Why is Brent Musburger doing the "game of the century"?

Well, he's like an old grandpa who used to be a really important, well-respected guy and still THINKS he's that important guy, but in reality is someone who says absolutely insane things and gets laughed at. \nSo in a way, it's entertaining, in another way, it's annoying.\nAnd, yeah, if he says "folks" one more time, I'm going to shoot my television.

Oh yeah, it is absolutely Chris "Boomer" Berman you've been hearing (and occasionally seeing) during ESPN's joint coverage (with NBC) of the US Open. He's actually been doing it for a few years now, always partnered with NBC's Roger Maltby, and I really enjoy listening to him employ his famous nicknames and such in relation to golfers. \n\nObviously, most sports fans associate Boomer with football, even baseball. Less well-known is that he loves golf and plays whenever he gets the chance, including at pro-ams. I'm not sure what his handicap is but I feel sure he's just a hacker like the rest of us. ;-)

Steve Yserman. He took Scotty Bowman's advice and changed his game 180 degrees in order to win championships. And yet, he plays with a quiet dignity that even his opponants respect - case in point, the number 19 and the Candadian Olympic Team. \n\nIf you get a chance to watch him this year, do so. This is the final act in a solid career between stat's, leadership and citizenship that deserves almost instant Hall of Fame induction.

EA Sports bought the exclusive rights to the NFL for it's classic Madden title.  Therefore, 2K Sports retaliated by buying the exclusive rights to the MLB video game.  I am an avid MVP Baseball fan and I'm pissed off because MLB 06 is the worst baseball game I've ever played.  At least Madden was the best football game and it deserved the exclusive rights.  It's a tragedy that the public is deprived of a good baseball game this year, I just pray that its only this year!

I'm not sure, but I think ESPN might have that. I remember that as soon as that game was over, they called it an "instant classic" and re-played it on espnclassic.

I totally agree with you!  I am so sick of players retiring and "un-retiring"...Boxers used to be notorious for this, but now, it's extending to all sports, with the latest two examples being Clemens and Favre.  And in Clemens' case, they stopped a World Series game for his 'last pitch'.

John Kruk!  I think the "I'm not an athlete, lady, I'm a baseball player!" quote pretty much sums up why.  Tremendous runner ups are: Mo Vaughn, Cecil & Prince Fielder, Pete Incavagila, Kirby Puckett (R.I.P.), and El Sid.  Crazy lookin' runner ups are: Jim Eisenrich and Randy Johnson.  Doofy looking runner ups are: Mike Piazza, Mickey Morandini, and Johnny Damon.  I have now named 12 players who looked funny in their own ways - give up the 10 points, brother!!!

It's his choice. It is a very difficult choice to stop playing a game you have played for most of you life, he probably is weighing the options, talking to family and past players, etc.

Hmm. It is a very interesting perdicament. I dont know if you are firmiliar with the Madden football franchise, but that has also proven to cause the players trouble the season that they are on the cover. Virtually every person that has been on the cover of that game since 1999 has had a serious problem that season. I think it may be the pressure that the athlete faces/the ego trip that they get. When you are preforming well enough to be the face of a product that is going all over the world, you get a high on the "fame". But back to the future of the curse, seeing as Fight Night is a relatively new game, and on any given day, any powerhouse boxer can fall to the bottom, I see no reason that the "curse" can not continue. The question is, is it all just a big coincidence?

Even though it's called "The Great American Pastime", it's not THAT great.  I think people like it because it is a leisurely game (one of the few games without a game clock) that is spiked by moments of intensity.  There is something about a set moment in a game - "bottom of the 9th, 2 outs, full count, runner on first, and here's the pitch..."  There are subtle strategies in the game that often times go unnoticed (field shifts, hitting strategies) and it is often said that the hardest thing to do in all of sports is to hit a fastball, sometimes traveling at 100mph/160kph.  Besides, there are many, many American kids who aspire to one day become a Major League pitcher.  Maybe the games take these people back to their childhood.

The not so famous Yankees player Jason Eckman. He held up the ballon and it was in the year 2000. Though He is given point for that he is wrong.

Sorry, but I don't play video games, so I don't know if this fits your criteria.  I think Albert Pujols of the St. Louis Cardinals is one of the purest players I've ever seen.  I'm not a fan of the team, but I think he's an amazing player.

From the little research I have done, he is not calling any games whatsoever. He calls football, baseball, basketball, and hockey. He might still be under contract with ABC/ESPN, therefore I highly doubt he is calling games for one specific MLB team this year.

Because it's a thinking persons game.  Every pitch is an adventure.  It's the greatest game on earth!!
