Who better to receive the inaugural spot in the Embarrasing Moments in Sports Broadcasting series than the man whose namesake graces this blog's title: The aptly named Bob Lamey. Courtesy of NFL Films and YouTube, behold one of the most pathetic attempts at broadcast professionalism during a crucial point of the 2004 Divisional Playoff game between the Indianapolis Colts and the New England Patriots. Trying to steal the momentum of a frustrating game going into the half, the Colts had a trick play up their sleeve...unfortunately, few people, if any, within the organization (including Mr. Lamey) understood the 'illegal shift' rule. Needless to say, hilarity ensues, enjoy this embarrasingly bad glimpse into the world of crappy sports broadcasting.
(Notes: The call in question can be heard from :09 to :39; special thanks to NFL Films for making Lamey look like such a jackass in their analysis of the play.)
