Talk:Thom Brennaman

Did Thom really call games with Marty in the late 1980s?
I listened to and watched an awful lot of Reds baseball between 1985 and 1991. I even remember the unfortunate Tom Hume experiment in the TV booth. I do not remember Thom Brennaman doing any radio or TV work for the Reds, except possibly, perhaps, as a one-time special with Dad. At some point in the late 1980s, Thom was working for channel 5 (NBC) doing high school sports. He showed up at Beechwood high school football games on several occasions spanning at least a couple of years between 1986 and 1990.

So -- I'm going to remove the line that Thom called Reds games with Marty back in the 80s pending a source. If someone comes up with that source, then mea culpa. Moishe Rosenbaum (talk) 02:53, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Brennaman on the NBA on TNT?
I don't think Brennaman was on the NBA on TNT. I'm sure he did college games but not NBA games. WisconsinBoyClevelandRocks228844 (talk) 00:11, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

Seeking consensus: Identify on-air "apology" as a non-apology apology
This page incorrectly describes an on air statement as an "apology". The statement was qualified by "If I have hurt anyone". According to. non-apology apology, this statement is better described as an "ifpology".

I am proposing this edit to more accurately reflect the on-air statement he made while attempting to apologize.

Source: The existing citation 7 ( ""Thom Brennaman apologized on-air and handed the broadcast off"". Twitter. Retrieved 2020-08-20.) includes his full on air statement: "If I hurt anyone out there".

replace: Before leaving the booth, Brennaman apologized for his earlier comment, saying that he was "deeply ashamed." with: Before leaving the booth, Brennaman offered a [[non-apology apology] for his earlier comment, saying that he was "deeply ashamed" if he "hurt anyone out there"

 * I think how it reads now works, although an update will eventually be needed after the line "he would reach out to the LGBTQ+ organization PFLAG to make further amends." ~EdGl  !  21:22, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
