I'll really miss Gary Thorne, but the others honestly not much. I know Gary made some blatant miscues, but his voice and his personality made up for it. I'm glad McDonald is back, I enjoy his commentary. I think Garceau and Palmer will be a good combo. I'm giving the new announcers more time before I can really say, it was such a weird year last year. Glad Dempsey and Brob will still be around though. Dempsey was a homer and I get that, but some of his takes were outrageous at times. I also noticed the last few years Tom Davis became super condescending on the post game radio shows, saying things like "What the fans don't get" and "what I wish the fans would understand" about things that he was obviously wrong about. My co-workers and I would talk about it all the time. Dave Johnson always sounded like he had 3 Lifesavers in his mouth. Mike Bordick was a great guy, but his forced enthusiasm got old quickly. To me Jim Hunter was insufferable. I just felt like he suffered from the Dunning-Kruger effect. Google it, you'll see his picture. As an aside, one of my favorite memories was when Pat Sajak was doing the post game show on the radio with Dave Johnson and Tom Davis. They got to the portion where they would look through the Mars circular. I was laughing so hard in my car as Pat Sajak was slowly wondering what the hell he was doing there as they made him select his top 3 favorite items on sale that week, followed by Dave Johnson telling stories about dropping ice cream off at his mom's house and Tom Davis talking about how great a deal it was for all these different types of chips/snacks.
