Let there be a grand clubhouse feast!

Raymond Chen

Kenny Mayne is one of the regular anchors for ESPN SportsCenter and for some reason I find this particular home run call hilarious:

I am king of the diamond! Let there be a grand clubhouse feast! [WAV] Bring me the finest meats and cheeses throughout the land!
— From The SportsCenter Altar multimedia download center.

Here’s a whimisical interview where he explains where he got that from [RealAudio]. Another one I like for its understatedness:

<Football player> has decided to tackle people on behalf of the <NFL team>. Terms of the contract are not disclosed, but we believe it has something to do with money.

Actually, I enjoyed just reading through a collection of phrases used by the SportsCenter anchors.

Almost makes me want to watch television.
