Scott, to me, Bill is trying to be the Vin Scully of basketball broadcasting.
Oh, ok, I get it, I'd just never heard it called that. Re dogs, I remember vividly an Eskimos game I saw with a friend at Commonwealth Stadium about 1987. The half time show had some dogs herding some sheep around the track, as some sort of demonstration of New Zealand sheepherding prowess. Eventually the sheep started attacking the dogs, and then the marching band blew up in a puff of smoke. We were thinking it was drugs that made us see this, until we realized we hadn't had any. Very strange. Apropos of nothing, I saw the Grey Cup a couple of days ago. The 630 CHED guys were on location at my local watering hole, and had it along for no particular reason. Eh. It wasn't that thrilling.
