It’s not out of the ordinary for the announcers for the home team to show bias or stick up for their guys. Phoenix Suns’ color man Eddie Johnson was doing the latter during the Hornets-Suns double ot thriller. He didn’t care for some comments made on television about Amare Stoudemire.
I heard a guy on tv, I think the Jim Rome show, he, I don’t know who he is, but I hope they fire him as a reporter. He said that Amare Stoudemire doesn’t have a 12 to 15 foot shot. I’m trying to figure out where did that guy watch games?
I don’t know who Jim’s forum guests are this week but damn.. Eddie Johnson’s gangsta. He wants a guy to be fired for saying Stat doesn’t have an outside shot.. It could be that, or it could be that Johnson is still holding a mini grudge against all things Jim Rome… As you might remember, Skip Bayless filled in for Romey on Jim Rome’s radio show and got Phoenix Suns broadcaster and former NBA player Eddie Johnson confused with former NBA player and little girl sexual assaulter Eddie Johnson. After that kind of mistake, Bayless and others are lucky the only shots Eddie Johnson is taking are verbal.
