Quote:I agree that Brian Sexton’s style is incredibly grating.  I absolutely can’t stand the way he gets so hyped up and hollers about a touchdown in garbage time, when the Jags are being beaten 24 – 7.   Having said that, I don’t wish the guy ill . . I just wish he’d stop doing that one particular thing.  As for Lages, I love the dude.  His insight and colour analysis is really enjoyable.

 

To be honest, I miss Cole Pepper being in the mix.  He was waaaaay better for Jags shows that Prisco.

 

Based on these two posts, there's nothing Sexton can do to satisfy everyone.  You say he hypes up good moments even in a blowout, but then we have this:

 

Quote:I've never liked Sexton.  He is just bland, bland, bland.  He can come off as a bit of an elitist at times too.  It would be nice to get someone with a little more personality and a more distinctive vocal style.

 

He's too bland but overly hyped.  Interesting combination.

 

In reality, I'm fairly indifferent on Sexton. I've been listening to him for 20 years, and he is the voice of the Jaguars.  If they were to change things up, it would be a shame.  Brian is a good guy.  He does a lot in the community, and I think he has indeed developed a distinctive style that is unique to this team.  He can't help it that the product on the field the past few years is garbage.  There are times over the past few seasons where you could hear the frustration in his voice during the broadcast because the team has been so bad. 

 

Oddly enough, nobody was complaining about him when the team was doing well. 

 

I've never gotten the sense he's "elitist" at all.  If you've ever met the guy, you'd realize the exact opposite.
