What do you mean? It's not like he's been doing televised X-Games announcing for the last decade.

YESSSSSS!!! It's pretty awesome that NS essentially decided the announcer for the Olympics. That's a decent accomplishment.

Yeee. Skiing always needs more Van Valin. Props if he mispronounces skiing as skiblading while interviewing a pro just for the reaction.


"And the handplant 180 to stomach smash speaker loss! Unbelievable!"

"And now into this... Blue... Fart rail. What has Sean got for us? OOOHHH HUGE backflip to front flip!"

Good news for sure. Now if we could just get him going on dew and xgames. He's a legend and all, but Mike Douglas hasn't been doing for me for quite some time.
