Similar to our crew in that regard actually.

All my life (born 1957), I have been treated to 1st rate Blackhawk PBP guys. Lloyd Pettit and Pat Foley gave me a pair of Foster Hewitt award winners for over 60 years of my life. Ball is also high caliber. The broadcasters know that Chicago fans can smell BS, and, in no sport, sugar coat the truth. The PBP guys can be honest, and the fans won't revolt, where we get upset, is when we are sold a bill of goods, that is sub par. For classic Foley telling the truth, google Foley rips Karpostsev on Youtube. It was brutal, but from the heart.
