Never was a big fan of old Ian…

… because (back in the day) he always did the Bills games.

Of course, it could be worse. I remember when they had Sam Rutigliano calling most of the Titan games.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Rutigliano

It was brutal, especially since his broadcast partner was also an ex-Browns guy, too.

Unfortunately, I can’t remember who exactly his old partner was. (Maybe Bob Trumpy?)

I had to stop arguing with drunks, Steeler fans, and all other fools.
It was making my brick wall jealous...
