Crowley's Rams surrendered a surprise early touchdown before running away with it. Bill Stern, a well-known radio announcer, called the game. Television was not ideal for Stern's career, however -- often his radio commentary would not reflect the exact events of the game. His habits of exaggeration and dramatization did not translate so well with audiences on the new medium." Without naming names, I've known some more recent radio broadcasters who would call a different game than the one I was watching when I would take my radio to the stadium or fieldhouse. Just to be clear I'm not talking about Russell and Rob . . . If you are interested in seeing one of those old late 1930s TV cameras, they've got one on display a this very interesting museum in Huntington, W.Va.: http://www.radiomuseum.org/museum/usa/museum-of-radio-and.../ The only BLSS Certified Hypocrite on BA "It is better to be an optimist and be proven a fool than to be a pessimist and be proven right."

Ernie Harwell was notorious for exaggerating. I'm surprised anyone does it these days because it's too easy to get caught. We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.
