Did anyone catch this guy's act this weekend? It was nothing short of brutal... perhaps i may of missed the inaugural broadcast of the bloke who did the commentary this past weekend but.... (sucks i never did catch his name), how is it the genius' at FSW didnt have the usual dude do commentary for the bundesliga (black guy with the nappie dreadies)? this new guy made me ears bleed... anyone else have any thoughts? does anyone watch the bundesliga anymore?> hahahahaaha
cheers

I thought he was quite good.

[kenntomasch]

FSW found somebody worse than Hopkins?

[SoFla Metro]

Is it by any chance the same guy who does their MLS broadcast?

[phishy]

good because he actually knew the players names? or good as in did a good job of commentary? bigtime difference... sounded like he was doing a game for the YMCA to me...

i dont think anyone can be worse than hopkins, the guy sounded like seamus malin.....i still do not know why they dont use toby.... he does the bundesliga wrap show.... it was a step up from hopkins, but still not very good. I honestly am still in shock that hopkins is still employed... he mumbles so much.. i cannot watch any game he commentates on it irritates me that much.

Yes, I notice the new voice.

However, he's not a new guy. He's simply Ridge Mahoney, one of the EPL commentators in the early days of Fox Sports World.

Simply, he's not good. I'm sorry - he's not good.

My first memory of Ridge with a microphone is as the sideline reporter for the 1998 USA/Brazil game. I haven't watched that game in a while.

I didn't see this last game but I have heard Ridge do German league games before.

He's very soft-spoken but I like listening to him. I think he does a good job. He's alweays been a color guy though and not in the booth alone - don't knwo if that was the case this week.
