Who Is This Guy?

He's Mike Mayock, that's who.

Who is Mike Mayock, you ask.  He's the color guy on the Saints Seahawks game.  You know, the guy with the terrible lisp.  This is the problem with giving NBC two of the playoff games on wild card weekend, they don't have two announcing teams.  Tom Hammond is bad enough on the call but seriously, a guy with a HEAVY speech impediment doing the color commentary?  And this is all before you take into account how bad his analysis is.  He keeps asking questions like, "did he get them to jump offsides?"  Dude NBC is paying you to actually know that information without having to ask someone else.

Dude is terrible, I am seriously rooting for this guy to get more work simply because I cannot believe that a major network would put a guy with such a heavy speech impediment on the air.  It's like staring at a train wreck as you drive by.  Its horrible, and you can't believe it, and yet you can't tear your eyes from it.

In other news, Seattle has hung 24 points on the Saints defense in the first half, including 17 in a row, to lead 24-17 with under two minutes to go in the first half.  Crazy.  Still think the Saints are gonna cover....
