of the most embarrassing moments of his 12 years with the american forces radio and television it happened during a Tampa Bay Detroit football game last specifically during a one of allans jobs is to fill in the com Mercial Breaks with sports information for the military around the he has a six second delay with which to which Means six seconds after he hears the Start of the action he must tune Back to the but on this he was ram bling on about some other and even when Tampa Bay kicked he figured he could finish before anything critical of it was Plain Allan in in the Middle of talking and i heard the i dont run that kick off Back then i Hes at the the and i was saying to get that Guy they never the Detroit player ran the Kickoff Back for a but arts confused which included an listeners in heard Only the last few Yards of the so i just blew Allan Allan can afford to laugh about those kinds of since he Doest make a habit of since his Days at an radio in the late his has been the most identifiable of the three sports voices at and he has complemented it with accuracy and you live and die by he people out there All Over the world Are relying on your so you have to be and when the

during the next Allan came on the air with another i was watching the game on the to set in this studio and saw that the radio broadcaster was Allan the player was obviously searching for some one he knew to give the Ball he want taunting so i said that on the As it turned the player was giving the Ball to a cripple who wanted the Allan especially likes to Zero in on the problems and quirks of since his officiating status in High school baseball and basketball makes him somewhat of an were not in the opinion Al Lan said to a couple visitors at his arts studio across the Potomac from but i will do something to ill see it on to Here and if i see the official called a play i feel obligated to override his i like to say what is the general feeling among fans concerning a certain subject maybe How during the bum Phillips thing How angry people ill give them the flavor of More than one the reason for that empathy is his Audi which is As wide and diverse As any broadcaster could possibly Appal the fans Are stationed in places like Germany and Korea and Are from new Louisiana i know new Orleans fans out there live and die for the Allan like in the san Francisco when the saints blew a 357 Lead and lost i agonize with those Allan discovered How cognizant his Lis Turners can be when one of them wrote a letter to his it had to do with a Crow noise tape arts runs during Ken Allan agonies Over too the Guy wrote that practically every time he heard the crowd the loud speaker in the background would soands with License plate 4578 please turn his lights the Guy wanted to

Rainy Day in we got in a Van with a six pack and had a in those Days an would tape weekend Day games and run them at right after the emergency announce Allan you dont believe How complicated that
