From an earlier discussion today, I really like Paul Allen. His main criticism is that he likes the home team a little too much, and I suspect for a couple of the controversies he's been involved in that left a lasting mark. I loved Harry Caray precisely because he was such a homer, with a distinctive voice, that wasn't afraid to say what he thought. It's the same thing I love about Paul Allen.

Ive tried over the years...I just cant warm to the guy and wont listen to him any more.

Its like that for me with Mike Max on CCO sports tv. Just rubs me the wrong way.

There's always a certain portion of a fan base that won't like a guy. I don't like Boog Sciambi for the Cubs because he isn't enough of a homer. I trust your reasons for not liking him are genuine. I just think he's generally well-liked by the fan base overall.

Not a radio announcer, but I tire with the radio broadcasters on kfan that come from other cities, probably aren't fans of sports, and are generally trying to be more controversial than supportive of your fandom
