Popular Post volman Posted January 11, 2015 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Wow, something has been in his sweet tea as of late. I would like to personally shake his hand for the homerism on the SportsSouth broadcast as of late. It is so exciting, and I like when my local broadcast roots for the good guys. I am not saying he rooted against the Hawks in the past, but he was always very neutral. I guess winning does a lot as well. Just loving everything all around! Go hawks 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go hawks He's always like this during playoff time. I'm glad that attitude has translated towards the regular season because it makes watching the game at home much more exciting. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Wretch Posted January 11, 2015 Premium Member Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Bob is a professional and does his homework, but he's always had a "stealth homerism" in the way he calls the games. I will say though that In recent years he's been a little more home friendly. This year, you can feel the excitement in his voice. Gotta remember though, he's been entrenched with this club for decades and has shared every bit of our hope, excitement, disappointment, and frustration. Personally, I don't want to see him shy away from what has made him such a good analyst all these years, but I'm happy that he has a front row seat to this greatness and is enjoying it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benhillboy Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) Listening to Bob I never even pondered that he was supposed to be neutral. The way this team is playing now it's impossible to be. All the years we've been referred to as irrelevant and mediocre by other teams' announcers we deserve for our announcer to get his happy on. I love Steve too though. I would guess theres no other radio guy in the league who airs out referrees like he does. He'll kill a guy before the game even starts.

buckeye242424 Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 I don't think it's hard to figure out. We actually have a decent team, and he's been our voice forever. A lot of time of calling losses. We're number one in the East... Kinda new! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member cam1218 Posted January 12, 2015 Premium Member Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 I have always felt like Bob has been a homer, which is great. I love listening to him call our games. I haven't really listened to much radio over the years, so I think of Bob instead of Holman when I think of Hawks broadcasters. Plus, it's hard not to have some excitement show when you are rolling like we are. Side note, does anybody remember when he used to call Braves games? He is 1000X better with basketball.

He is kind of a bitch on twitter though. I made one negative tweet about Ferry in the off season and he blocked me. Seriously, one tweet. lol But it's to be expected for a homer.
