From the mouth of sportscasters ...

So here is Terry Gannon, 42, described as trim with dark hair and a resonant voice. A top-flight announcer with ABC and ESPN, and, according to a recent story in Raleigh's News & Observer, "arguably the most versatile in the business."

What caught our eye was this brief tale of no doubt great interest to Tampa's Outback Steakhouse chain.

"I called the Outback Steakhouse Blimp the Out House Steak Back Blimp one time," Gannon told the Raleigh paper last month. "They didn't like that."

We never thought of the steak chain name as a tongue twister before. But just try saying "No Rules. Just Right" and "Outback Steakhouse" five times fast. It will drive you bloomin' crazy.
