    Not too much. I think Holton could be a lot better but isn't allowed to be.

    Never watch it. Adam Bjaranson has no right having that job.. He provides no intelligent analysis and misspeaks more frequently than any other sportscaster I've ever heard. Holton is alright.

    What do you know if you never watch it? Holton has mad knowledge and Adam does a fine job guiding the show. This isn't ESPN, it's Comcrap after all.

    I never watch it, present tense. I've watched it. I said Holton's alright, but we're gonna have to agree to disagree on Bjaranson. I can't just let it slide, even if it is Comcast, because he's absolutely the worst at his job I've ever seen.

    Yeah, I agree, imo Holton does a better job breaking down game tape and player evaluating than just about anyone in the broadcast business. He has a little sugar to his broadcasting game, which gives him a personality. What's not to like? He's toned down the silliness lately, which probably delights some people, but is a bummer for me. Adam is good natured enough. He's no Tony Luffman, but thank gawd he isn't Bob Akamian either.

    When the show was at it's best, Luffman and Holton were beating the "what did they win" game to death and Haarlow was the eye candy. I think they miss and need some eye candy.

    I haven't had the 'pleasure' or the 'opportunity' to watch them this year. Bjornson is OK. He's a moderator. Holton on the other hand, really knows his stuff. Unfortunately, his delivery and attempts to be cute or funny or whatever it is he tries to be is a total fail. If he'd stick to basketball analysis and stopped trying to have/be a personality he'd be OK too.

    There are too many sports on nowadays to watch halftime shows. Also, watching Comcast Sports Northwest makes my eyes bleed because the resolution is so bad, so the less I need to have that channel on my television the better.

    It still amazes me how terrible the Blazers game look. The game the other night was tremendously over-exposed (WAY too bright) and still managed to maintain its combination of fuzziness and vaseline-smeared resolution. It was ridiculous. Is ridiculous, I guess, because it's been years and those broadcasts still look horrific whenver I watch them here in Seattle.

    I enjoy the Pre Game, Halftime, and Post Game shows. Holton is a stud! I wish we'd get more of him... on both TV and Radio.

    I was complaining about a place not having a coat check last weekend, and my buddy says to me, "Ahhh First World Problems."
