ANALYSIS/OPINION:
Ted Leonsis seems to have found a way to get the dwindling, diminished, demolished Washington Wizards fanbase fired up and passionate about something: The boss is considering cutting loose perhaps the only good thing about the basketball team.
Longtime Wizards play-by-play voice Steve Buckhantz has been told, according to the Washington Post, that the Transparent Ted’s network — NBC Sports Romper Room — will not be picking up the option on Buckhantz’s contract for next season.
Buckhantz began calling games for this basketball team in 1997, but his future is in doubt. The network needed to tell Buckhantz by March 1 if it was picking up his option, the Post reported, but there is still a chance that the talented, veteran announcer returns.
