I've been listening to Dave do color on the radio broadcasts since the mid-80s. So, maybe at this point I'm immune to the supposed grunts emanating from him. True, he's easily excitable and on big plays you do hear him him cheering in the background. But, that's the only negative thing I can think of about the guy, if that does bother you. He practically lives at the stadium and is constantly around the team, so he always has pertinent insider info about personnel changes, injuries, club news, etc. And, if you're hearing some anti-Bengal bias from the network talents, then I guarantee you will not hear that listening to Dan and Lap.
For me, the positives far outweigh the negatives in a Dan/Lap broadcast. But reading thread after thread here complaining about commentators, perhaps some here might best be served by turning down their tv and listening to smooth jazz during the game.
