That being said, Leah's more than competent at her job. Not really exceptional though.
Bob is the pinnacle, but don't forget Elliotte Friedman. I actually have the same respect for him as I do McKenzie.

And although not really a TV personality, whenever Eric Duhatschek writes or speaks I pay attention.

I agree. Friedman and Hudrey are really easy to listen to, they look like genuine nice guys who will listen to your point of view and not talk over you (like the opposite of Kypreos and Healy, although Kypreos is getting a bit better).

Love Freidge on the morning shows with Boomer, Pinder, and Rhettro.

I dont know how anyone can comment on this with any degree of insight. Shes sheltered. Granted, she gives me the impression that she knows more than shes allowed to display but as it stands her whole job is to draw answers from the 'talent.'

And I dont mean that in a demeaning capacity. Its the same as Duthie's job.

'Make the people whom we have convinced the majority of viewers believe know what they're talking about say things.'

Hextall seems fine but I think her talents are being wasted.

Different strokes for different folks I guess - but I like Leah Hextall - she is knowledgeable about the game and brings some enthusiasm when surrounded by wet socks like John Shannon and Rich Sutter.

I'd pay good money to watch Leah Hextall beat Shannon and 'Richy' with wet socks. Wet socks full of doorknobs.

Yes, I know, she has to provide her own doorknobs.
