The game was spectacular. But Chip Caray showed that not only does he have an propensity to say, “FISTED” and “SPANKED”, but he can also blow calls with the best of them. However, that’s not the reason for this post. It’s again the impressive speed in which Turner Sports churns out these press releases after […]
