Radio announcer

I hear it's a done deal - Rich Phillips is the man. Any thoughts on how he and Craig Swann will mesh in the booth?

Either way, props to Rich, if he is, in fact, the man behind the mike.

Hopefully the afternoon idiots on that station will treat Rich with a little more respect than they did Followill. They used to barbeque Mark about his enthusiastic calls, and all it landed him was a full-time job announcing one of the hottest teams in the NBA. Meanwhile, TweedleDum (Rhyner) and TweedleDummer (Williams) still spend their afternoons talking about girls, bands, movies and anything else they can touch on to hide the fact that they know absolutely nada about sports, particularly football. It still baffles me that the higher-ups at the station allow them to mock their own co-worker who broadcasts SMU games, when it would be in the best interest (at least financially) of the station to have all the hosts plug the broadcasts and talk up the Ponies. It simply shows that sports talk radio has absolutely nothing to do with sports.
