He tries to amuse himself. I use to dislike Packer but Rafferty just gets on my nerves.
Neverending "Look how clever I am". Let's see how much basketball slang I can put in one sentence. Loose change, rock, dimes.

the best duo are probably nance and kellogg.

i also like gus johnson and len elmore. imo, they are the perfect compliment. gus is energetic and len can reign him in with more conservative commentary

I can do without him also. "The Big Fella Throwing It Down" just doesn' do it anymore. What the hell is nickel dimer anyway. I have played High School, Church, Intramurial and Street Baskeball and not once mind you have I ever heard some sum bitch say nickel dimer. Must be a Northern thing.

It's what I figured. Strong feelings either way. Nothing like the hatred for Billy Packer. Most people were against Packer when he left.

The saxophone work reminds of the great Chicago. Nice soft rock, not elevator music, nor Nirvana or Motley crue, Doors, AC-DC hard. The kind of music your parents or grand-parents could enjoy with you.

RAFFERTY IS GOOD !

There are very few things in this world that bother me but Rafferty is one of them. He is so bad I just can't explain how much he grates on my nerves. From the time I see his annoying face on TV to the first time he says "and the kiss!" I simply cannot take it. I always end up muting it.

Same with the duo in college football of those 2 guys I forget their names but one is about 80 years old and weighs about 300 pounds at 5-5 I think. I swear I think he is watching another game on TV and just for fun he announces that game instead of the one he is supposed to. I cannot fathom how many mistakes he makes a game. Mistakes that are so blatantly wrong. His partner is almost as bad. I think they do afternoon CBS college football games. Combined they make about 30-50 horribly wrong calls a game. Just one that comes to mind is that he called the ball intercepted and the guy was running the other way with nobody back to stop him! What really happened was a blown coverage and a WR got wide open in the endzone so there was just a 40 yard lob for a TD. No defensive player around him within 20 yards. How do you miss that and then think it was intercepted when nobody is running the other way? I mute them too usually unless we have people over.

And these announcers need to get a bit more technical with their announcing. I don't want to hear 20 times that Isaiah Thomas' dad just watched the good play he made because he is there in the stands watching his son.
