    All things considered, this is the best possible news for the play by play job, IMO.

    Now, I'm waiting for the worst possible news for the color position.

    The guy is a fucking legend.

    Now we need a legit color man. Not PJ.

    Hire Brent Barry, and I call this a massive win.

    McGowan said we wouldn't have to wait long. Does this make some fans more okay with the decision?

    This was the rumor for the past couple days. No word on the color guy though.

    Gotta admit, MB is kind of bland and subdued compared to Calabro. I get why they wanted to go that direction.

    I was less worried about this selection than the color commentator one. Holding my breath.

    I don't mind the hire. It's just the way they handled the hire...

    "I’ll certainly have a great analyst hopefully with years of experience sitting next to me and we’ll be able to explain anything that’s occurred on the floor, to give some kind of reasoning behind what’s happened on the floor.”

    Sorry, MM, but I think we can cross Roy off the list.

    That video snippet by Calabro is incredible. There is so much going on and he is one top of it completely clearly throughout the entire scrum.

    I would love for it to be Brent Barry.

    Calabro said in that article he wants someone who would match his energy, but I completely disagree. I think you need a balance and someone reflective, knowledgeable and articulate. Barry is all of that.

    Shocking

    Still not sure how much better he is than Barrett. That maybe the wrong way to put that. I know he is better, I'm not sure how much better he is to make this a great hire
