Yep. When he said that his role to be positive abd hype up the game 100% of the time it helped explain why he seemed a better commentator on Ch 9 in the mid-00s.He was pretty enjoyable. The interesting bit for me was when he basically said my brief at Fox is to be as annoying a campaigner as possible.
It's not that that he gets excited during calls that's the problem, it's that its fake and manufactured to provide hype that the viewing audience didn't ask for.
