Has any Bull's fan ever noticed that the Neil Funk/Stacy King Comcast broadcasting team is not working, like at all?
Having watched every game last year on CSN I feel compelled to comment on the state of their affairs.
Funk is old school. He call's the games as he sees them and tries to keep it simple.
King is a former NBA flop who I enjoy listening to. His "quirky" language and street-ball terminology bring a much needed creative presence to the booth.
The problem is, the aforementioned styles do not compliment each other.
All to often Funk will provide a bland description of an event only for King to over-whelm him with some slang (Kaboom! etc).
Funk would be much better off with ESPN 1000 Bulls radio color man Bill Wennington. Wennington's bland style and total lack of imagination go nicely with Funk's sandpaper personality and overall dry demeanor.
This switch would create a dream-team paring of ESPN 1000 announcer Chuck Swirsky and Stacey King.
Swirsky's zingers (onions, baby) would finally get some respect from a man who can dish them out just as smoothly.
Lets face it, Wennington doesn't know what he's doing and Funk seems like he would prefer someone to match his own pace.
Chicago Bulls, I urge you to heed my recommendation.
