re: Chris Blair had zero give-a-damn Saturday

He’s mediocre, but he’s still better than listening to Joe Tessitore or this Saturday, Bob Wischusen, who fits right in as the Jets play by play guy on Sundays because he sucks.

There is room between sounding like you'd rather be anywhere else in the world than calling a game like Blair sounds like in those highlights...and manically losing your mind over fairly routine plays like Tessitore.

Blair sounds like he is trying to put together an audition tape for a national gig. One where he doesn't "favor" either time. That's fine if you are a neutral PBP guy. But as the PBP voice for the team its nice, hell, encouraged, that you get excited when "your" team makes a big play.

It sounds like Blair decided before the game: "I'm going to come here, hope this game doesn't last long, put up with this doddering outdated old man who provides nothing to the broadcast, and go home ASAP."
