Comments on: The hideous terrors of the Purina Incredible Dog Challenge, or Televised Dog Tricks On ESPN Are Still Better Than The NBA http://jeffvrabel.com/2009/07/27/the-unbearable-pressures-of-the-purina-incredible-dog-challenge/ I'm a a writer for such outlets as Men's Health, Paste, Billboard and brucespringsteen.net, a writer/editor at Nickelodeon's humor site NickMom.com, a syndicated humor columnist for GateHouse, a very slow runner and a father of two (the younger of whom has been personally approved by Bruce Springsteen).

I have always wondered about the announcers of such events. What else do they announce? Did they have special training for this? Is there a pool of these people fighting over such good jobs as this? Are they an accounting clerk in the off-season?

The most our old dog could do was find the tiniest little spot on the floorboard to hide between 3 kids’ pairs of feet who kept saying “Did we HAVE to bring ole stinky butt to Grandma’s?”

(seriously, I would like to see that dog competition…)
