John Mayer: some of us believe the crappy emo singer and blogger should take his guitar and go play in traffic; others believe he is hot, and therefore not that bad. But one thing we can all agree on is that he should not be a sports announcer. The evidence? This minute-long clip of him, for some reason, announcing a preseason baseball game in Tokyo. Which makes about as much sense as him supporting Ron Paul. Below, the video of Mayer's analysis of all sports occurrences: "Aaaaand, that happened!"

I will gladly accept him as a sportscaster, if:
- He takes Tim McCarver's place
- He stops making music
Is he emo? I thought he was more like adult contempo casual.
john, don't quit your day job. on second thought...
John Mayer being a sports broadcaster makes about as much sense as Susan Waldman being a sports broadcaster.
Fathers be good to your daughters
Daughters will live like you do
Girls become lovers
who turn into mothers
So mothers be good to your daughters too
...because they won't get to play in a viable professional sports league.
@FitnessMadeSimple: LAY OFF GEORGIE'S GIRL!!!
No you may...er...not.
(In my best Bill Walton Voice) "Unbelievable!"
"not what baseball was looking for."
i dunno. i'm baseball fan and i think this is funny. his music is garb though, mos def.
Regular season baseball game. The Red Sox are playing a preseason game tomorrow. Don't ask.
@In Other News...: That's funny!
@In Other News...:
I want to scrub that lyric from my brain.
Do no want.
having read neither this post nor the comments, i can sum up my thoughts on this matter in two words:
david hasselhoff.
right?
+ Watch video
@Botswana Meat Commission FC: Yeah yeah. And you are also not tapping your toes and humming along to "Clarity."
@CodePink: I have a friend trying out for a semi-pro women's soccer team. She should be playing pro, goddamnit!!!!!!!!!
john mayer is about 46 now and he is pretending he doesn't know what balls and strikes are? Dude, you're not that hip. You have one song where you try to sound like chris martin and the rest of your songs sound like the noises steve winwood makes when he cums. and you're a millionaire. you win. quit trying to pepper pop culture with these little side tangents.
@Liberace:
ew. i don't know karate but that comment was kareepee.
Ron Paul. Ron Paul. RON PAUL!
Say what you will about Mayer, he's definitely not emo.
@Jim Thome's Self-Cleaning Oven: Great username. Do you do that thing where he points his bat skyward before the pitcher throws whilst making muffins?
It gets even better-- read the guy's blog. Wow.
I don't care for John Mayer's music, emo or not, but I love him in this goofy fake interview on Banterist:
