Personality means something to me. That is exactly why I like Clement
(and Emrick). On the other hand, JD is a pompous, bull-headed, arrogant
know-it-all. He's a real turn-off (which is exactly what I do when he's
on). One complaint I do have about Clement is that he sometimes talks
too much. If I wanted that I'd listen to Tim McGarver doing a baseball
game.
