Tom Leach hate is the GYERO Man hot take that I'll never understand. He isn't Don Fischer and he isn't Paul Rogers, but he's still very good and better than who most teams have doing play by play - just not Indiana and Louisville.
He also probably knows as well as anybody where the best steak in Lexington is. Or anywhere else. Or any other food, anywhere else.
Agreed. I like Leach, he's better for football but he does a good job, isnt super annoying, tells you what's going on, and I just don't see what else you want/need in a commentator.
My biggest concern with Leach is that he's going to have a heart attack on the air when he gets worked up(I'm serious), and that's going to be really traumatizing to hear someone die live on the air. Had to take some hazmat thing for volunteer firefighter training **** back when I first got out of school, and in it was a recording of a cop suffocating to death after inhaling some chemical coming from a truck accident because OMG he didn't look at the hazmat label and put on proper SCBA before rushing to help the guy driving who has also suffocated from inhaling the same chemicals. It was seriously F'ed up, and I still hear that poor guy struggling for air at times.
The same training gave me a large saw used to cut open triangle holes in houses to vent the smoke and let me go to town, with zero instruction other than the veteran guys laughing at me trying to get the fugger going.
I get why that had to be in there, but foch man, I'd say the giant house cutting saw just handed to me is a much larger threat to my health than some random *** chemical that a couple guys died from in Texas after a truck accident years ago. Makes me cringe just thinking about the noises dude was making. Eff whoever thought that was a good idea to include it, way overkill. I'd have rather found a body all cut up by Mexicans than listen to that ****.
