Soulless Bastards

Who are you folks who are celebrating the stepping down of Loran Smith? Robots, clearly, who feel football on the radio must consist only of useful information. People who are embarrassed by their roots, perhaps. Folks who have had their senses of humor ground down into nothingness. It is a sad, sad day. I may be sadder about this than I was about Munson retiring, but it's hard to think of one without the other. The eternal pessimist and the eternal optimist.

Neither Loran nor Larry sounded like generic radio voiceover, unlike those others involved with the broadcast. They gave us a sense of place! Loran always seemed so damn likable. Stupid Janet Jackson's nipple made it nigh on impossible to listen to Munson while watching the TV broadcast. That's almost as sad as the retirements themselves!

There's an anonymous place in hell for those ABH commenters.
