A South Bendover POS.
Wholeheartedly agree. Ave play by play guy at best to boot. He whines half the time. I often watch Warriors with sound off.
Fitz's problem with Ws games is that he is too much of a homer. He has the skills and knowledge to be a good PbP announcer - perhaps he feels he has to pimp for the home team to keep the job (that is the case, I've heard, for many announcers). Recall what happened to Larry Krueger when he criticized brain dead Giants hitters (which was a completely fair criticism at the time, imo). And Krueger wasn't even a Giants employee, but rather an employee of the station carrying the Giants.
Barnett is terrific as a color guy on Ws hoops.
Papa is a great announcer who can do all sports . . . think Bill King. He handles in-game and post-game duties with aplomb.
(Don't care too much for his juvenile antics with his KNBR sidekick, Lund, but that's an easy fix: just don't listen to them).
