How Drunk is Vern Lundquist During Broadcasts?

Vern Lundquist, an apparently successful announcer in the eyes of NBC, has made a complete buffoon of himself the last two Broncos preseason games. 

Every announcer has a slip-up from time to time, but it seems like Vern is either "pre-gaming" a little too hard or his vision is so pitiful that he mistakes Eric Decker (6'3", 220 lbs, white, #87) with Willis McGahee (6'0", 235 lbs, black, #23). 

Later, during the same drive of that disgustingly erroneous statement, he mentions Willis McGahee came to Denver because of the trade of Jabar Gaffney. Gaffney was traded to Washington. For Jeremy Jarmon. A defensive end.

Anybody who paid any attention to the minute offseason that spanned all of two weeks should have been aware the two main running backs every team in the NFL was looking at were McGahee and Marion Barber (who went to Chicago). 

Obviously, I have the benefit of the internet to check my facts before spewing grossly ignorant statements into the heads of viewers/readers/listeners, but I promise I only used it to check the vitals of Decker/McGahee and to post this blog. Regardless of what I can look up, I am still aware of thoughts my brain process less than five seconds ago.

At the goalline, mere plays later, Vern mentions McGahee coming into the backfield to relieve Moreno. Within moments, Orton hands the ball off on the left side and the apparently shape-shifting Moreno runs the ball into the endzone. Vern, doing his best to remember the last few words he uttered, yells excitedly "KNOWSHON... No... McGahee. I beg your pardon."

Unfortunately, Knowshon Moreno cannot shape-shift into other running backs in the NFL. That would be awesome. 

On the other hand, Vern Lundquist's announcing is anything but.

Please Vern, lay off the hooch before you go on television. For your own health, if not for the sanity of your viewers.
