THE CALLS: BEST SPORTSCASTERS OF ALL-TIME!

Image
  We all have watched sports throughout our lives. There were some games and plays that you remember to this day, but what makes those plays and games memorable are the men behind the plays and games. I'm talking about the sportscasters. Let's face it, those memories wouldn't be possible with out some of the best play-by-play men navigating us through them. So without any more delay. Here are the top sports casters of all-time! 5. Pat Summerall and John Madden If you played Madden football video games in the 90's you were guaranteed to hear Pat Summerall and John Madden on the calls every play. To add to their legacy, they've called multiple Super Bowls together which only adds to the stigma of the legendary duo. Together, Summerall and Madden were side by side for over 20+ years. They also call the games in the cult classic movie "The Replacements".  A semi-true story about the 1987 NFL strike in which teams were suited with replacement players to finish ...

HAT TRICK, CRUNCH WIN 3 IN A ROW!!

 Lansing, Mi     Ok, I know what you're thinking, "it's an expansion team, they're supposed to dominate them". You'd be correct if those were your thoughts, but you also have to understand that this isn't an ordinary defending championship team the Lansing Red Cedar were playing. This was the MLIS defending Champion Cleveland Crunch. to be fair to the Red Cedar, they are a very scrappy bunch and fight to the end. They play hard and may actually have the potential to become a playoff team. Unfortunately, tonight was not their night as the Crunch continued where they left off on January 11th. I'll save ed Cedar fans who read this time... If you blinked, you missed it. The Crunch started off slow, but not because of travel. The Red Cedar actually made it a tad difficult for the Crunch early in the first quarter. Then it got real.   By the end of the first quarter the Crunch had a comfortable 3-0 lead, and before you knew it the score had changed to 8-1 go...
