I kind of had a feeling he would get canned. But I would put him in the "he's so bad, he's good" category.
Luftman is >>>>>>>> Akamian. My wife gets angry everytime she sees Akamian she says "What the fuck? If a woman looked like that she wouldn't get airtime on the local news let alone as a broadcaster." Definitely a double standard on double chins
Really? I would have put him in the "he's so bad, he makes me want to drive an icepick into my eye socket" category. But to each their own I guess.
Wasn't he the guy that was told by the Blazers that they will be making some changes this summer, so they will have to let him go. And then he ended up being the only change they made? I'm not sure where I heard that though. If its true, I can see the "he's so bad, he's good" category for him, or at least "he's so bad, he can be somewhat entertaining at times" category.

Fucking BRUTAL! God that guy's shtick and voice made me cringe, he's worse than nails on a chalkboard.
He doesn't come off as pedantic to me, but I don't really like him very much regardless. I hated Luftman though.
I'm still amazed at the overall production of that pregame show. The set, the hosts. It was like a small college news station or something. Terrible.
Bob Akamian is terrible. At least Luftman brought some energy. Give Akamian some prozac and a couple shots. That might make him at least tolerable.
