If you watch Channel 7 Boston sports, you'll see a new sports reporter -- Larry Ridley. Larry is driving me crazy with his colloquialisms. The most irritating one for me is his constant referral to the Beverly Hillbillies song ' there once was a man named Jed" when talking about Jed Lowrie.
It's as if Chris Berman from ESPN was reincarnated with his nicknames for all of the football players in the NFL on his 2 minute summary of games. Can we just get a normal summary without all the ad lib??
I like Steve Burton & Dan Roche from Channel 4 WBZ. I watch Mike Lynch & Mike Downing on Channel 5 for the Patriots weekly show. Joe Amorosino on Channel 7 is OK to me as well.
I think Larry is trying too hard to be too original or too unique, however you desctribe it. Simple is better for me, Larry.
