I would have suggested McDonough myself, except that the Disney/ABC/ESPN
troika would never hire a person whose primary employment is currently with
the CBS network.
 
The favorable thing is what you mentioned about NESN.  I liked how he
stretched out the home town name of current WBZ radio color man for the
Boston Bruins, their former defenseman and Maine graduate Bob Beers.  I
think he may have been the broadcaster who made Cheektowaga NY famous
whenever he did a Maine game.
 
However, I will not forgive his dad for his constant screeds against Shawn
Walsh, while he let BC and UMass off more easily although having much more
questionable violations.
