To each his own, I guess I am in the minority when it comes to Mark Johnson because I thought he was very good. I really enjoyed his calls.

I'm one, that like with commentating/announcingin any sport, I want a guy that shows a little emotion and difference of tone in his calling.

I don't necessarily want Gus Johnson overkill, but Kevin Harlan is so awesome whennhe gets amped up.

Same for calling horse races.

I love Durkin because of his ability to bring some emotion and tone into his calls. Its also why I think Denman is overrated. He's not bad, but I like Durkin better for the reasons stated. Collmus is pretty good and wish him well.

Blasphemy to most people, but I love Paul Allen's race calls at CBY. A lot of people can't stand him, I love his calls.

I'm with a lot of people that I hope Vic gets the Monmouth gig if he wants it.

Who calls the summer weekend races at Gulfstream?
