Agree except for Romo, he just needs to stop talking so much. I swear he doesn't even pause to breathe.
Back in a land far away in another place and time when Chick Hearn did a simulcast he would apologize to the TV audience for talking too much.
As much as California has went downhill and I did not flee the state till almost the age of 50, it was a great place to grow up as a hardcore sports fan.
Look at the list of sportscasters and announcers that covered games and events there as a career or where they got their start to popularity.
John Madden as the coach of the Raiders.
Vin Sculley the voice of the Dodgers.
Dick Enberg voice of the California Angels and Los Angeles Rams.
Harry Henson, track announcer Hollywood Park, honorable mention to Vic Stauffer.
Trevor Denman, track announcer Santa Anita, Delmar, Fairplex Park.
Jim Rome, sports talk, started at the Mighty 690am in San Diego.
The list goes on and on,................
