Huge reds fan here so I have listened to Thom call games for a long time. Reds had a double header today, watched the first game and was doing some other things and turned it back on to catch the end of the second game and I heard Jim Day announcing and was like huh wonder what happened to Thom... now it makes sense
So they gave him the boot after the 5th inning. Rumors are that Doyle is interviewing for the job tmrw.
In totally unrelated news, he’ll now be giving the keynote at the GOP convention.
That has to be one of the most unintentionally funny apologies of history.
""I pride myself and think of myself as a uh.... man of faith, as there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos that will be a homerun, and so that will make it a 4-0 ball game..... I don't know if I"m going to be putting on this headset again....."

Can we just get a straight-up apology? I'm so tired of the "If anyone was offended" or "To those who are offended"....just apologize without the qualifiers.
I also cringed when I heard him add "...it's not who I am". I'm not going to say that's who he is because I don't know him, but character is what you do (or say) when no one is watching.

The “h” is for homophobic.
You can't say the n-word now or call Asians g**ks either. (just giving you a heads up since you seem kinda lost)
Thom B. called the first football game ever on BTN, the epic 2007 Appalachian State vs Michigan game.
I was really curious about this new network, would it deliver? I thought TB and Charles Davis were great and definetely up to the moment.
Now, like the ASU player TB called on the scoop and score, TB is gone!

I hear you to a degree. What's a "straight-up apology" going to do for anyone, though? For The Mob, an apology will never be enough. He's getting canned, regardless. What, precisely, does the pound of flesh that is ultimately demanded consist of when it comes to "apology?"
What is contrite sniveling going to accomplish as recompense for using a slur?
Granted, this is slightly different than using the "wrong" pronoun or failing to acknowledge your unbearable "whiteness" when walking to the market; but what is the ultimate difference?
The demands and the penance become arbitrary in the presence of a Mob.

That sort of random and derisive statement makes me think Thom knows what a dick feels like in his mouth and he really does not want anyone to think that about him.
This sounds personal, what pronoun did you use and what did you actually do while in transit to the market?
It took me a while to figure out what f** was, you really don’t hear it anymore.
Coming soon to KCRG, KWWL, KCCI, KTIV, WOI, KCAU, or whatever local station might need a sports anchor… Thom Brennaman.
How about, just once, someone saying...
"I want to apologize for my stupid and insensitive statement. It was wrong and for that I am sorry. In my position of ____ I have to be better than that and I will make every effort to do so. I am sorry."
Just a straight up apology. No qualifiers, no explanations/excuses, just apologize. It's not that hard.
The guy deserves to be fired and you sound stupid trying to make this a greivance against the PC mob.
Yes George Brett and his best friend Rushbo hail from Kansas City...
Kansas City, of course. " I'm gon'in to Kansas City, Kansas City here I come. They got that pretty little@WorldSeriesChamps2015, and I'm gonna give him some..."
