Decoding Simmons

No. 27 on a list of 33 ways to improve sports:

My bosses won't allow me to say which six announcers I would deport to Eastern Europe, but here are their initials jumbled together backwards: WBMABCMJMTBJ.


JB. TM. JM. CB. AM. BW.

Joe Buck, Tim McCarver. Joe Morgan. Chris Berman. I'm stuck. There's no way "AM" could be Al Michaels, right? And who is BW? Brian Williams?

  • And how is Sutcliffe NOT on his list? HOW?!

  • I like BW meaning "Bill Walton."

  • JB is definitely Joe Buck; Simmons can't stand him and has made that as clear as possible. Personally, I think Buck is a hell of a good announcer, though he gets far too sanctimonious at times.

    AM and BW? There's no way AM is Al Michaels, but I can't come up with anyone else. I'll buy BW for Bill Walton, though.
