The Bumbling Bender......

[da_suns_fan]

After watching last nights game, I was blown away by just how many calls Gary Bender gets wrong. It got to the point where I was just laughing at how awful he was. I thought maybe we should start a drinking game for anytime he calls a game.


1. If he incorrectly states which player a foul has been called on, you take a drink.

"Thats on Stoudemire, thats his fifth!!!" - Bender

"No...I think they're gonna call it on Hill" - Majerle

2. If he incorrectly states which TEAM a foul is on, you take two drinks.

"And Barbosa to the hole, and he got it and he'll go to the line!" - Bender

"No...I think they're gonna call on an offensive foul there. " - Majerle

3. If he incorrectly states what type of call is being made, you take three drinks.

"And theyre saying its an offensive foul."

"No three second call".

Not sure how to handle simultaneous infractions:

"And its out of bounds off Artest."

"No. Loose ball foul on Marion."

And we got to have everyone drink for everytime he says "And all of a sudden...."

Can anyone else think of a good rule?

How come Tom Leander didn't do the game last night?

Because it was on Fox Sports. Leander only does play by play for the My45 games.

how about a drink for every time EJ says "it really is" or "he really is" I love when he says that, it's funny.

I also laugh when he says "axe" instead of "ask".

what the hell does that have to do with EJ saying axe instead of ask? that garbage is just stupid.

 

[YouJustGotSUNSD]

They say "axe" in it. Indeed random, but classic.

Garbage? Thats one of the pioneers in internet chainmail comedy.

I've always hated Bender, Leander isn't much better, though. Majerle makes up for Bender's horrific play by play.

 

[azirish]

Maybe we could do a game and guess how many blunders Bender does each game. Then everyone submits their blunder examples to set the number (people who guess high will have an incentive to pay close attention")

Watching the boston-GS game right now. Dear god almighty the boston commentators are horrid. I'll take 5 Leanders and 3 benders over these useless wastes of space they have in boston.

No passion, no analysis, it sounds like they just watch the game and chit chat with each other when they feel like it. Absolutely ridiculous.
