There'll never be another like him. Today you have a bunch of #^&#^&#^&#^&y V clones with their "yeah, baby's".

That is a classic Mike! I agree....todays broadcasters are a bunch of "wannabies"! I am enjoying listening to #^&#^&#^&#^& Stockton call the basketball games......he is awesome! I remember when he called the Sox games with Hawk Harrelson! That was the best!
