Kevin Harlan Calling An NBA Game From What Appears To Be An Olive Garden Party Room Is Weirdly Awesome
Improvise. Adapt. Overcome. Simple principles that are more difficult than they seem to accomplish but ole Kevin Harlan did it. It’s difficult to turn on the mics and be your stage self in a familiar environment. Luckily, I just run my bitch ass mouth and don’t have a stage voice. It’s just my shockingly high-pitch voice that sounds like I’ve been smoking pixie sticks for decades. Smoked sugar voice. Sweet, but you get sick of it real damn fast. For these dudes and ladies who have to call games from their home, whew. I can’t imagine which is why I’m blogging it, bitch! EAT SHIT. Sorry. I’m having a morning. Wrong side of the bed and whathaveyou.
Back to the blog. I did wonder if these play by play folks had special TV set-ups because imagine how difficult it’d be to call a game with only the TV camera angle especially when calling a game for a team like the Sacramento Kings. Besides Chris Weber and Mike Bibby, I have no idea who is on the Kings roster. Calling that in real-time would be beyond difficult unless you’re Kevin Harlan- a pro’s pro- and they set you up inside what is basically your second home-talkin bout the Large Party Room in the Olive Garden near the Minneapolis airport. Which one? For privacy concerns and out of respect for the Harlan-Dekkers, I won’t say but I will say that there’s plenty of options.
Maybe that’s why the Greek Freak decided to sign that cute little extension. Big OG head. Aren’t we all though? Shoutout Nate and shoutout Kevin, Olivia, Sam, and Riggins. Brick by brick Riggins.
Ps: this counts as a sports blog so up my tally to 7 on the year.
