Joel:
Is it difficult to type with your tongue in your cheek? Three times I emailed the Cubs' tv announcers about the difference between a foul ball and a foul tip. Never got a response, and they still make the mistake. I worked for an air courier service 15 years ago and we did work for CBS Sports in LA. I got phone friendly with the woman in charge, and offered to talk (for free and no recognition) to their football announcers about the difference between fumbles and muffs, and a few others. Her reply was, these peoples egos are so big they wouldn't listen to Jim Tunney, never mind me.
The big problem is that the public thinks these jerks know more than the officials. Many years ago, the Rams announcer and color guy (Dick Bass) couldn't understand that when the offense holds in their own end zone, it's a safety if accepted.
I have believed for years that these clowns giving false info to the public are indirectly resposible for attacks on officials.
Time to get off my soap box.
