Um, really?


One of our local sports newscasters who happens to have an awesome job, as he gets to go to the Beijing Olympics, also has the most annoying promo on his station. Said person is Eric Perkins, who I like in general, but in his Olympics promo he says about reporting from the Olympics (he's been to the last couple of them at least) that he "uses a lot of words and phrases when I report on the Olympics." Oh, um, really? You use a lot of words and um, phrases when you...speak? How ingenious of you! Apparently every other reporter has it all wrong! I'll definitely tune in to his broadcasts! Hmmm....
