You freaking read my mind. Brandy on color was pure gold.

Agreed.
They/them, non-binary and proud.
Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.
Audacity sucks.

Doug's voice is screechy and sounds like a chipmunk or nails on a chalkboard at times. I agree.
His ability to describe the action on the field fluently is excellent but his voice ruins that.
I wish U-M would stop settling for mediocre broadcasters.

There are plenty of competent sports broadcasters with voices that sound decent on radio out there.
