As a PBP guy, he is (obviously just my opinion here) the worst I have ever heard (at least for major pro sports).

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.

I've actually heard him say that doing PBP is his dream job. Which is too bad, since he doesn't seem to be very good at it. Even more sad to me, is that he is really, really good at being a radio host. 960 hasn't been nearly as good without him. I'd almost forgotten how good it used to be, until Kerr was back guest hosting.
Since I think Kerr seems like a really good guy, I hope he gets to keep the PBP job and gets better at it. Selfishly though, I wish he would just go back to 960 so I could stand to tune in again.
