I could see Mike and Mike doing some college basketball together.
 
I feel bad for Wheels. Especially on the road it's going to be extremely hard to do the work of two people. That job just isn't talking on the radio, it's also keeping up on the scoring, stats, timeouts, fouls, and tweets during the game. That's going to be rough for Wheels.

I don't think they'll leave him alone....he could have guest color commentators for each game as well.

I imagine it would be more difficult having someone new next to you every game than it would be just doing it by yourself.

Wheels is a pro...he can host any banter or interview with coaches, players, etc....although I'd like them to hire an ex coach to do color for him...maybe a guy like Mike Dunleavy
 
Paul is technology oriented. I predict the Mikes will be replaced by robots.

I know Wheels is a pro. A two man broadcast w/ someone you've never worked with before is difficult. There is a rhythm, it's a bit like a dance. Asking Wheels to do that with someone different for 100 games a season would be much harder. Jeez, all I'm saying is that this is going to be hard on Wheels.

He already does that with baseball now doesn't he? He's been broadcasting baseball for a long time I understand or at least I though I heard him talk to Tone about it a couple times

You can offer to be his lap dog and do all of those things for him

I honestly think Wheels will be relieved to not have to steer Tone's wandering attempts at humor back into the game...I'll never forget Tone talking during a game about beating a journalist with a lead pipe if he could....I was speechless but Wheels turned it around like the pro he is
 
1. Wheels is our longest forum friend and happily meets w/ us every year.

2. He reads this forum.

3. Instead of being so dismissive, trust me when I say this is going to be hard for him. It's going to be twice the work.

I'm sure it'll be hard but I don't think it's dismissive to discuss the situation. I also don't think he'll end up solo for long
 
Antonio Harvey is the worst commentator I've ever heard. I have no idea what they were thinking in hiring him. It's not like he got the job due to being a beloved former player, he was just a bench warmer. And he stummbles over his sentences and tries to say clever things that just sound stupid.

Mike Barrett was ok, but I could take him or leave him. But I really liked Mike Rice. Man, he was with us from the Schonley days. Why did they get rid of him?
