I’m not sure who my “John Madden” of lacrosse is, but I have a different opinion to express. I would like to start off by saying that lacrosse announcers are usually good about all of the technical terms, using them only when necessary so that the “first-time viewers” can understand what they are talking about. With that being said I am going to move on. Now a lot of people say, “Hey! This announcer sucks”! I follow up almost with a instantaneous, “How so”? They never know. They just “know” that they are bad. I think that most announcers do what they have to do. Now what lacrosse really needs is an iconic, out-going announcer, comparable to Connor Martin (Con Bro Chill) who will entertain and inform the listeners. Like Boomer for the NFL. I think once lacrosse gets a little bit bigger the better announcers will come out of thin air. We’ll see……..Nice Hot Pot this week LAS. Keep writing! GTG

Maybe I was enjoying my Friday night a bit too much (ahem), but I swear whoever called the Hopkins-Albany game accidentally called Harvard the “Crimson Tide” when talking about one of the teams’ previous games… Whoa, dude, whoa.

I think the real question is whether or not being the ‘John Madden of Lacrosse’ is a good or bad title. IMHO, John Madden was a big announcer but made the most OBVIOUS comments, “they’re going to have to get the ball in the endzone if they want to score a touchdown and win this game.” In that case, Quint is hands down the John Madden of Lacrosse.

After Bill Tierny finishes his time at Denver I think he will have the potential to be the John Madden of our IF he decides to go into commentating, which is a door that I think will be wide open for him.

Timely article Connor; I’m doing my first game from the booth this weekend, Stevenson @ Salisbury, broadcasting in Baltimore. Mark Dixon will be leading the way with play by play while I add HD color. I’ll be using dance floor analogies in-place of the usual basketball comparisons…here I come Quint!
