Gator's Blog: Swapping the Fish!

You gotta love it when someone goes out of their way to make your day. What Pistons Radio Announcer Mark Champion did on Friday went above and beyond something that truly made mine.

For weeks, we've joked on the Karsch and Anderson show that Mark should alter his signature call of "Holy Mackerel" to "Holy Big Giant Clam", never really thinking it would get consideration. Mark discussed on the air about ten days ago, whether or not he should "swap the fish" and go with the Clam Call. After Rick Mahorn dissed the idea, naturally we thought it was dead in the water.

That's when things got AWESOME on Friday night. Mark went ahead and busted out a "Holy Giant Clam" in response to a nice basket from Rodney Stuckey. Not only did he make my day, Mark Champion made my month!

Thanks Mark, you're the best!
