And it's not even close really. For one, the dude is the biggest kiss-ass in pro-sports. And that is saying A LOT because there have been some kiss asses over the years. This dude simply takes it to a whole new level. I remember a few years back when Miami was playing Dallas in the finals, Breen would just drone on and on about what a great person Dwyane Wade was in marrying his high-school sweatheart and starting a family. Meanwhile of course, Wade is banging some chick on the side and has friends left and right talking about getting high with him at his house. And Breen does this with numerous players and officials. So many times during a replay of a bad call, Van Gundy or Jackson would question how the refs could have missed it. And EVERY time Breen would fly in with a comment about the ref having a bad angle or even disagreeing that it was a bad call (when it obviously was). The dude needs to get canned ASAP.

Beck is an unknown to most people so you can't think Breen would have caught that right away. At least Breen didn't called the Thunder, the Boomers? You know now that's not their nickname, correct?

I beleive that the TV viewer should receive no less than the same information provided to the fan at the game by the public address announcer; that includes actually reporting the name of the players who score or commit fouls. All too often the broadcasters go off on tangents and fail to report the name of the fouling player at all, often even getting the official's calls wrong. Is it really too much trouble for the broadasters to have one spotter for officials' signals that can relay them to the broadcaster? It would be a lot more useful than the often silly sidleline interviews they show.

How about this mistake from your article: "A couple of minutes later, Beck corrected himself." Wasn't Breen the one who corrected himself? If you are going to write about someone's mistake, you should probably hire an editor to correct your mistakes. At least he corrected his. And then then more nonsense from you: "The voice of Major League Baseball is Joe Buck. When you hear Buck’s voice, you think, it must be October. The voices of the NFL are Buck and Al Michaels and Jim Nantz". So, if I hear Buck's voice how can I "think it must be October" if he is also the voice of the NFL? Might it not be December in that case? Come on, your article makes me think you are the worst journalist in sports. How about this mistake from your article:

Well, Brent isn't so much bad as he is annoying. No one gives the \nails on a chalkboard\ kind of feeling that Brent can when he's making a comment. I've never seen him yet without thinking, \Oh, Lord, not him again\... Oh, my, gosh, there’s someone worse than Brent Musberger out there?? Well, Brent isn’t so much bad as he is annoying.

Why don't you be a little more critical Berry. Maybe you are the worst journalist in sports? Actualy I don't care and totally agree it was a dumb mistake and insulting to the former ABA player. What's more important is who is going to get all the bad calls when it's Kobe vs. LeBron. The officiating in the conference finals has been terrible. It took so much for the ref to call that first charge on LeBron. He thought about it for 5 seconds before signaling a charge. Not that this is anything new, we saw Jordan get all the calls every game. His last game as a Bull he hacked Karl Malone for a steal and then pushed off on Byron Russell for the game winner.
