  YOU KNOW YOU SHOULDN'T BE A SPORTS ANCHOR IF... As I have for many years, I enjoy watching KLIT News (read: KOMU News).
I do this for two reasons. A. I get a perverse pleasure out of yelling at the television when "8" (as it is affectionately known as in the 24 Hour -- but not in a row -- newsroom at K-FRU) decides to do a story about helping a turtle cross the road...or they call Darwin Hindman...Darwin HEND-men.
B. Sometimes the chicks are hot (see e-van) And while I've seen some things that would qualify as broadcasting "travesty of the game" before...Tonight takes the cake. The female sports anchor referred to a player who double-eagled on a hole in a local golf tournament as going to "negative four. " This happened not once but twice. AND she said that, "The LSU is playing Miami" reference the college world series. Plus...she needs to learn from e-van and myself about conversational delivery. I'M A THIEF DC says I stole his idea of creating a blog...
I said, "Well, you stole it from Rob. " He said something along the lines of, "Well, you stole my idea of stealing. " WHY I'M IN RADIO... Uneducated people who don't know me will often ask me why I'm in radio and got a BJ (Hey...E-van...LP...and Jason got/are getting one too) in news editorial (read: newspaper journalism).
I tell them that's because I didn't want to do TV...and MU didn't have any sort of radio program at the time (they still don't IMHO...but that's another story for another time). Today I realized just exactly why I wouldn't be good on TV... After looking at my ugly mug during a replay of the Ray Beck Show (read: Ray Beck's pre-council press conference) on Ch 13...I was reminded of the fact that I would probably look like the most awkward person ever on TV (maybe it's the fact that I can't see anything past my nose).
Of course Dave from the Tribune and the 306 reporter from the Missourian more than make up for my visual incompetence.
