    I must say, when I heard she was filling in I figured Castrione had contracted an illness. But to hear that he's on paternity leave is just... I don't know what to say

    I don’t think castricone is that great. Big shoes to fill, I get it, but there’s something about his voice I just don’t like.

    If it's two weeks paternity leave I don't mind at all. If it's three months he can turn in his resignation

    How about "Congratulations, Dad!"...?

    I'm not getting why anyone would have an issue with a guy not leaving town when his wife is expecting to give birth soon...and I've always been childfree.
    Could you explain?

    What's better than making sure you're there welcoming your child into the world?

    I was born on a foggy Saturday morning at 10:08 a.m.

    At 11:30a.m., my dad kissed my mom goodbye and went to the Husky game.

    Washington won 56-7.

    I'm just gonna leave that right there.
    So he was there.

    Tony was whining to softy about anti Lake fans on Twitter and said they weren’t real dawg fans. I guess I feel slightly bad putting him on blast not knowing he was about to have a kid. He blows though. His voice is a nothingburger and his only merit was being a nice guy and interacting with fans etc. He set that on fire and burned his good will.

    Voice cracks like Aaron Goldsmiths. Dislike both.

    I'm not a fan of Tony. He sounds like he's trying so hard all the time that nothing sounds natural. He's also painfully doogish.

    Elise on the other hand is awesome. Last weekend she talked to Gregory before the game and the end of the convo ended with something like "its going to be a fun one but it's sure fun to WIN" right into his face.

    I can see taking the day of the birth off. If you're a man, don't take "paternity leave," take some form of PTO...

    Whatever. Free vacation

    I’m on paternity leave right now. It’s no free vacation. You can fuck off with that!

    And yet I’m still working here and there. Dude should be able to work one day a week.
    I mean I'm pretty sure he has job duties outside of actually calling the game but sure, if he normally shows up for five hours/week and that is it then sure, keep calling the games.
