My god I can't listen to that shtick anymore. It's been brutal for awhile, but the new "Can I get a witness?!" makes my ears bleed.
PA does seem like a good dude in person, he was SUPER cool with my kid, so I don't wish an accident on him in a REALLY bad way, but maybe just enough that inflection in his voice changes and he doesn't talk like such a bro-backward hat white frat Vanilla Ice play-by-play guy.
Bursich and Lieber keep me half-ass interested in commentary, amazing when it comes from people that actually KNOW the game, except Greg Coleman. He and PA apparently went to the same school of alienating listeners with bad inflection, hooks, and tag lines.
I laughed out loud reading that---Great Take!
I've gone back and forth on PA and right now the pendulum has swung far to me really liking him. I think I've taken him way too seriously when I haven't cared for him. He really is just the ultimate rube. Having Nordo as his producer is the best thing that ever could have happened to him. How big of an improvement he is over tiny Joe can't be understated. Nordo is freaking awesome.
Leber and Bersich are great, Leber especially, and agree that Coleman sucks. At least PA offers some substance with his schtick and I find it to be subtly hilarious. Coleman is a blowhard with no schtick....he is what he is and it isn't creative, funny, ironic, or anything else even kinda-sorta having redeemable qualities.
Can I get a witness? Amen!
