I thought he would annoy me a lot more than he has. After listening to him on the radio early on in his career and not much since then, I was really skeptical. But other than the critique I provided above, I think he's doing a really good job. He's always been fairly solid on Xs and Os and that remains the case. He also works well with Greg, which is not super easy to do as Greg can dominate an entire broadcast (not a criticism there, just something he is able to do if the color commentator is not filling the gaps).
