We've been saying that for 10 years now, ha. He's not even that old either (64). Yeah, he does screw up the names more and more, but I feel like the call of the game makes up for it.

Also, Radio play by play is designed to be different than TV. They need to paint a more clear picture for listeners, and it tends to be a little overbearing if you're already watching the play in front of you.

I don't necessarily disagree, but I still find his calls extremely entertaining and thought they worked great with tv. I'd much rather have a radio guy describing the play, than someone going on and on about something that has nothing to do with the action.
