ESPN Columnist and Broadcaster Looks Like...

Tonight, I was watching the resurgent edition of NHL 2night on ESPN2 and the usual suspects were behind the anchor desk. John Buccigross, Barry Melrose, and Ray "Chicken Parm" Ferraro.

During one break, Barry teased his friend John by calling him "Ashley Banfield" because of the glasses that John wears are similar to the MSNBC info-babe. When they came back from the break, John re-introduced himself by naming his co-anchors and referring to himself as "Ashley Banfield".

I got a good laugh out of that. It only supports the belief that Buccigross and all the self-deprecating humor (especially in his ESPN.com columns) that make him out to be a nice guy.
