Another Suck Night for Versus


I didn’t think I would have to do this so soon again. I really didn’t want to have to, but someone needs to be the voice of the people here.

Versus, can you please stop sucking so hard?

Maybe it’s this team calling the action, but there was a game played that seemed to be interrupting their little chat. All you hear about through the game is the blather of empty words, doing their best to ignore the action on the ice.

For some reason, they keep trying to tell us stories about the players, but they want to tell us about all 40 players in the game. When there is a shot on goal, I do not care about the 4th line winger who came off the ice two shifts ago. Not when there was a shot on goal, and a great save.

How about Clement at the start of the first intermission report? “This is our studio.” Good job there, Clement. This is our studio. This is a monkey, that is a bad haircut. I like cake, lights are bright.

And what about some of these verbal assaults:

“One nothing An..Uh.Colorado.”

“The puck went off the ref..uh..linesman.”

This one my be the line of the night. “They are starting to bump uglies in Denver.” Seriously, they said that. Do they even know what that means?

After that, I had to put a tape in the VCR, just in case Beezer said something even stupider.

Here’s Beezer in the 3rd period. “Try something harder, buddy, that’s not going in.”

These guys need to get laid. Sorry, they do. John Vanbiesbrouck and Chris Simpson should either be given an award or taken out and shot. It was a command performance of sexual innuendo, and complete and total lack of hockey coverage.

Versus needs to sit down a test audience of hockey fans, and play them a few broadcasts. I highly recommend they include tonight’s game. Awful and wonderful, all at the same time. Wonderful for the wrong reasons.

I bust on Versus chops quite a bit. I don’t care for the quality of the job they do, and even with the improvements they have made, they still have plenty of work to do. Instead of just bitching about them, I think I should break down some improvements they can make. Soon, I promise.

Thanks for the laughs tonight, Versus. It certainly was interesting.
