Theeeee Kissssssssssssss

Straight Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan to maaaaaaaaaaaan


Best phrases ever. Forget Dickie V's.

He sounds exactly like that idiot who does the scorecards on HBO boxing

Edit: His name is Harold Lederman

Harold Lederman is the man. Larry Merchant is the one to hate.

But dont you agree Rafferty sounds like Lederman?

Yea dude's great. If theres tons of ball on at once, like is the case now, that's one of my determining factors on which game I'm going to watch is the commentators. Where's Len Elmore, Jay Bilas (who usually is teamed with Raftery or Vitale), Brad Daughertry, or Fran Frachilla?

Agreed. It's great listening to that guy in the final moments of a close game.

[ThaKing]

Bill Raftery is the man. He is good on the College basketball video games too.

So this is that dude who's always shouting phrases out of nowhere : He's great

[Dasher]

I agree, I dig Clark Kellog as well.

You know, for the past 2-3 years, I have really liked the way Bill Rafferty has called the games. And this year, he has really made listening to the games fun and interesting. I am still a Dickie V. fan, but I will give Bill his props, the dude is good.

Following are my favorite in order:

Len Elmore
Jay Bilas
Ian Eagle
Gus Johnson

I know I'm missing someone though Rafferty isn't really one of them. I don't mind him but sometimes he can be too stubborn. Elmore and Bilas are so articulate with their points, especially Elmore.

Brent Mussberger. That's who I forgot.
