Loubo is a personality and that’s what you’re supposed to have in these roles. Kelly is the same for me, they both have knowledge and personality.
Just like the CDC paste eater I’m sad to hear this board did the man a disservice.

The thing about Loubo is really a microcosm of the issues with TV media in general.
I didnt immediately like him. But he grew on me because whatever his idiosyncrasies the man knew what he was talking about and he called a good game.
It just took some time to warm up to him.
But in media time is currency and its not a notoriously patient medium. I think Loubo was a victim of that, and that to me suggests very short-sighted management.
If they'd stuck with him, I think they'd have found a real Gem. In the wake of the layoffs going on right now I hope he gets another shot because all in all, he was really good.
He has the knowledge and the talent. And if its just because he has a slightly annoying voice (initially) then I think that is very short-sighted.
You get used to his voice. The man is a treasure.
