Your Full 2011-2012 NBA Announcing Schedule: Opening Week
The NBA is back this Holiday weekend, so enjoy the following nationally televised games or fire up your overpriced NBA League Pass. Also, marvel in the fact that Breen (and JVG) will appear to be in two places at once on Christmas Day. And at least spread a little more holiday cheer than the newest members of the New Orleans Hornets.

Marv Albert needs to learn about the art of pinning opponent back. Repeatedly impressed with 50+ yard punts that result in touchback
Coming back from commercial break during the heralded Super Bowl XLII rematch on Fox, Joe Buck reacted to a clip of the Massachusetts State House and remarked "Fast moving city". Let me know if you've ever heard one that moves slowly.
Nothing really specific, but Thom Brennaman is essentially dry humping Aaron Rodgers. Bad enough that he's essentially a "play-by-play-that-already-happened" broadcaster, but he's doing his own version of "Tebowing" Aaron Rodgers right now.
Kenny Albert identifies Skins TE as "Larry Hankerson."...His name is Lawrence Hankerson. Nothing like preparation.
Kenny Albert wastes no time by starting his broadcast..."Welcome to our nation's capital"...Uh, Fedex Field is in Maryland...Perhaps he thought he was at RFK...After a break, the broadcast returns with shots of DC monuments, at which time Albert says "Just outside our nation's capital."...At least somebody knew enough to tell him were he is...
