Cummins was terrible.  I was up at WTOL Saturday night, running errands
and helping out, and before the game, one of the producers turned to me
and said, "Dan has no idea what he's doing....this is going to be a
fiasco."  He was right.  It was.  Cummins spent more time asking questions
than he did actually doing commentary.
 
But, hey, I'm not going to complain...at least they televised the game....
