West Coast semifinals
March 7 at Orleans Arena in Las Vegas, NV
ESPN
About midway through the first half, play-by-play old man Brent Musberger started talking about how BYU's Kyle Collinsworth learned fluent Russian. Right after the 'n' in Russian is when the idiocy began.
Fran Fraschilla, are you available for (a stupid) comment?
"Well, you know the saying - if you know three languages, you're trilingual, if you know two languages, you're bilingual and if you know one, you're American."
Idiot Brent Musberger (new full legal name): "ain't that the truth."
It's hard to find the words to respond.
Hang on, let me look again
SHUT UP
SHUT UP
SHUT UP
SHUT UP
SHUT UP
SHUT UP
SHUT UP
SHUT UP
SHUT UP
SHUT UP
SHUT UP
SHUT UP
SHUT UP.
Now, I know that response was only in one language and I am (American), but Musberger pulled off a rare/historic feat with this exchange. He managed to make the response even stupider than the original statement. I didn't think that was possible.
Also:
I would bet my Fran Fraschilla Coaching Clinic - June 8, 1992 - VHS (retail value: 7 popcorn kernels) there are at least several million people in this country who can speak more than one language. And let's not forget the millions of people here from other countries who have no doubt LEARNED ENGLISH.
IDIOT UPDATE
Musberger strikes yet again in the second half. When talking about watching Jennifer Azzi coach the San Francisco women's team into the WCC final:
"And she did a great job, Fran. It was a boy's coaching job."
And that's when you put the mute on and get rid of these sexist (Musberger), ignorant old men.
