I just realized that the lead singer of Travis shares a name with the AWFUL color commentator for all Fox Sports Net NY Mets games. My lord, hearing him & Ralph Kiner discuss baseball is pretty damn entertaining for all the wrong reasons.

I just wanted to share. Thank you.

an awful color commentator!! "well, he's gone for the puce on lime- green scheme there, Brian" "Yes, a more wretched combination i can't imagine, Steve, back to you, Bob." etc

sorry -- too obvious?

I didn't expect to see Fran Healy in an IL* post full stop. But answer me this. In both the Simpsons and Woody Allen's Sleeper, there are parodies of a particular US sports commentator with a doom- filled, lugubrious voice. Who is he! Please, someone, help me...

Don Pardo or Howard Cosell, but I am just guessing.

Fran Healy's voice is pinched, nasal, and sounds like it's enimating from his netherregions. And his inflections SUCK. He's like Dr. Nick without the Jello mold and the fancy accent.

Which one? It could describe either...

I think said commentator did lots of late night stuff. I'm hoping someone will have seen Sleeper and will know exactly who I'm talking about. Watching him is described as a "form of punishment".

Ah well. It's not important. Back to talking about Fran Healy!!!

BTW, Alan, I only WISH they talked about uniform color schemes. Though, whenever Michael Kay (Yankees radio dope) starts getting all House of Style on the team fashions, I slowly go mad.
