Well that's the thing about announcers.

Very subjective. No right or wrong. Just opinion.

I remember when I used to live and die when reading whether people liked my work or not.

I was cured from that in 1994.

Back in the day the DRF had letters to the editor.

When Tom Durkin was hired at Gulfstream to replace Ross Morton (RIP). A guy wrote a scathing letter saying how could GP hire a hack like Durkin over the greatest announcer ever? Ross.

And he was very passionate!!

No knock on Ross he was a good friend and did a fine job. But Durkin!!

IMO the best that ever lived and it's not even close.

Right then and there I was cured from worrying about what people said.

Some are going to like you. Some not.

Some people like Frank Sinatra. Other's think he sucks and Prince was the greatest ever.
