Simmons Hits the Nail on the Head

I’ve talked about announcing teams at length here at Requiem for a Touchdown and this past week ESPN columnist Bill Simmons decided to do the very same.  It really is a very well written article – the first in awhile for Simmons whom, in my opinion, has been in a bit of a slump recently.

Simmons hits upon many of the same points I made in earlier posts – primarily that ESPN and other networks are aiming more for an entertainment angle instead of just concentrating on describing the action and providing useful analysis.  Definitely a solid read, one of the few on ESPN lately.  Check it out.
