Dickey Simpkins

Every time he does our game we kick butt...so he should do every game.

I believe we are 3-0 in games he's called.

I thought he was very entertaining last night.

Alot of the stuff Simpkins says reminds me of Will Ferrel's line in Kanye/Jay-z-****** in Paris. "Nobody knows what it means, but its provacative, it gets the people goin!"

I liked him. I thought just the visual of him and that geeky white kid doing the play-by-play was pure comedy. I'd be happy to have this tandem again on the tier iii type of games.

Simpkins could be the American Alan Partridge. "Boof. Eat my goal."

handing out movie tickets was almost on the same level as sending evites to the block party. good thing both lines happened within 1-2 minutes of each other. i was rolling on the floor.

He reminded me of the days when John Thompson did play by play...and not very good at it.

A million times better than Thompson who is probably the WORST EVER.

If one of Thompson's players ever performed as horribly as Thompson does behind the the mic, the player would be tossed off the team. He showed no respect for the craft, the sport, himself and certainly not the fans. Just inane, prattling, cliche-addled nonsense.

And I don't say that just because I detest him. If he was good I'd have to admit it despite my profound detestation.

As for Simpkins...he's trying. A little too hard, perhaps. But he's working at it. Some original humorous phrase turns...and a little insight.
Not as sharp an analyst as more experienced guys like Bilas & Elmore & Gottlieb. But he's trying...and at least he's not a "tune out" factor..

I enjoyed listening to him. All of his one-liners were funny. Only thing that got old was his overuse of the term "block party". Otherwise, was very entertaining.

I like Dicky Simpson and his use of double negatives amongst other misuses of the Queen's language. Honest entertainment !!

So I'm guessing that Syrfan is a little behind on RIM standards...

We have a Dickie Simpsons thread? Is there a Kevin Pittsnogle thread that I’m unaware of as well?
