AKC Posted December 25, 2006 Posted December 25, 2006 As much as I loved his play on the field, I find his work in the booth rivaling the worst in the game- Theisman and Randy Cross. Some of his top bonehead statements today included the "He's as calm as a................fountain" Uh- perhaps a broken fountain might offer a "calm" look at standing water, but doesn't any functioning fountain pretty much promise some amount of chaos? How about the statement regarding a Titan first down at their own 27- "It's great field position" Huh? I won't go any further since the fountain thing is off the freakin' charts- Steve Tasker was always game on the field of play. Clearly though, he's overmatched trying to call a game.

I have disliked Tasker's booth work for years, always dreading the "Steve Tasker - Gus Johnson" combo to burden our Bills games. Steve's a very nice man. My wife likes him because he appeared at the "Football 101 for Women" class years ago (at Trocaire College, I think). But I had to tell her how bad an announcer he is. Like you said, the fountain thing is a classic.
