    Oh man, thanks! I'd seriously be interested in that job. I'd be fine with leaving acting to work for Blazers. Maybe if Casey H ever moves on..

    Come on, Eric. Half of your sentences would be:

    NOW DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

    Kent and Brooke are good hires I think. Kent has a good voice and is a clear speaker, and Brooke has a cute personality. As for Brian Grant...I wonder if that is a short term thing. His Parkinson's disease will affect his voice right?

    As for Lamar Hurd...I have no idea. I wish they had kept Mike Rice.

    I've never heard him or seen him announce games. I look forward to seeing what he can do.

    I bet Calabro would get pretty tired of, "Learn the game and then announce."

    My father has Parkinson's and I haven't noticed any change in his voice on the phone.

    You'd be perfect. Girls just scream at you already before you even pretend to be a dead body.
