There have been impending signs the past few weeks, but it has finally occurred: Eddie Johnson, the Suns color commentator, has officially lost his marbles.
I don’t even know what he’s talking about half the time in this video. Something about pizza coupons? Pinstriped suits? That’s what commentating a losing team will do to a guy. There’s only so much heartbreak and despair one guy can take before he snaps.
Alan Williams seems to be faring okay, though. It wasn’t really his fault that the Suns kept losing, because he never got to play except in the garbagiest of garbage time, so his psyche is sound, unravaged by the feeling that his own inadequacies are what caused his team’s downfall. This is far and away his best performance of the season, the fabled career-high in career-highs. He’s not going to be in the NBA next year, but I don’t care. No one can ever take these Alan Williams highlights away from me.
