It's called the Jim Hawthorne syndrome.

I was kinda wondering if I was missing something. Good, not just me.

Rollins is in that bunch that I've never been able to stomach. (Right there with Kevin Ford and Bill Wagy from old WGSO) Have to turn the station immediately when I hear Rollins.

In his defense I always want to call Leon “LaRon”.

He was thinking about Chad Jones when he said that.

I don’t know - I think he is tougher than a green pine cone.

He's hotter than a Rolex in a pawn shop. I don't really mind him - he has a good rapport with Ben.

At least They didn't spend an entire half inning talking about love handles.

Lynn is much better suited to calling low-minor league baseball, like he did with the Alexandria Aces back in the nineties.

I am not a big Lyn fan, but CST/ESPN has to get some more people to commentate. Lyn does Men's Basketball, Women's Basketball, Baseball, Softball, and Gymnastics. If you think Baseball is bad, then try listening to him during Gymnastics.

I appreciate that he is doing everything possible, but I know if he could be limited to one or two sports and get some others in there, it could be better. I do not mind him as much in Softball with Yvette Girouard because they both say some off the wall stuff, but this weekend with Baseball was rough.

That might be one of the 5 best things I've ever heard a broadcaster say.

Lynn Rollins is unbearable.

If it's my only option, I'll just listen to music and imagine what the broadcast is saying. He's that bad.

The metaphors are funny. They aren't close to enough to make up for the rest of his performance.

What does he use his pucker up catch phrase for in gymnastics?

Man his sayings kill me, it is embarrassing but amusing at the same time. I dont know how he comes up with some of it and Ben just eggs it on to make him say it seems like
