Worst Announcer Ever Finds a Job

It looks like Brian (don't call him Brain) Collins has finally found a real job. A local news channel in Waco, Tx has decided to hand over their sports news to him. He became an overnight internet sensation a couple years ago when a video clip of his college sports casting hit the web. The entire video is filled with hilarious mispronunciations and other gaffes.


I guess anyone can get a job with the right connections.

Boom goes the dynamite.

Wayne Summers?

Kansas of Kansas?

After a minute I had to stop watching that clip. It was too painful.

Wow. I couldn't understand a thing he said. But I think my favorite thing is that occasionally, he would actually perk up and get a whole sentence together! Sadly, the sentence was "boom, goes the dynamite."

"passes it to the man" is one of my favorite lines. That and the sighs and looks of "I'm sorry I can't speak English" he gives to the other people in the studio.

The look on his face when the news anchor thanks him for the segment is priceless. Do you think the teleprompter was jacked up? It is pretty funny how he had never heard of half of the players...

I pick up more things from it each time I watch it...

I love the long sigh he gives followed by 10 seconds of silence during the baseball highlight. He is trying to get it together but can't seem to do it.

I love the softball team that "Started off good but eventually shutdown and did poorly"

Also the "Associated Press of the All American Team of Baseball"

His speech reminds me of Nunley's writing...

Ross...I was about to write the same comment except that I made it to one minute 25 seconds. Poor guy! It is amazing that he actually is still employed in broadcast journalism.

I like how Chris Paul rebounded out the list.

And, "Thanks for that look into sports, Brian"

"...Yeah"
