Andy Losik | 2005 Wanna Be a Sports Anchor? Contest
WXMI Fox 17 in Grand Rapids is back with their "Wanna Be a Sports Anchor?" contest. Last year I was sent packing after round 1. This year, I made in the finals! Although I finished second, it was a great experience and can not begin to tell you how much I truly appreciated all of the support.

Well, that was thrilling. If you want to be a sports commentator there are really only a few phrases which you need to know:
Prefix every other sentence with the words "At the end of the day". For example, "At the end of the day Howard's performance was utterly lame. He should have been taken off the field and shot".
Remember to use the phrase "It's a unique occasion", especially when it isn't.
When commentating upon a snooker match try to slow down..your..voice...whilst also getting...quieter...to build tension. Then after the shot you can speed up with some sudden outburst such as "where on earth was that shot supposed to go?"
In a race don't forget to describe the back runners either as "lazy", "pedestrian" or (my favourite) "melingerers".
Thank you Bob! Your suggestions are well noted. I could only be so lucky as to cover a snooker match.
