Is that what he's saying? Always thought it was just a random, unintelligible noise.
It took me a while to realize it.

There was another time when after a big dunk he exclaimed "get me some mustard, my hot dog is dry!" Whatever that was supposed to mean.

That he's been yanking his wiener too much and needs some lotion because it's chafing?

To add, I understand announcers like to have their set of catchphrases to set themselves apart from other announcers, but his are just bad. 'Onions', 'a little kiss', 'get those puppies organized'. What do those even mean? If you asked someone who rarely watches basketball what those phrases mean in relation to the game, they'd have no clue. I barely have a clue and I watch a ton of basketball.

Pretty sure he said something about lingerie too.
I’m glad you mentioned the lingerie comment. I was so confused by that one
 
I really ******* hate this little POS dog right now. About as angry as I've been in years, maybe decades. I have a pretty slow fuse in real life but it got lite last night and today.

Been stuck at home by myself for 13 ******* months and had to cancel Easter dinner with close friends, who I haven't seen in a ******* year, because this freakin POS neurotic dog totally freaks out if I kennel her and leave the house. Today it was **** in the kennel, than **** on the deck after I gave her a bath because she had **** on her from the kennel, and than puked on the deck while a went to get a hose to spray off the **** she had laid on the deck. Gave it one last college try and kenneled her for a 20 minutes. Bowls are empty so she pissed in the kennel. Did not kill the dog because I am a nice guy and the role of nice guys is to have life and friends and family **** them over, intentionally or unintentionally. WTF kind of wishful thinking lead family to think they could drop this dog off here for two weeks?

/end angry rant of the century



PS: The little dog remains unharmed. Because #niceguy

PS2: If you haven't been stuck at home alone with no contact with your besties, or anyone for that matter, for over a year you'll have no idea what I am talking about or why I am an so angry.

I'm not sure if Lew has kept me from killing the cats, or if the cats have kept me from killing Lew, but I sympathize with your frustration. It's been a pretty tough year.
 
Ditto on the Raftery comments. For comparison's sake, think of Tony Romo calling an NFL game...he knows the game, isn't glib, lets us in on little secrets, and basically enhances what Jim Nantz does. Raftery, on the other hand, apparently thinks he's the Jerry Seinfeld of basketball analysis.

And don't even get me started on Bill Walton.....

Walton is enjoyable because you know he is high when calling games. He is all over the place. If it’s games you care about, he’s probably horrible but he’s never called a game I’ve cared about.

Slept with windows open. Storms came through about 4:30 that woke me up. Trying to fall back asleep, got some vertigo with a ringing in my ear. Might have been from the pressure change.

I like Walton because he's not trying to pretend to be anything else.

A vast majority of announcers do a poor job of actually talking about the present game and I can watch a game and know what's going on so his rambling is fine by me.

That is amazing.

One of my labs this week is using excel to analyze data, and my FB memories is bringing up how Office 365 doesn't allow you to add lines of best fit on scatter plots or R^2 values.
That was 4 years ago, not sure if its changed.
Pretty smart dog if he can operate the computer. Figured the paw size would be a struggle with a normal keypad.

I just gave up and called H&R Block. I don't know why it has to be so complicated. I probably hit the over on cuss words before I gave up and I never even got to the schedule K form.
