    Chip Caray got an NBA booth job at 24.

    Skip used to get mad when people would ask about his son's career, as if he had nothing to do with greasing the skids.

    i don't think anyone is charging that all broadcasters born of nepotism are awful. young luke, for instance, may yet develop into a first-rate tv journalist. most of us just decry that these 'names' didn't have to pay the sizeable entrance fees into their gigs.

    as for giving credit to joe buck for acknowledging his father's success for his own rise is not deserving of credit. he'd look like a fool, sound like an idiot, to deny it played a prominent role. i'd imagine young mr. russert would acknowledge the same. you acknowledge it, then work your butt off to prove you belong. that's the best you can do.

    just don't turn it into a charade, like woody johnson's daughter. what a scream...
