Why couldn't it have been Dick Button?

[undeterred]

(who went hunting with Cheney)

He gets more annoying every figure skating season.

1. too bad it wasn't Al Michaels.

[Twillig]

9. lemme channel Frank Caliendo

doing Madden

"Heh heh, you can't pull fat, Bret Favre is the greatest.... BOOM!

[ScreamingMeemie]

2. But....but....

It's not THE OLYMPICS Without him. I feel about him as I felt about Jim Mckay. :hi:

[Gormy Cuss]

17. Yes, even when Dick gets his panties twisted in quad toe loop

it wouldn't be the same without him. He's the only one left who remembers FIGURE skating.

3. Be careful. There are some folks around here who REALLY LIKE

Dick Button (as I found out when I saidn something negative about him a while back).

I simply will not watch figure skating, no matter how much Mrs R asks me to, if he's on the air.

5. Awwww....and we were getting along so well....

:cry:

;)

[Redstone]

8. No matter. I still like you. As long as you don't ask me to listen to him,

we'll get along just fine.

7. He's a bit of a cranky pants, but

his analysis is usually very accurate. If I were a skater, I would record his comments about me and take very serious note of them.

16. Dick Buttons always jinxes

the American skaters. If he says that Skater A has NEVER EVER fallen on a triple lutz double-handed back spin w/a 1/2 & 1/2 decaf, he or she WILL fall flat on the butt attempting such a move, at which point, Buttons will say "That shows you this skater wasn't training seriously enough for this event & doesn't deserve a medal." :grr:

4. ROFL, that's what DH and I decided last night too. n/t

6. I wished it was Charlton Heston, but that's just me.

[Redstone]

10. YES! Now there's the perfect candidate.

[FuzzySlippers]

11. I know. I don't think he's ever shut up

for 5 consecutive seconds in his entire life.

[undeterred]

12. Yeah and he ran out of interesting things to say 40 years ago.

Give me Scottie Hamilton any day.

[tigereye]

13. I like how cranky he is!

he's an institution, a last bit of the old guard. No harm done.

[BarbaRosa]

14. Dick Button

kinda like the Paul Shaffer of ice skating.:banghead:

[jakefrep]

15. I was hoping Bobby Knight...

...would get to go along - then they would shoot each other. :evilgrin:

[nickinSTL]

18. heck, Dick Button isn't bad

John Madden on the other hand...

I can't STAND him. He says the most incredibly IDIOTIC things. EVERY GAME.

And NO, it isn't endearing, funny, or "cool". It's just stupid.
