Fanta and Donny

[UConn Esq]

My wife who tends to read during the games and keep one eye on it absolutely could not stand them. She continually asked me "do these two guys just not like each other?"

 

[imno1]

Who else can we insult and complain about? I don‘t have much going on today

 

[ClifSpliffy]

Sure but the man knows his Big east bball. Get used to him bc he will be around for a while

'Get used to him,'
no. and u can't make me.
so there, and sew buttons on ur underwear.
not really sure what that means. i don't wear underwear much.
i'll bet tho, that he is a whiz at fanta-see leagues. all that settin around the bunker, with jugs of coca-cola and bowls of skittles has to be good for something. brain food, i guess.
mute!

I personally will not stand for the Fanta slander

 

[Kembacity]

Did anyone else think they were brutal tonight? Donny might’ve brought up the kids hair and Hurleys sage 14 times, like it was the funniest joke he ever told. Fanta just didn’t contribute much, seemed to lean into whatever Donny was saying, he usually has some insight into the programs he’s covering. Warm up game for them too?

Wow I thought they were great honestly, Donny wasn’t doing his contrarian POV too much like he usually does when he pretends he isn’t an alum. Yeah they hit a few things over and over again, but how much fresh stand up material do you think these guys have for each game?

 

[Spaceman213J]

Everytime they show Fanta I think "Josh Gaad is now a sports announcer?"

My dad muted it for a while when they kept talking about hair. I was waiting for the NESN Remy/Orsillo 'Inane Banter' warning.

Still, I know some people here love him, but I'd rather listen to Marshall/Fanta than Walton any day.

 

[BattersonBoyz]

Nope- I have bumped into by accident games he's calling and he is the worst to listen to.

Ok

Great same pair for little friars and Rider.

I'll be honest, I think Donny is brutal more than half the time.

 

[WNConn]

Donny is usually brutal in games I’ve watched

 

[mrl2016]

Donny trying to claim ownership over the Joey California name tonight was painful to listen to

 

[MrSec238]

I dont know why but it annoyed the hell out of me that Fanta kept calling them “Boston”

No its BU..thats even easier to say.

Was he in a van down by the river?

Because anyone ever associated with the school refers to it as BU and never "Boston". A guy that lives in New England should know this. Poor craftsmanship by Fanta.

 

[willie99]

I put a lot of games on ignore

Then again, I even put the news on ignore so that's nothing new for me

 

[August_West]

I thought they were way better than the stonehill game

They provide a nice counter-balance to the chat room...

great memory.
warm and sultry midweek summer day, just lazin and walkin around Essex with then gf, teachin that one how to chillax. didn't work. she always wanted to be somewhere, be something.
cruise on down to the pier, watch the ducks and geese doin the backstroke. nuthin goin on -perfect! then, we slide on up near the gris as we see a bit of a commotion. not yuge, just a bit more energy than anywhere else. we walk in.
some kind of senior 3 piece jazz band with someone else on the keyboards. wait! it's billy joel! hot dang! (he kept a boat there. don't know if he still does.) he plays this, and the crowd, all 50 of us, go wild.
i think i saw some folks tapping their canes. the ones with the boaty hats.
i clearly remember him tellin the band continually 'keep it simple.'
we had seen him in NY not too long previous and gf sez 'this is way better, way better....
nice man. for a while, he seemed regular around Essex, sometimes Saybrook. the marinas, machine shops, boat parts stores, food places.
now, we got hole paycheck taking over the Bennies (fishin stuff, good prices! tires too!).
it's the end of civilization around here.
how many rents walked into Bennies to get a new battery for the rider, and walked out with a new bike for their kid? kayak? pool float?
that place always smelled of chlorine. noice.
