Other than those two guys it's pretty slim pickings. Channel 3 has slipped terribly since Kricket Morton left. Channel 9 is unwatchable, especially that Bill Voth guy they got on the weekends. I've never seen anybody so obnoxious in my life. I like Kelli Bartik on Fox, but the Wookie she works with is probably the worst of the worst.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1488810632253889763.post-41312612168942717702009-02-19T21:23:00.000-05:002009-02-19T21:23:00.000-05:00Go ahead and cast your votes, but there is a sport...Go ahead and cast your votes, but there is a sportcaster in the making now named "Dukey" that will blow all the above mentioned away!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1488810632253889763.post-19297100808456613772009-02-19T21:12:00.000-05:002009-02-19T21:12:00.000-05:00Kristin said...
