    You liked his shtick? You must be as drunk as the girl in you avatar :lol:

    Seriously, I did not like him as a broadcaster so I'm glad he's gone.
    However, I did like him as a person, so I'm bummed he's out of a job.

    Oh man was that a tired gag. I mean, sure I laughed the first few times. But night after night after night.....

    They should really just show the live feed from the arena during half time. If I gotta stare at Blazer employees, I'd rather it be the dancers.

    I'm sorry, but when there's a "restructuring" that results in the elimination of only one person, that's a firing.

    Luftman was cool, but I hated when he always said "and what have they won mike" and mike always says "a basketball game"

    Haha, exactly.


    I had a friend who's wife cheated on him and then dumped him. When people would say he was dumped he would tell them it was a restructuring of her life, and he was just caught up in the numbers LOL

    I thought it was excellent surrealism theater. They made me laugh every time.

    Not so good for sports broadcasting, though.

    They "restructured" the wrong guy. Michael Holton was even worse than Luftman. The two together were death. I couldn't stand to watch the halftime show and would either go do something else or flip channels.

    There's a difference between campy and mindless repetition. After a while, even my 9-year old daughter grew tired of their schtick. In her words: "That joke's so funny the first time I heard it I laughed so hard I nearly fell off my dinosaur".

    The sarcasm loses some bite coming from a kid, because she could mean she fell off a stuffed animal dinosaur toy.

    What are you talking about? Holton is the shit. They both are really good, I just got sick of Tony always saying "And what have they won"

    Why you trynna take the black man down?

    I nominate KingSpeed, too.

    After every loss we get to see one of his epic meltdowns.
