    I was always partial to the "clubbing baby seals" and "everything looks like a nail to a hammer" bits from Clyde.

    Anything Bill Worrell related, he was the voice of the Houston Rockets for almost 40 years

    I'd give anything for Bill and Bull, even Craig and Bull. Just not Hollins

    It's gotta be "clubbing baby seals." As far as I know it was only ever said once, and once was not enough. Can never get enough "clubbing baby seals."

    I would love to have heard the conversation with Clyde after he said that one. I can just imagine a PR person delicately trying to explain why some users might be sensitive to that statement and Clyde just staring at him with far away eyes.

    FWIW, I did quite enjoy the handful of games where Ryan learned the term Aura Maxing and him and Craig were using it as much as possible as old guys trying to prove they are hip to the new slang often do. I think that was late last year right when Amen was starting to show glimpses...
