I wonder if the new person will be a fan? The Mikes were both fans, who wore their emotions on their sleeves, which a lot of fans loved about them...as well as some did not like. Calabro doesn't strike me as one who will be a "fan". He'll do a great job, and get excited, but in a more professional way.

I don't want that to come off as one is netter than the other, just an opinion on what will be.

Good. We don't need them to be fan boys like the Mikes. I like fair and objective announcers

I think both styles have value, and there would be value in both styles being represented in the broadcast team. A fair and objective PBP guy like Calabro paired with a more fan-centric color commentator would be great. And on the radio side, if they keep Wheels and return to a two-man team, I'd love to hear him paired with a more even-keeled color man.

You know what's interesting... I found Mike Barrett to be the more "professional" (in terms of how he came across in his voice) of the two mikes... He, for the most part, was pretty down the middle and never got too excited or biased (He had his patented "And here comes -enter opponents name here- back into the game"... even if we were up 20) .

But, I completely get where you're coming from. Calabro will most likely be "professionally excited" for our team... which isn't the worst thing.

I believe Wookie was inferring that worrying about positivity is not the norm around here. ;)

No, I was implying that for Doug to consistently exude positivity, he must be on some sort medication, lol...

Don't read too much into it, Doug, I would have replied the same way no matter who said what you said...

I am telling you right now, this color commentator is gonna be very underwhelming. They gave us Calabro and now it's gonna be somebody you never heard of announced late for a reason. Gonna make us all want mike and mike back. Who the fuck is Lamar Hurd!?! and if he is a candidate, I would hate to see the others

I have no clue about him, but there are much bigger names that might be worse. I'm not as much concerned about the name as how good he is and how well he meshes with KC. All great ones must start somewhere as an unknown right?
