I don't think it is any accident that Tommy's new found objectivity 
coincides with Cousy's near absence from the airwaves.  I think they were 
playing good cop/bad cop before.  I think that either Tommy has conciously 
taken it upon himself to, or perhaps FSNE has suggested that he might be a 
little more critical in his commentary.

Tommy: "He travelled!"
Mike: "He really did."
Tommy: "That was an AWFUL call!"
Mike: "It reheheally was."

Has anyone noticed Gorman's pronunciation of the word "alright"?  "Ahhight, 
it's time for the opening tap."  It wouldn't bother me so much if he didn't 
say it a hundred times a game.
