He has direct day-to-day control of DBacks broadcasting matters, but he's
just an employee with FOX/FSN. If he could have, I'm sure he -would- have
deferred the BDSSP promo to Lyons rather than utter the epithet himself; the
fact that he didn't, I think, speaks eloquently to the circumstances behind
the scenes.

Brenly is working with Thom throughout the NLCS. I'm hearing rumours that
he's also second in line for the DBacks broadcast job again, if a) the Steve
Stone fantasy doesn't pan out, b) Brenly's interested in working for the
organization again, and c) he doesn't make a serious push for the Phillies
managerial slot.
