May I inquire as to why it makes you feel weird?

It's true. I hate listening to a woman announce a football game. It just feels weird.

I spent the entire 45 minute drive to work this morning daydreaming about how awesome this weekend is going to be. It did not involve those two.

I'm glad I'll be at the game.

Pause the DVR to get the tv brodcast and radio broadcast to sync up?
Usually the radio is ahead of the TV so that wouldn't work. You need to delay the radio somehow. I've seen some stuff on the internet about it and was thinking about trying it this year.

I hear bears are attracted to their periods...they can smell the menstruation

It's not natural. For 50+ years men have been calling football games. Now there are two women doing it, and they are trying to sound like men. I would rather hear some woman with a much more feminine voice calling the game.

because football is played by men and coached by men. it's not a sport for women. they can watch and attend games (afterall, some of them are nice to look at). but keep them out of the broadcast booth.

I listen to most of the games on the radio anyway. I'll try and see if I can't time the dvr with the radio this year. That's a good idea!

So it's the fact that the women calling the games are masculine? You wouldn't have a problem with a female doing it, as long as they sounded like a female (are nice to look at it and know what they were talking about)?
