I like guest announcers when they are fun, i thought Bobby Flay was lots of fun to listen to. The guy today was trying to be funny and just wasn't. We had a local portland disc jockey that wanted to do it, it was fun for his listeners to hear him butcher the call and everyone had fun.
but i don't think it's a disservice to announcers at all. if you want to go call a race at Santa anita, go ask Trevor, i'm sure he'd let ya call one
