I tried listening to WBBM last night, but I just don't connect with these two the way I do other announcers. I've got
serious issues with Tom Thayer and his John Madden approach to game analysis, I don't hear anything that I can't picture
in my head. While I don't jibe with Joniak's vocal style, I think it's the ridiculous amount of sponsorship that gets
plugged during each game that I find unlistenable. You hear it in each sport, but it just seems so distracting with the
Bears broadcasts. You won't find me watching TV while listening to the radio sound like WBBM promotes!
