I will greatly miss Van Earl's booming delivery and informative as well as light hearted commentating style. He's made tough years with the Kings a little easier and who could ever put down the guy that dubbed the Red Wings as "those who wear the winged wheel"? I hope VEW returns to the Kings soon. With Foxy, Miller, Scully and the late Chick Hearn, we've had some greats, Van Earl added to that.

Bring back Tony! Van Earl has limited sports knowledge, is not funny, and just doesn't seem to have what it takes to make a great radio show.

A Freaking Zero. He is his own biggest fan. Get rid of him. The worse thing to happen to sports radio this year.

he's all right, probably does a better job than I could do. but Bruno was much better. better voice, better presence, as or more knowledgeable, funny, etc. Fox did a dumb job of canning Bruno. Not just my opinion.

I cannot believe this goon has a job on national radio. He is so awfull it is embarrassing to listen to him. I feel bad for Andrew having to deal with this clown. He is witless, knowledgeless, and it is tiring to hear him flub every other line. I don't listen anymore and if I happen to land on that channel and I hear his voice I can't turn it off fast enough. Fox, what are you thinking-you have cheapened what was once a good show.

VEW is H0RRIBLE. Especially compared to Tony Bruno, who was outstanding. Hey FOX: cheaper isn't always less expensive.

I guess when you sit in front of a teleprompter and deliver baritone auctioneer stylings it's almost tolerable. But on a 4 hour radio show where wit, insight and an ability to think on your feet are necessary, he fails miserably. Does anyone remember Ted Baxter?

Does anyone remember Joe Piscopo (sp?) on Saturday Night Live when he was the sportscaster on Weekend Update? Apparently, Wright saw that and decided that was the way to act. I'd call Wright a buffoon, but that would be an insult to buffoons.

It's a pity that negative numbers aren't allowed here - Van Earl Wright deserves it! Here is my favorite all-time quote about Van Earl Wright: I don't mind Madden, and Tim McCarver is one of my least favorite, but neither has anything on the local L.A. Fox Sports station. It features what has to be the most annoying man on TV: Van Earl Wright. I know I'm not alone in my sentiment... I can't watch ten seconds without wanting to commit hara-kiri with a dull kitchen knife. The linked article has a compelling theory to explain when and why sports news became so bad. (http://www.sportsfilter.com/comments.cfm/2389) About all I would add to that is, Ditto!

I think Van Earl is GREAT. His energy and his humor are amazing. I think his "act" is a wonderful relief from sportscasters that take themselves too seriously.

After all these years I still can't figure out why he talks like that. I thought it was a joke the first time I heard it, but then he kept doing it.

The first thing that comes top mind when I talk about Van Earl is energy. He brings this enthusiastic engergy to the studio, yelling the highlights, saying the names of players, and talking to his co-workers.
