I get it over the airwaves aome 200 miles away, and it’s just awful,

They fired most of the senior “overage, overpaid, overqualified” announcers, including the extremely talented former Warrior Tom Tolbert, so they could hire kids (cheap, cheap, cheap) with no life stories to tell beyond their high school idiot adventures. One is the son of their star announcer (no nepotism here) and others are also former interns. What a shitshow.

THE POSTGAME LEADER.

I had to follow the Warriors on espn online, because the complete morons there lost the Warriors to another station that must be putting out 20 or 30 watts of power.

Losers catering to losers.
