Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - May 9, 1978, Winnipeg, Manitoba Winnipeg free press tuesday May 9, 1978 Jim Murray first there was Graham Mcnamee. He was a great announcer because he never let the action on the Field get in the Way of his imagination. He called the. Game As it should be. If he forgot the score he described the Sunset. Ring Lardner said sitting next to Mcnamee was like having a doubleheader the game you were watching and the game you were hearing. Then there was Bill Stern. 0. Henry with a Mike. And that dirty faced Little kid today is the King of Bill made it up As he went along. He dealt in Socko endings. And on his deathbed Abraham Lincoln called this general to his Side and said general Don t let and that general was Abner Ted Husing was polished urbanity. The original Young Man from Manhattan. Husing was the first to ennoble football with obscure terminology As though it were a latin mass to wrap a truck Driver s sport in Ermine. Ted not Only had a he had a he made the notre Dame Box seem like advanced trigonometry. The logical successor to these great Laryn xes of the past is As unlike them As color to to super Heterodyne radio. I had lunch with this new voice of the 70s the other Day this Symbol of the nil today and countless other network sport shows. I could never imagine taking Graham Mcnamee to lunch and noticing what big Blue eyes he had. I could t picture writing about Bill Stern s dimples. I could hardly be expected to notice Ted Husing s legs or if he were wearing Gucci shoes. Because this was the first sportscaster i Ever saw i wanted to dance with. You know the usual route to a National sportscaster s Job is through an apprenticeship covering prep sports Reading nightly scores on the local 50-Watter, then graduating to doing play by play for the Memphis Chicks or the Valdosta tigers or somebody and sending the tapes to the network Bigshot periodically. Sportscaster George found a fantastic shortcut. Nobody Ever thought of it before. Sportscaster George won the miss America contest. The network brass did t need any tapes. If she could do for the nil today what she could do for a bathing suit their ratings troubles were Over. Like who needed a game lbs did t need to give is. George a crash course. Now this is the football. You use it to score a touchdown not a Home run. There Are 11 men on a Side and everyone tries to catch the one with the Ball. Arc we going too fast for Phyllis George you see was a fan. The worst kind. The kind who used to keep stats and used to go in her room and cry in her Pillow on the Day when the Dallas cowboys lost. That kind of fan. The kind that could t Bear to look when the Home team had the Ball on the one Yard line with a minute to play and the score tied. The kind who would Wear Black throughout an entire winning Streak. Phyllis George had been a cheerleader at Denton tex., a town almost exclusively populated by Beauty contest win ners. No less than two miss americas have come from there and Many a miss Texas miss Cotton and miss congeniality. Ann Sheridan was from there. Is. George is probably the first sportscaster in history to spend the morning of the big game at the Hairdresser. She s the Only sportscaster in history who thought to ask Roger staubach about his sex life. It was just Fine staubach said. The Only difference Between his and Namath s was that he confined his to Home. The sporting press was shocked. Presumably they thought Roger the ail american boy had found his three children in the bulrushes. Phyllis almost never asked the athletes How the old was. She was interested in the subject As a person. With Phyllis so were they. Athletes seem to respond better to dimples than to Howard Cosell although Joe Namath has unhooked his Mike and terminated an interview with Phyllis. He did t mind questions about his love life his sleep habits or his life style but when Phyllis asked How come the team was so Lousy Joe took that As an invasion of privacy. Phyllis is branching out onto a new lbs show people this but that does t mean the football fans will have to do without her expert analysis. I mean what would the Minne Sota Vikings be without her a ram Cowboy game i won t say Husing Stern and Mcnamee would be jealous if they were around today. But you can bet they d let their hair grow. And try to look better in bathing suits.
