Blunk was my favorite of the new people last night but, again, I love Holly Rowe too. Which surprises me, for some reason. I’m plenty critical - more critical, I think, than positive. For example, I’m so glad Harpring is gone and I don’t miss KK one bit. But I really enjoy Rowe’s contributions on the nights she joins Boler and Bailey. I love Thurl. Boler is fine - he has a great voice, but my consistent irritation is when the announcers try so hard - so much so it’s distracting from the game and the athletes. I don’t care about the announcers so I love it when they’re less obtrusive/less fighting for the spotlight. Locke is the most tryhard - that “buy one get one free ****” is the worst. So grating tryhard.
JazzGal is right when she says “I appreciated that they didn’t get in the way of the game for me with a lot of banter.”
Amen, JG. And this is why I still love and miss Steve Brown. That guy was so invisible it was great. Blunk reminded me of “Brownie.”
To each their own. I realize I’m the lone member of the Steve Brown fan club. Boler is fine - he’s just either showing sign of dementia or that this isn’t really his sport. Utah needs a football team for Boler and Alema to cover. They’re kinda square pegs for me when it comes to basketball.
Whatevs, I just really enjoyed the cast last night and it had everything by to do with their style/demeanor and nothing to do with their gender.
