Agreed.
Why is he one of the main guys on CBS? What has he ever done to warrant that job?
wiki wiki below. First, I had the misfortune of having him doing 3 hours every morning on our local sports talk. Worst host evah. Spent all day talking about himself and his accomplishments...or shouting down and hanging up on any caller that dared disagree. But....I think the guy is highly qualified to get that position.
In 1976 Brando did a stint as a DJ at radio station KROK FM in Shreveport, La. From 1981 to 1986, Brando was WAFB-TV Baton Rouge's assistant sports director and did telecasts of Louisiana State University basketball as well as women's basketball[1] on Tigervision. From 1986–94, he served as a studio host for SportsCenter, for ESPN's college football halftime show, and for the network's coverage of the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship.[2] In 1994, he provided play-by-play for TNT's coverage of the NBA Playoffs. Brando also called Atlanta Hawks and Atlanta Braves games for SportSouth and also auditioned for Wheel of Fortune during this period.
In 1996, Brando joined CBS Sports and began calling NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship games. Three years later, he added hosting duties on College Football Today,[3] which is the broadcast network home of SEC football. He has also provided play-by-play for the NFL on CBS. In addition to his CBS duties, Brando calls games for Raycom's coverage of the Atlantic Coast Conference basketball telecasts. Tim is in his eighth season of hosting Raycom's Emmy Award winning show- "Football Saturdays In The South."
Brando called the four games in Tampa, Florida, during the 2008 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament where for the first time ever, all four lower seeded teams won in the same venue on the same day.
