I used to watch his TV show and I couldn't stand him. I don't like being talked down to by a guy with no discernable talent.

the radio show is not like the tv show. the callers are the silliness between the his interviews, which are usually good.
i can get a laugh from the silliness and "i didn't know that" from the interviews.
VJS has to be a "clone" to make that race call friday night.

I'm with you here. Wasn't the slightest bit interested during the "Chris Everett" days. Then a few years ago, moved to Jacksonville, away from Mike and the Mad Dog, and had no choice but to listen. It took a while, but I finally got it. He's actually changed alot and is definitely not what his reputation indicates. He covers many touching and heart-warming sports stories, and does it the right way. The "smack" stuff in only a part of what he's about, and even that grows on you after a while.

I will.

He may have grown up.
He just seemed so full of himself.

The callers used to be horrible though.
Of course one can turn it off during that segment.

Get Sirius. The cost is equal to feeding a starving African kid.

I think he has gotten a lot better. At the time that video was made, I don't think he was capable of having some empathy for others, and now he seems to(or atleast he has learned to act that way.) Some of the stuff he talks about though are really odd. I don't hear him on the radio anymore, but occasionally I see him on ESPN. The other day, he was talking about the new coach of UCLA Football. Rick Neuheisel was auctioning something off for charity,and it wasn't selling (or for not much.) He offered to allow the buyer to call the 1st offensive play against USC. I don't know why that's important to ROME to bring up. Does a national audience really care about that?

FYI

Vic had knee surgery today. I believe it was for a torn meniscus.
Hopefully he will be back on Wednesday.

Get well soon VJS

Just got home. Feeling a little sore and groggy. Doc said everything went fine. Thanks for the good thoughts. Looking OK for being back on Wed. If not Frank Miramahdi warming up in the bullpen.

Does Frank do a good Vic racecall? I'm sure he does. He could do "you" the whole card and you can stay home and sip Margarita's on the couch and heal up.

I liked Vic's call in the Round Table, when he said they were going along a pretty quick clip...and then he noticed they were going 25.60 and said well they are not going that quick...you can hear the chuckle in his voice while he said that.

Frank's a strong mimic. You figure by now he'd work the Peter Griffin. He could make some serious $$$ with that one.

Heal well Vic.....Ice Ice and more Ice with elevation is so simple but the best thing you can do to accelerate the healing. Good Luck with your recovery...
