Never Forget: Ian Darke and McManamanaman Outtakes

Only negative from NBC picking up EPL coverage is the loss of these 2 gentlemen. Absolute class acts. With an acute, effortless handle on the game and the perfect, syrupy drop of British wit, these guys have made my Saturday mornings and Monday afternoons for the last few years. Never tried to "Americanize" their commentating, just a straight from the heart, passion-filled, this-is-who-we-are job from day one. Opened my eyes to the the impact that deft,quality commentating can have on one's enjoyment of a sports match. Can't imagine they'll be out of sight for long but for now, cheerio you bongly wongly redcoats. Gonna pour some dry gin out for ya.
