Rams broadcaster Jack Snow is facing a medical crisis, due to a staff infection. Snow is listed in critical condition.

Newschannel 5 Sports Director Rene Knott spoke with Rams director of media relations Duane Lewis on Wednesday night. Lewis says Snow was admitted to Barnes-Jewish hospital last week.

This is the second time Snow has been hospitalized with the illness in the past two months. He never made a full recovery from the first bout.

Snow handles the color commentary for the Rams radio broadcasts, but he has missed the team's last five games.

Snow played for the Rams from 1965 though 1975. He caught 340 passes for more than six thousand yards. He also made the Pro Bowl in 1967.

P.S. All English questions aside, if you are a praying person, maybe say a prayer for him too.

Sure. But what is 'color commentary'? Something like setting the scene perhaps?

 

[CajunCenturion]

Or perhaps he wrote some horrible music and didn't like the way it looked on paper?

Or maybe he trippped over his walking stick?

On a serious note, I do wish him all the best.

From Wikipedia: A color commentator is a member of the broadcasting team for a sporting event who assists the play-by-play announcer by filling in any time when play is not in progress. The color commentator provides expert analysis and background information, such as statistics, strategy and injury reports, on the teams and athletes, and occasionally light humor. Color commentators are usually people who used to play and/or coach the sport that they broadcast.

Thanks, Susan. I did a Vivisimo search on the term "color commentary". It is used so frequently that I could not quickly find its definition.

Thanks, Susan, that clears it up for me.

NorthNone, I take it your a fellow St. Louisan?

I am. You're one also?

Interesting - I was looking at some of the other articles on the orginal website, and came across this:

A 7-month-old baby girl is in critical condition after being beaten on Christmas Eve. The infant lives with her 16-year-old mother and her 19-year-old live-in boyfriend in the 800 block of Trudy Lane.

Why does a 7-month-old child have a 19-year-old live-in boyfriend?

Zarkon,

I believe you're missing NorthNone's gentle grammatical correction to your posting.

NorthNone, you're missing your true callings in life...From your days of yore, I'm certain you're well prepared to be either an editor or a diplomat.

They have since corrected the story.

 

[NorthNone]

As noted in my second post above, yes it has been corrected.

I noted this correction in my third post in this thread, not my second post.

[zarkon4]

I believe it was the third post you made. I had referred to the other story that SF071 posted.

 

[AnotherHiggins]

zarkon4, I just opened that story again (about the baby) and it does not seem to have been corrected.
