Say It Ain’t So, Joe (Tessitore)

Related Topics: Joe Tessitore, Curtis Luper

Today we’re talking about broadcasters. Joe Tessitore, a long time voice of college football, and candidly, a guy I got to work with a lot during my athletics days, made some news Tuesday when it was released that he is joining the WWE as their new play-by-play voice.

My first reaction was - say it ain’t so, Joe.

Then I read the details, and thankfully, Tessitore isn’t leaving his college football gig with the ESPN family, he’s just adding this to his duty list during the summer months.

Announcers create quite a chasm of opinion in people, it’s so funny how one announcer can be one person’s absolute favorite, and yet profoundly hated by the next guy.
