Tales from the NFL Preseason: It's "Ay-an-ba-de-jo"
The NFL preseason is the closest thing in sports to the lair of Grendel's mother. A dark, underwater cave filled with treachery and unknown monsters. A place where wild proclamations are made based on one 3rd & 7 pass by the third string quarterback, a place where Dream Teams of Make Believe are born, and a place where fans pay full price to watch this. It's also a place where strange things tend to happen in the booth. Just take a listen to how local Falcons play by play man Tim Brant (who you may remember from ABC college football games) takes a crack at pronouncing the name of Ravens LB Brendan Ayanbadejo.
