I don't even knock Denman for his mistakes in calling the BC last year, but Durkin captures the moment and brings emotion into it. Denman is too mono-toned for me. It's the way it is in all sports braodcasting for me. Give me the announcer that can gimme a little emotion wi8th an accurate call. The truly talented guys are the guys that canput emotion into it but still be accurate. It doesn't have to be one or the other.
it's a shame tho that he could get a waiver to call the belmont, but not the bc...but the next time the bc is at belmont--who will call it????
