Gus Johnson Leaves CBS Sports

[X-band '01]

Biggest buzzkill for the 2012 NCAA Tournament so far:

Awful Announcing Link (http://www.awfulannouncing.com/2011-articles/may/breaking-news-gus-johnson-done-with-cbs.html)

About the only way you'll hear him calling the NCAA Tournament is if he somehow lands a gig with Turner Sports; I wonder if he'd be interested in doing NBA games with them. He has done games for the Knicks on MSG in the past.

Looks like Gus Johnson and CBS have parted ways. I always enjoyed Johnson, and thought he was usually well prepard. Will be interesting if ESPN makes him an offer.

There's only one thing to do: sign him up as FSN Ohio's newest announcer. :logo:

Honestly, I'm not a big fan of Gus anymore. I liked him a lot before he got huge, but after he got huge I felt like he was just trying to hard to do his "shtick." It got old pretty fast.

Don't know why X fans are freaking out. We are like 2-5 in tourney games he announces

Worst day ever.

His "Bautista with the caaaaaaatch" call in a Gonzaga game a few years ago was awful.
