Good god he is pretty bad. Thank goodness ESPN does not put him on better games

I bet he will improve. He's great on the set. I like that they are giving him a shot.

Has he ever been in the booth before for ESPN?

I love him on set. Started out shaky as hell but love him now. At first he seemed to be really stiff and IMO kept his opinions way too conservative/noncontroversial. I knew he had arrived the day he gave Finebaum the business on national TV.
Is this his first year in the booth? Goodness gracious he sounds dead! That's not like him at all. He's basically whispering stats and shite in a monotone voice.

Just boring in every aspect. Desmond Howard, NIU post Jordan Lynch, MACtion as a whole this year.

He struggles to talk nonebonically. Rather him talk normally than force the annunciations on everything. Still better than mussberger

It's pretty awkward to listen to, there are a lot of pauses and desmond sometimes sounds like he's a few feet away from the mike

Why is he talking so quietly? It's like he thinks he's calling a tennis match or golf.

Besides Fowler, Desmond is my clear favorite on ESPN Gameday. I actually think he has good, well thought out opinions and he has a likable personality.
Took him a year to get comfortable being himself though.

It seems like ESPN is letting more and more of their TV personalities call games. Hasn't Chris Fowler essentially replaced Brent Musberger as their game of the week play-by-play guy?
