The second week of Straight Outta Stockton nominees are upon us, with announcing quotes that make Browns/Seahawks look like football artistry. Thankfully none of these broadcasters idiotically headbutted their partner in the booth (thanks for the memories, Red Bryant). The Dickies (our NFL version of the Pammies) will award the most humorous and offbeat announcer quotes every week for the rest of the NFL season. Can Scott Hanson hold his Dickies lead, or will some of our favorite announcers take the top spot this week?
As to how the Straight Outta Stockton vote works, each week we’ll nominate 15-20 quotes for you to pick the best 10. The winning quote of the week will earn that person 10 points all the way down to 1 point for 10th. Remember, you can vote for your favorite five quotes. Here are your Week 7 nominees…
1) “We welcome those of you who watched the Packers.” – Thom Brennaman (via JimWilliamsOnAir) introing an out of market audience to the GB/MIN game.
2) “He has a football coach’s mentality and a baseball manager’s head.” – Dick Stockton (via cfaris09) on Tony La Russa.
