I dealt with him a few times many years ago. Definitely has a used car salesman type demeanor. Not a mean guy, but not the most genuine or approachable guy either. Not like Herzog.

Yeah...for some reason the guy comes off as a greaseball. I seem to notice my disdain for him more when we're losing though. Also I wondered how he ever got appointed to such a desirable postion as official commentor for the Redskins.

Thanks for the insight.
