I 1000% agree! Boring, doesn't know chit and has an annoying sounding voice.
So they audition him and Mychal Thompson and this is who they picked?!?

My brother and I used to do a sports show together when we were undergrads for a campus radio station. It was mainly us arguing for an hour about sports, but it was fun, and people (usually flat-out stoned or drunk) would call in since the show was on a Saturday at 1am.

They should have put John Strong in that time slot. He's good.

He's too much of a Canzano kiss ass and all he likes to talk about is soccer.
They should have spent the money and hired Mychal Thompson.

Thompson would have only been able to do the show temporarily because of his job with the Lakers.
Michael Holton would have been a good option IMO.

I guess I'll have to listen to ESPN Radio from noon-3 at work.

Mychal doesn't work for the Lakers anymore. Rumor has it the he was too critical of the Lakers.
When he was with Kermit in Portland years back that was the best sports radio show I've ever heard. I was surprised he didn't make the jump to TV. He is much smarter, funnier and quicker on his feet than Sir Charles or Shaq could ever dream of being.

That's interesting, he said in May or June when he was auditioning for the 9-noon time slot on The Game that he wasn't doing the Lakers anymore and was looking to move back to Portland if he got the gig.

Thompson was Kevin Calabro's colorman for a couple of seasons, doing all Sonic games, radio and TV. He was the best colorman Calabro had in all his years with the Sonics. Their chemistry was stupendous and each made the other funnier.
Thompson is the opposite of Barkley or Shaq. He doesn't project macho power and act like he's ready to fight. He talks quickly and makes funny little snide comments. He amused listeners with a lot of non-basketball garbage. He's smart and glib compared to other former 1st picks in the whole draft.
He refers to popular culture. Nowadays he'd probably say a player must have been listening to his I-pad when he screwed up that last play, something like that. He'd say the player was distracted by some particular song Thompson doesn't like. Then he and Calabro would have gone on a tangent about their favorite and least favorite musical groups, delighted to be in each other's company. It was sure better than describing how the Sonics were losing.

It would be all Seahawk this, Seahawk that, not sure I could listen to him without an NBA season.
Ha ha! Screw you and your Steelers!
