At 11:40 this morning I strayed briefly onto the world’s worst sports chat station, just in time to hear some guy who sounded like a teenager reading out their obligatory BSA notice….

What made this little performance so extraordinarily funny was that it came during a show hosted by Martin “Moron” Devlin, who many think is the least informed, least expert sports commentator in the history of sports broadcasting. Just before the mandated announcement, Devlin had been talking to someone possibly even more egregious than him: Jamie McKay, who became infamous a generation ago by regularly unloading vicious tirades against Jonah Lomu (“lazy”, “lacking in intelligence”, “over-rated”) in the Southland Times.
In mitigation of the young guy reading out the notice, he did seem to have his tongue firmly in his cheek as he intoned the canard; the absurdity of the message was underlined by his deliberately adenoidal delivery.
