    1. Exactly.

      Only other fellow media hacks could think that Shank deserves any kind of award at this point in his not-so-illustrious career.

  4. If I’m Gammons, I pretend I’m having a stroke in the john and then drain the weasel on The CHB’s leg.

    I’m sure it wouldn’t be the first time someone laid the green stream on the douche.

  5. How about some props for George Commo, the longtime voice of Norwich University hockey (among his many broadcasting jobs). This is the eighth time he’s been named Vermont Sportscaster of the Year. I’ve been privileged to meet George on a few occasions, and he is definitely one of the good guys in the business.
