Sexton was an icon (as he is an integral part of Jaguar history.)  Kouvaris thinks he's an icon.  Frangie won't be an icon.

 

No one is going to like everyone.

 

Like him or not, the sound is different without Sexton, and not in a good way.  He and Lageman had a good radio "balance," and now it's unfortunately gone.  The rapport clearly isn't there with the new crew.  Maybe it will come in time, but maybe not.  PBP has to be natural, without getting in the way.  Frangie came off frantic and tense, which had the opposite effect.

 

OTOH, I thought the TV brodcast was as good as it's ever been, perhaps the best it's been.  My only gripe there is that both Brunell and Kouvaris have more of a golf match, laid back approach.  Most of the time you don't have two similar personalities, there's usually an off-setting or balanced lineup with one wildcard, colorful character mixed in.

 

That being said, do we really want sideshow characters screaming about unicorns and show ponies?  or a Gruden who can't stop talking about how he "loves the guy!."

 

They aren't that, and there isn't necessarily anything wrong with that.
