Well that doesn't make a lot of sense.  Putting Gus Johnson in the same class as beer, strippers, and america is crazy.  That's like saying if you don't like Richard Simmons you don't love beer, strippers, and america.  They are both annoying.

Gus Johnson has no real emotional attachment to any game he calls, he is one of the fakest commentators out there - if not the fakest.  He attempts to make every single freakin play sound as if it's the most exciting thing to ever happen, when you know it's just a schtick.

If you were a Knicks fan and had to listen to him every single game when they sucked you would understand.  There is nothing more annoying then someone trying to make the game seem exciting in the 4th quarter with 1:30 mins left and the Knicks are down by 17 points.  All of a sudden Marbury would drive to the basket to pump up his stats and there would be Gus Johnson, "Marbury SCORES, what a drive to the basket (even though nobody was guarding him at that point), he is one of the greatest PG's we have ever seen".
