Because I'm not from Calgary and I only listen to post-game shows on Fan960 the odd time, but I really don't see why people have a hate on for Kerr's PBP.

I really like Kerr when he is on the radio discussing the Flames, asking questions, providing analysis, etc.
As a PBP guy, he is (obviously just my opinion here) the worst I have ever heard (at least for major pro sports). He wanders off topic during the play, then scrambles back in when something important has inevitably happened. He is extremely monotonous most of the time, then suddenly adds inflexion as if he just remembered a tip he got from Peter Mayer, except that he will do it when inflexion is neither required nor appropriate.
Most of the time, I am left with the impression that he doesn't really even WANT to be doing PBP, that he would rather just chat about the Flames with Simmer
But I agree with you, mikeecho... the afternoon show is much better with him subbing in.
