April 6, 200619 yr Singleton should not be allowed to do PBP at all, but I think he's a fine color man and has some good points to make. Unfortunately his career has been so recent and short that he doesn't bring much new to the broadcast. At least DJ could talk about Japan with Shingo and Iguchi. Has anyone noticed that they have a tendency to talk through a play? Sometimes they sound like Santo and Hughes, and it's really painful to say that. It isn't all the time, and maybe it's because Singleton is still learning, but it bothers me. All that said, if Farmer were a better PBP guy, Singleton wouldn't sound bad at all.

They stumble on and on like Hawk and DJ about some stupid story instead of describing the game action. It's okay for Hawk and DJ to do it because you can still actually see the game on TV. You can't do that sort of crap on the radio. Stop the story, fill us in on the game, and get back to the stupid story when there is a suitable break in the action. It's like a couple of college kids trying to cover a game -- very amateurish broadcast.
