San Antonio Spurs - Utah Jazz Game Thread: 1/15/1991

Why did you want him to lower his pitch?

Because I knew you would say it was too high-pitched. See the post I quoted.

I saw the post you quoted. I just didn't think you'd ask him to lower his pitch, on my behalf.

I thought you'd ask him to change his voice, in a manner that would irk me.

I asked the question on NBA TV's Facebook page.

Also, I'm watching game 5 of the 1976 Finals. Saw some of it yesterday, will finish it today.

I'm starting to think it's possible Musburger never said it. The only clue we have that its Musburger, is that Mark Heisler article.

But, listen to this sample at 6:51:


And now listen to Musburger in 1976, @ 2:20:


Just doesn't sound like the same person. Maybe in 4 years, his voice sounds different. But it can't sound that much different, right?

If the quote really was by him, it must have occurred 10-13 years later, as a studio host. I don't think voice changes < 10 years would really be that perceptible, at the adult age.

What do you think?

Ok, the video that I bolded above comes from this documentary:

http://www.amazon.com/2003-2004-NBA-...ct_top?ie=UTF8


Jim Podhoretz, Steve Michaud directed it, according to Amazon.

I'm going to see if there's any way to contact these guys. (FB, Twitter).

I sent a Stephen Michaud an email. We'll see if he's right "Stephen Michaud".

He replied to my email and said he's not the same guy as the one who is listed in the Amazon video.

Makes sense, because the one in the Amazon video is Steve, while the person I emailed is Stephen.

But still disappointing that another lead has grown cold.

Now it's up to Jim Podhoretz to respond to my FB PM and say that he's the guy I'm looking for.

 

[nuraman00]

Stephen Michaud said he's not the guy I'm looking for.

I PMed and sent a friend request to a "Jim Podhoretz" on FB, but haven't gotten a response.

I don't know know what else to do. This trail seemed promising again once I realized where the documentary came from, and who the directors were. But it's gotten quickly cold again.

Within the past couple of weeks, I've also watched:

1) Game 6 of the 1976 Finals
2) Game 3 of the 1975 Finals





For the latter game, Musburger starts the broadcast by holding Tiny, the Bullets dog mascot.

LOL.

He then asks "What's wrong with Tiny's team"?





++++++++++++++++++

From another board, someone suggested another possibility: Pistons broadcaster George Blaha, who does TV but will shift to radio for national TV games.



After listening to the voice on YouTube, I think it should be considered too.



That would then make sense, to have it in the 2004 Pistons documentary. In that case, then the clip wouldn't have been sampled.

Mark Heisler answered a reddit user.



He doesn't know.

 

[nuraman00]

Got an answer from WDFN, the station that broadcasted Detroit Pistons games in 2003-2004. I had asked if they had game 5 of the 2004 Finals available.



++++++++++++++

No – I’m sorry, we do not have access to the audio from that time.
