Yet Another Reason to Love Gus Johnson

If you know me, you know I love Basketball. I love playing it, I love watching it. In my hierarchy of sports events, March Madness easily ranks #1 (Unless Virginia Tech makes it to a National Championship game...more on that during football season). And a key factor to March Madness, is Gus Johnson.

If you aren't aware of who Gus Johnson is...just watch this:



No one on this earth is more excited to be calling basketball games than Gus Johnson, except maybe Dick Vitale. I'm pretty sure the world would explode if Gus Johnson and Dick Vitale were to call a UNC-Duke National Championship game that went into OT.

Anyway, I am a fan of all things Gus Johnson. Try this:

I've spent hours upon hours on that site, playing around.

Pause...

Which brings us to the point of this post. In the wake of talking about the recent episode of the Boondocks, "Pause," Jay brought this to my attention earlier today:




Let's let that sink in for a second.


Are you kidding me? Gus Johnson, the most professional use of "Pause" ever. With Spike Lee no less....

It's official, I want Gus Johnson to cover every major event in my life: my wedding, my movie premiers, the birth of my children. The man is simply amazing.



....Pause.

I don't like use of the word 'pause'. I think it's innately gay. You don't need to defend your non-homosexuality if you're str8-laced. However, I could not help but laugh at this because it was so professional. The look on Spike's face afterward is classic.
