Don't Mess With Tommy

Tommy Heinsohn is by far the absolute best (bias) announcer there is. He's very knowledgeable and lives for the green. He's also hysterical when It comes to blasting referees. So when I saw this quote by ESPN's J.A. Adande, I was not happy, screw you Adande, NO TOMMY POINT FOR YOU!

In 10 years as an NBA League Pass subscriber I’ve watched less than 10 minutes of the Celtics. That’s mainly because of the way Tommy Heinsohn’s voice hits my ear. To me it sounds like a garbage disposal when a fork drops into it.

But this year I’m going to have to check in with the Celtics on a regular basis. We all will. They matter again, thanks to the arrivals of Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen. Will the collaboration with Paul Pierce work? Will they take us back to the “Schoolhouse Rock” days and have us singing “Three is a magic number”? Will they take the Celtics back to the glory days?

I can’t wait to watch … with my finger on the mute button.

Quote found on Redsarmy.com

Here's a video from years back where Tommy goes insane a few times.

For all you Tommy fans, this is for you!
