Tony Luftman's tie knot

If Joltin' Mike Holton can take an unnecessary public beating on this forum, then so can Tony Luftman.  By no means am I a fashionista--nor do I want to be--but Tony Luftman's tie knot looks as though it belongs around the neck of Andre the Giant - or Kevin Duckworth, for that matter.

It looks like he's resting an apple on his chest plate.

With each show, it grows more than Holton's arsenal of sharp-tongued witticisms.

Anyhow, I thought I'd break up the monotony of the Thursday with a light-hearted request...

...take the tie knot down a few notches, Tony.

Thanks.

If only one of the studio guys left,
Who would you give the boot? I would kick out Tony.

Tony for sure...
Sorry, Tony - no one parallels the hilarity of Michael Holton.

Is Tony the white guy?
He's soooooo hard to watch. I'm still trying to figure out how he got hired.......he must've been the only person to apply.

I don't get it...
I like 'em both and find them entertaining.  They're upbeat, make me laugh once in a while.  What do you want from these guys or what is the specific beef?

They act like dorks.
And since the team is doing well, some on here just like to have a little fun. I am with you Ramsey, I do not really care about announcers as much as the other 95% of sports fans. I can always turn it down or read a book when the game isn't on.
Hate the game, not the player.

Their so corny
it's hard to watch. Every joke is forced and they seem like they cut their teeth on low budget, public access tv.

Whoa
I'm just making light of his massive tie knot - it's a slow day...are we allowed to laugh on here?

I decided I like him but he needs work.
I like him cause he's a nice guy. No ego to feed. I like his enthusiasm and you know the guy is trying. I think he just needs more experience.

But he has to learn to:

  1. stop echoing back to Holton the joke Holton just said. No one wants to hear the same joke twice, or even less listen to someone analyze and talk about it three times longer than it took to say it. Just enjoy the joke and move on.  Have you ever seen someone in a comedy skit turn to the audience after a punch line and say "wow that was really funny. blah blah blah". No they don't.

  2. stop stating the obvious generalities we all already know.  "The Amazing Blazers are just Amazing. Amazingly playing Amazing games with an amazing performance as this amazing seg-way soaks up 10 seconds of pure crap before I finally dish it off to one of the three Amazing Mike's."  Then I either unplug my ears or stop cringing like when someone rakes their finger nails across a black-board, amazingly enough.

That Rebeca on the on other hand:
is both eye candy and brains enough to give us what we want, Blazers talking.

BTW: Who do they work for?
the Trailblazers or comcastsports.net?
