He said he's not going to watch any teams that are upcoming on his schedule, he's just going to read about it. For the Yanks-Sox series "I'll read all the Boston and NY clips, but as far as watching, that's just not part of my day."
That's exactly the point. It's his job, yet he doesn't like watching and therefore doesn't prepare at all. Reading newspaper clips before a game is not called being prepared. A broadcaster has to know the players and everything about them. That's why I'd prefer a homer broadcaster to someone who knows nothing and admittedly doesn't give a hoot for sports....
