I too disagree with Dan. I recall we had this similar view a few weeks back 
when it was first reported that Fox was getting all the Celts games?  I 
loved Cous as a player and admire him as a person and announcer. Just 
listen to the majority of other teams announcers and you will only 
appreciate BC all the more. As Dorine stated to each his own, but an 
acquaintance of mine who works for Fox Sportsnet phoned me to say that they 
have been flooded with E-Mails, Letters and Phone Calls in support of Bob. 
Granted alot of the response was  after articles were published in Boston , 
Hartford and Springfield papers but it shows how highly he is thought of in 
New England. I will watch all the games whether or not the Cous is employed 
but I pray they listen to the masses and rehire the legend. My heart will 
be all the better for it. Just my thoughts and YMMV.
