    Tenacious D The law is of supreme importance, or no importance

    If that’s the case, and I agree that it is, then give me 2-4 guys who are at least entertaining to listen to, or don’t do radio, at all.

    Kesling is neither technically proficient nor entertaining. Worse, he’s been terrible from the outset and hasn’t significantly improved, despite damned near 20 years of doing it. I’d like to think that I could improve at just about anything, if given 20 years to practice it.

    He not only foregoes the preeminent importance of providing tangibly information during each play, but instead replaces it with what amounts to nothing more than bantering jibberish and sputtered sentence fragments and which are unhelpful at best, and actually more confusing, at worst.

    I’m sure he’s a very nice guy, probably does a lot of things well, and which I don’t see or can appreciate. I don’t personally dislike the guy, but he is terrible as a play-by-play radio announcer in calling football games.

    Here is the highlight reel from the USC game. Hit play, and then turn away from the screen....and tell me what you know about each play, if only listening. In the first several plays alone, count how many times he mentions where shit is happening, or gives any inkling as to where the play has happened or has progressed as it relates to the field...or spacing...or direction....and which is, in my humble opinion, kind of the whole [uck fay]ing point.

    kesling is the original jinx and is the worst play by play man in sports. I had to listen for a couple minutes Saturday. "3rd and 11 from their own 19, Tennessee looking for a stop. Helinski fires, Its caught? What a catch. Touchdown South Carolina". Nothing like an 81 yard pass in 3 seconds for a td.

    Exactly.

    “Jennings lined up left...Calloway at the top of the screen....Shrout digs his left foot into the turf....Tim, you know that this field has been in excellent shape all season....I think it’s a fescue blend....Ty Chandler comes in motion....Wanya Morris seems to be favoring that left thumb....ball is snapped....Tim, that previous kick looked off from the moment it left his foot...looking for a long pass...could be setting up the screen to Pope....Tennessee has had some success with that this season....boy, you’d really like to see Tennessee put some points on the board, here.....Calloway probably broke that route off before Shrout expected it...heavy rush surrounding Shrout now....(crowd obviously erupts)...looking, looking....Brandon Kennedy really snapped that ball back there, Tim....TY CHANDLER TOTHACHEGGERBOARD!”

    There'd be so many beeps, everyone would assume it was an amateur HAM radio operator practicing his morse code.
