Did Thom really call games with Marty in the late 1980s?
editI listened to and watched an awful lot of Reds baseball between 1985 and 1991. I even remember the unfortunate Tom Hume experiment in the TV booth. I do not remember Thom Brennaman doing any radio or TV work for the Reds, except possibly, perhaps, as a one-time special with Dad. At some point in the late 1980s, Thom was working for channel 5 (NBC) doing high school sports. He showed up at Beechwood high school football games on several occasions spanning at least a couple of years between 1986 and 1990.
So -- I'm going to remove the line that Thom called Reds games with Marty back in the 80s pending a source. If someone comes up with that source, then mea culpa. Moishe Rosenbaum (talk) 02:53, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
Brennaman on the NBA on TNT?
editI don't think Brennaman was on the NBA on TNT. I'm sure he did college games but not NBA games. WisconsinBoyClevelandRocks228844 (talk) 00:11, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
Seeking consensus: Identify on-air "apology" as a non-apology apology
editThis page incorrectly describes an on air statement as an "apology". The statement was qualified by "If I have hurt anyone". According to. non-apology apology, this statement is better described as an "ifpology".
I am proposing this edit to more accurately reflect the on-air statement he made while attempting to apologize.
Source: The existing citation 7 ( ""Thom Brennaman apologized on-air and handed the broadcast off"". Twitter. Retrieved 2020-08-20.) includes his full on air statement: "If I hurt anyone out there".
replace: Before leaving the booth, Brennaman apologized for his earlier comment, saying that he was "deeply ashamed." with: Before leaving the booth, Brennaman offered a [[non-apology apology] for his earlier comment, saying that he was "deeply ashamed" if he "hurt anyone out there"

- I think how it reads now works, although an update will eventually be needed after the line "he would reach out to the LGBTQ+ organization PFLAG to make further amends." ~EdGl! 21:22, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
