    Well it gave me a headache. Hearing Timmy talk was funny but then just mind-numbing, but Walton's Words was brutal. I hope they never, ever do that again.

    Yeah. I am going to try to go to all of their home games. They start in a few weeks I think. I'll take pictures of him at the game.

    Turner got rid of Hubie?! :mad: He's undoubtedly the best in the biz.

    Do you guys happen to know if TBS will continue to carry any games and which particular nights ESPN will broadcast?

    So apparantly is the inability to make a point.

    It just seemed like it didn't belong. Kind of like watching a German Sheppard attempting advanced calculus.

    Nobody mentioned the Snapper. Does that mean we won't be treated to him and Walton b****ing at each other while a game is going on? Nothing, not even the departure of Ahmad Rashad, pleases me more than Bob Costas not doing the broadcaasts. Please let him not be on ABC either.

    No Snapper. He was not picked up. ABC will use ESPN's lead group of Nessler and Walton.

    Disagree about Costas, but am right with you about Snapper/Walton...I have always felt that Snapper was the main cause...Sure Walton makes ridiculous statements, but at least they are his...Snapper often seemed to offer little more than an automatic rejection of whatever Walton says. Drove me nuts.

    Snapper seemed to me to be another shill for the league. Worse than Hubie (god bless his hair-piece). .... I'll be glad to not have to hear Costas straining to make every possesion sound as if it were "the stuff of legend".

    I love the combo of Snapper and Walton.
    Walton with his extreme comments, and Steve right there to disagree with 80% of his comments.


    Something I don't get though, no more Hubie but Magic Johnson will be along side Earnie, Kenny, and Charles?
    I know it's two totally different jobs, but that's still no excuse to give Johnson more time on television. :confused:
