Some of the Worst Radio Announcing Ever



So...I'm guessing that Atlanta's radio announcers don't like Dwayne Wade...Usually, home team radio announcer's root for their team. But these guys just found a new low.

When Dwyane Wade blocked Maurice Evans from behind, Holman yelled, "He did not go for the ball, he hit him right in the back and knocked Mo Evans down!" Holman yelled. "Dwyane Wade tried to hurt Mo Evans!" The league apparently disagreed, rescinding Wade's flagrant foul on Thursday.

Later in the game, Al Horford was fouled when making a move to the basket, turning his ankle as he landed and writhing in pain. "Oh my goodness, the Heat have resorted the thuggery!" exclaimed Holman. Actually, no; as Horford later admitted, "I just came down very awkward, that's all." (So awkward, incidentally, that he's been ruled out for tonight's game.)

T-Mobile Drops the Round Mound of Rebound


T-Mobile has decided to drop Sir Charles from their ads after his DUI arrest. A T-Mobile spokesman said, "Given the recent developments, for the time being, we've replaced TV ads featuring Mr. Barkley with more general-market advertising. As he works through his personal matters, we will evaluate where to go from here."


I wonder if things would have been different had he not mentioned the fact that he was just looking to get some (apparently) great oral sex.
The victim here will be Dwayne Wade (Barkley's T-Mobile co-star). He's going to have to do these ads on his own now. Hey, maybe Kenny Smith can fill in for a few spots. He already has some experience doing those Nike Hyper-Dunk shoe ads. [TMZ]
