    It's either that or Bill Worrell calling every shot made in a close game "cold-blooded".

    "Splash" does make me cringe.

    But the excitement levels he has at the correct times makes up for it for me.

    I find his style is more suited for radio, same with Ashby.

    His style is terrible for the Radio. He gets so excited he doesn't even call the plays. If you are listening is the car you are trying to figure out what happened.

    Gene would tell us what went down....quickly.(with emotion) He wouldn't get all caught up in the play to the point that he didn't convey what happened..leaving us to divine by ESP/his loud noise/crowd noise what transpired.

    Bill and Calvin = GOAT

    Great commentary, funny, and they kept it real. Calvin used to rip our own players if they weren't getting it done. Also, Calvin brought a little "culture" to the broadcast

    It is because I made a post about it on these forums before and we all know he reads this forums. You can thank me for this.

    I wasn’t really feeling Craig at 1st, but I guess he’s ok now

    the one who really needs to tone it down is Matt Thomas...he sounds horrible
