So tonight, I'm getting the Toronto Raptors feed on my NBA League Pass. Couple of interesting things:
The color guy is really excitable, kinda like Dick Vitale. I can see how it could get a bit much, but most of the color guys I've heard in the league have been pretty personality-less, so this guy actually is a breath of fresh air.
The Raptors are on this network called TSN... but apparently it's their version of ESPN, because they have Sportscenter with the same logo.
Canadians spell center like "centre." Just kinda funny to see Francisco Elson - Centre. And "SportsCentre"
The play by play guy asked the color guy for a Superbowl prediction. The guy said Arizona, and the play by play guy said "Did you son just email that to you?" I always wondered what Canadians think of American football.
They interviewed Charlie Villianueva at halftime... Apparently they still love him in Toronto. They said he did a lot for the community when he was in Toronto, and he gives tickets to kids with the same disease as he has, alopecia areata, where you don't have the ability to grow hair. It was neat seeing his section of fans out there and him signing autographs and bringing awareness to this disease.
OK the color guy's name is Jack Armstrong, and the play by play guy is Matt Devlin. And Jack has this east coast accent, almost Boston like. Weird.
