Tom Durkin: Erudite influences behind a celebrated voice
Quote:
A picture might be worth a thousand words, but if those words are coming from Tom Durkin, they command a far higher price.
Soporific. Obstreperous. Oracular. The kind of words that used to be called $10 words, SAT words, the kind of words that might get you a bemused look if you use them in conversation.
But when they come from the mouth of Tom Durkin, during an extemporaneous race call for which one can prepare only so much, the result is admiration, not confusion.
