When it comes to the most popular announcers in sports, we always like to think how great it would be if they provided play by play for our daily lives.  How great would it be to hear Bill Raftery shout “ONIONS” for a successful parallel parking job?

Go go Jim!!  While this is great, I think it’s for the best I never had Ian Darke call one of my dates.  Under that kind of pressure I would have surely bottled it.
