Fyffe was great, though. Like Munson and Ward. There aren't any left like that. Passionate homers but not homers in a whiney way, homers who loved the school and would call them out if they were playing like dog shite. The best of radio.

Yep. It's what copy cats get wrong today. They get all the "we"/"us" stuff, but when things go bad they want to blame it on refs or get defensive.
Munson had no problem telling the folks at home that the Dawgs were sleepwalking or playing like crap. It made him as mad as it made the guy in the upper deck seats, and he wasn't about to let them off the hook by blaming a ref.
Skip Carey was the same way with the Braves. Steve Holman is about the only one still kickin' today who does it that way (Hawks basketball radio play-by-play).
