WHATS WRONG WITH BERNIE KOSAR?
As several readers have advised us, and as we’ve heard with our own ears on NFL Network’s broadcast of Saturday night’s Browns-at-Broncos game, preseason analyst Bernie Kosar doesn’t sound right. We’re not suggesting that he was under the influence of any legal or illegal substances while working in the booth, but his voice sounded like the voice of a person who has some type of impairment. Maybe he had a cavity filled before the broadcast, and the Novocaine hadn’t worn off. Or maybe he had jet lag. Or maybe he had just heard Mary Hart’s voice. Whatever the cause, he didn’t demonstrate the kind of vocal clarity that you’d expect a broadcaster to have, and we can’t remember Bernie ever sounding that way when interviewed during his playing days. A media source says that Kosar is actually more understandable this year than last year. If that’s the case, we can’t imagine how bad he must have sounded a year ago.
