just people yelling at us,
and it's just ridiculous. I don't think it was a
very long time ago friends. I wouldn't do that now
for fifty thousand dollars a game, well, i'd think about it.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Uh, I don't know. I think I might have been
solo on this. Did I have a color?
Speaker 2 (04:59):
It must have been.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
And I think I was solo doing community college basketball
for a year. And uh, I mean I'm a basketball fan,
but I mean I'm not an x's and o's expert.
So it was it was a lot of ad libbing.
If you were if you were watching the game and
listening to me at the same time, it wouldn't have
(05:20):
matched up very well. I think if you're only listening,
you probably were okay. But if you're watching and listening,
you thought what right? And if you were watching and
you'd like you knew x'es and o's yeah, and listening,
you'd think this guy has no idea. One thing I
noticed right off the bat is and I had to
(05:40):
I eventually talked to the coach about it. I had
no idea the distances. So if a guy is standing here,
how far a shot is that? Is that ten feet
or twenty feet or because you know, I want to
be able to say twenty footer from the outside or
whatever I have any idea.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
So I finally nailed that down, but wow, you were
worse than me.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
And knowing the players on your own team, you know,
you do a whole season, you get to know them
by site, in their name. But you'll roll into a
town and you got a new roster of players you
never heard, and you don't. You gotta quickly figure out
because you can't just keep saying the No. Number eight
with the ball. That doesn't do any good for whoever's listening.
Or look down your list, that's.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Jones with the because Jones has passed it to Smith
de Brown by the time you find Jones on the list,
and now you're way behind h guy shot and he
made the shot. Anyway, That's why you no good If
you don't, if you've never done it, you don't appreciate
like listening to a hockey call or basketball. These guys
(06:40):
they have everything absolutely memorized, and they work really hard
to do that. They do.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
I have friends who do that, and they put in
so much prep time, so you're not scanning the list
trying to figure out who somebody is or or or
anything else. But uh, the one that always stuck about
out of my mind is we would travel twice a
year to Haskell Junior Haskell Indian Junior College, and it
was a Native American junior college. And at least back then,
(07:06):
I don't know if it's still true, they all had
Indian names Native American names on the basketball team. So
what I said at the ent of this thing, their
best player was a buffalo Meet was the best player
on the team, and he usually had the ball, and
it was him and running deer.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
They only had I think they.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Had six guys, and in one of the games that
I did, six of the dudes, two of them filed out.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
So then they only had four. Oh my gosh, so
they had took one guy off. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Oh, I was young and not gutsy, or I would
have used some of those jokes probably back in today
time look not buy six with only twenty time to
circle the wagons and time to make the lane your reservation.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Foul on buffalo Meet.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
He's John with the referee, but I think he speaks
with four tongue because that looked like a fouled me.
Oh boy, have made you many friends now, But it
was a lot of buffalo meat running dear with They'll
be a buffalo meat layoff. But so, yeah, it was
a lot of that. But then they fouled out and
they got down. I think eventually they had three At
the very end of the game, they only had three guys,
(08:16):
and then there was some conversation, well, do we take
one off the other team to make it even or
is that their fault that they don't have enough players
so it's five on four.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Or five on three. They just discussed that in the
middle of the court. I don't forget what they decided.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Man, that's some small town community college basketball right there
with eight people in the stands.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Yeah, yeah, boy. I did high school boys and girls
basketball because I needed the money and I'm a sports fan,
so I didn't hate it. I think I think it
was ten bucks to do play by play for a
game and five bucks to do color commentary, if you
can imagine. Now, this is in the eighties, so adjusted
for inflation, that's still nothing. But h and I've told
(08:58):
the story before. I was doing a girls high school
basketball game, and you have to understand, and these are
small towns in central Illinois. You have to understand that
they were sponsored by you know, Jones' paint store there
in the little town in Illinois, and you know Jenny's
dress shop, and you know How's Auto Body or whatever.
These are small towns and you had to keep them
(09:20):
on your side, so you're not gonna go like Jim
Rome or well, this is a golf reference. Johnny Miller
famously as a golf commentator, would would say that guy's choking,
he's hitting bad shot. That was a terrible shot. He
was not sunshiny, he would criticize. I couldn't do that
at all. So famously, somewhat famously, I was doing a
(09:43):
girls basketball game a couple of small towns and it
was the score at the half was four to two
at one tea half. At the half, one team managed
to put the ball in the bucket twice, one team once,
and I believe both teams were oh for their free throw.
So the ball had penetrated the hoop a total of
(10:04):
three times in a half of basketball. And I'm trying
to describe this action without being in the least bit
negative and in fact being positive. Oh, that was an
excellent effort, but it did not go in. The rebound
taken down going up the other way goes you know,
Gerard or whatever, little town it was, and oh there
(10:24):
are some miss on the ten footer. The rebound gathered
up and Verdin has the ball, and oh.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
That ball almost went high enough to conceivably go in
the rim. You see, the ball would have to be
at least higher than the rim to go in if
I understand my physics correctly.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
The one girl from Girard who's actually made a basket
has the ball. This is exciting. Oh man, As I recall,
the offense has really opened up in the second half,
and it ended up being like fourteen to eight or
something like that. I mean, it was a school just
smorgasboard there in the late going. But oh man, you
(11:04):
know what a lot of nice people involved. I like
the guys I was working with. I was making a
little money. I look back at it kind of fondly. Honestly,
it wasn't miserable. It was just another challenge.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Oh that's going to be a charge on Johnson against Buffalo.
Me tried to push him off his land, but he
wasn't having it.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Yeah, uncomfortable.
Speaker 5 (11:33):
Do you guys want to hear the Irish play by play?
Speaker 6 (11:35):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Yeah, yeah, I have it. I don't know if you see, Yeah,
what is this, Michael.
Speaker 5 (11:39):
This is the Irish Football League and Irish play by
play guys, and their team hasn't been in the finals
in seventy five years, and they're pretty darn excited.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Hang on, now, what kind of football are we talking about?
Speaker 5 (11:49):
I believe no, I believe it's regular football in Ireland.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
There has not been American football in Ireland in for
seventy five years, not a chance. No, you don't think so? Well,
I know, so there's there. There's hardly been an American football
in America for no, there's been anyway. Let's just hear it.
I'll bet it's soccer whatever. Get it out of there,
Get it out of there. They haven'ty seconds to do.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
We're twenty five yards to the teleg He's got Tommy
don Tommy Conrad's in.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Yeah, Tommy Toddy right, Oh my god, five seconds too.
Speaker 6 (12:31):
The one guy sounded like a money foot.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
He said they caught one. So it has to be
regular football. You can't use your hands in soccer.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Whatever way they're playing like American football in Ireland for
seventy five years.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Well, I don't know, can't be. And you've taken all
the fun out of it.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
And everything like that. You've done poorly, all right? Hey,
and elcers are funny. Joe's doing the research now and
whether they have American football in Ireland and for how long?
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Key football team? That's Gaelic? All right? Now, I got
to ask what is Gaelic football. It's a fast paced
Irish team sport combating elements of soccer, rugby and basketball,
governed by the Gaelic Athletics Association, played by two teams
(13:39):
of fifteen players on a rectangular grass pitch. As I recall,
the goal is to score by kicking or punching around
leather ball into the net three points or over the
crossbar between upright posts one point. Wow. I'd never heard
of this sport. It sounds kind of fun.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
But it's a combination of soccer, rugby and basketball. Yeah, essentially,
go on, Michael allowed us to learn something today. Thank you.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
Well, I guess that's it.
Buffalo meat with the ball, buffalo meat over the running Dear,
(00:02):
it's one more thing.
Speaker 2 (00:04):

through the towel and hops.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Through another towel.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
The force field is activated.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Towels can't stop.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Him, or maybe they can.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Well, that's funny. Do you hear the crowd at the end? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:12):

up and Verdin has the ball, and oh.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
That ball almost went high enough to conceivably go in
the rim. You see, the ball would have to be
at least higher than the rim to go in if
I understand my physics correctly.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
The one girl from Girard who's actually made a basket
has the ball. This is exciting. Oh man, As I recall,
the offense has really opened up in the second half,
and it ended up being like fourteen to eight or
something like that. I mean, it was a school just
smorgasboard there in the late going. But oh man, you
(11:04):
know what a lot of nice people involved. I like
the guys I was working with. I was making a
little money. I look back at it kind of fondly. Honestly,
it wasn't miserable. It was just another challenge.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Oh that's going to be a charge on Johnson against Buffalo.
Me tried to push him off his land, but he
wasn't having it.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Yeah, uncomfortable.
Speaker 5 (11:33):
Do you guys want to hear the Irish play by play?
Speaker 6 (11:35):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Yeah, yeah, I have it. I don't know if you see, Yeah,
what is this, Michael.
Speaker 5 (11:39):
This is the Irish Football League and Irish play by
play guys, and their team hasn't been in the finals
in seventy five years, and they're pretty darn excited.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Hang on, now, what kind of football are we talking about?
Speaker 5 (11:49):
I believe no, I believe it's regular football in Ireland.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
There has not been American football in Ireland in for
seventy five years, not a chance. No, you don't think so? Well,
I know, so there's there. There's hardly been an American football
in America for no, there's been anyway. Let's just hear it.
I'll bet it's soccer whatever. Get it out of there,
Get it out of there. They haven'ty seconds to do.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
We're twenty five yards to the teleg He's got Tommy
don Tommy Conrad's in.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Yeah, Tommy Toddy right, Oh my god, five seconds too.
Speaker 6 (12:31):
The one guy sounded like a money foot.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
He said they caught one. So it has to be
regular football. You can't use your hands in soccer.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Whatever way they're playing like American football in Ireland for
seventy five years.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Well, I don't know, can't be. And you've taken all
the fun out of it.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
And everything like that. You've done poorly, all right? Hey,
and elcers are funny. Joe's doing the research now and
whether they have American football in Ireland and for how long?
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Key football team? That's Gaelic? All right? Now, I got
to ask what is Gaelic football. It's a fast paced
Irish team sport combating elements of soccer, rugby and basketball,
governed by the Gaelic Athletics Association, played by two teams
(13:39):
of fifteen players on a rectangular grass pitch. As I recall,
the goal is to score by kicking or punching around
leather ball into the net three points or over the
crossbar between upright posts one point. Wow. I'd never heard
of this sport. It sounds kind of fun.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
But it's a combination of soccer, rugby and basketball. Yeah, essentially,
go on, Michael allowed us to learn something today. Thank you.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
Well, I guess that's it.
