Even when it's Dave Rowe. Rowe was easily the worst sports broadcaster I can remember. He made Joe Theisman seem insightful. He made Dick Vitale seem reserved and Joe Morgan prepared. Every year he got even more over the top as if he thought if I can just come up with the next big Sportscenter catch phrase than I'll get promoted to national telecasts. However "Big Man On Big Man" just never caught on other than as joke to reference the shoddy quality of JP sports. But sadly as annoying as Rowe was he was a part of College Football Saturday. His drive you up the wall antics help remind you why the game was a Jefferson Pilot game after all. It just won't be the same if JP goes all hightech on us and actually puts out a slick production and starts actually getting camera's on field goals, stops cutting to plays after they begin, fix the audio, and have a purple nexium first down line that is not superimposed on top of the players. There's no way they would get rid of the Brooks & Dunn intro though as proud as they are of it.
It feels weird to feel sad about Dave Rowe leaving JP because for years I complained about how annoying he was. Now that he's gone you just feel like he's taking a little bit of Jefferson Pilot with him. Which is actually a good thing. At least they replaced him with another Dave to protect the holy Dave Triumvirate.
I also bid a fond farewell to good friend and fellow blogger Clarence Worley who was last seen rambling about the musical talents of Meatloaf on March 22. No reasons have been given for his disappearance and at this point the authorities are presuming he's dead.
We'll miss the Meat of the Week and I know that Dude and the Saved By the Bell References.
We'll sadly miss you Clarence.
