     Rose has kind of disappointed me.  I really thought he would be a lot better than he is in the football booth.  As I said before I believe he is solid in the baseball booth.  I don't know if I would go so far as to call him a "disaster", though.  :-)

     Kugler is pretty good but I, personally, have never heard him do football.
