CBS is replacing Gus Johnson with James Brown as an announcer for the remainder of the NCAA tournament. This is troubling for two reasons.
First of all, Gus Johnson's "full time" job is radio announcer for the New York Knicks, so the guy's life is difficult enough as is, why do we have to send him back to it so soon?
But more importantly, Gus Johnson is tits. Gus Johnson makes any NCAA tournament game about 325% more exciting than it already was. Allow me to be the 3,000th person in the last week to joke about how sweet it would be if Gus Johnson announced your daily life at work:
" He takes a sip of coffee.... from his thermossssss... and the dream is alive! The data has been analyzed! The mouse pad still fits! Woooowwwwwww! "
I don't necessarily hate James Brown. I don't like him either. That's the problem with James Brown. He's like the color gray or Snapple lemon iced tea or the third Lethal Weapon movie. It's hard to really have an opinion on him, he's just sort of there.
Even his name is dull. James Brown the late funk legend? Oh, sorry, you mean James Brown the guy who pretends to laugh at Boomer Esiason's jokes and once hosted America's Funniest Home Videos.
