Hoard and Lapham come off as such a bizarre duo that it almost seems like a comedy skit more than reality. You have this spindly play-by-play guy with his nerdy voice trying to explain what is going on while this former player bellows and grunts in reaction to what is happening on the field and you're trying to gauge what is happening based upon the tone of Lap's grunts because you can't hear the actual play-by-play. Just listening to them without having a visual cue is pretty difficult at times.
Burrow back to pass
*OAAAOUUUUGHH!!!!!!* (I think this means he avoided some sort of pressure)
Takes a deep shot!
*AAAARHHHHHHGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!* (I think that is a good grunt?)
...and the ball is........
OOOOOOOOOOOGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
.....end zone for the touchdown!
WOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Good on Lap for still having that fire, but the guy reminds me of when they bring a celebrity fan in who isn't accustomed to the whole play by play process who gets wrapped up in fandom and starts screaming GO GO GO etc. during the broadcast around a live mic.
