Roxy Bernstein & Stephen Bardo

Bernstein is super vanilla but I will take it. Nice to hear Bardo doing a GU telecast. Get your 'Bardo Bingo' card ready:

1) Crazy 'Bardo's Best in the West' listing of some teams
2) "We gotta check his blood pressure because he has nothing but heart this evening."
3) "[Player's name] throwing up a heat check."
4) "Walking amongst the trees."

There are more but can't think of them right now.

I may be biased but I think Bardo is a good color analyst and calls the game as he sees it. I don't notice him being a homer when he calls Illinois games.

[ZagMan in Philly]

"Here come the ZAGS, Pangos, 5 seconds, drives, runner, got it..........ball game"
That was pretty good call.

That's racist.

I'm an uncle to a Roxy. She's a pomapoo.

Awesome. I love Bardo!

[Zagpower]

Missed That Guy

Awesome. I love Bardo!

+1.


And he gets to work a game between his two favorites. Good for him.


I've never met Bardo, but on tv he comes across as one of the really nice guys in the industry.

Bardo loves the Zags, too.

This. I love Bardo. He's good no matter what two teams are on the floor.

I like these guys. Bardo IS better than Simon.

I still wish Bardo did WCC games. Great combination of analysis and style.
