Bill Walton is insufferable

**KRIT** · 02-18-17, 09:59 PM

I enjoy him, but I can understand why others don't like him. He is pure entertainment.

I get the entertainment part, that's why I called him a buffoon, because amusing is associated with buffoonery, but it's way too much.

**unde0087** · 02-18-17, 10:01 PM

I find it funny now. Used to piss me off but his on going ramblings have grown on me I guess. I loved it the other night when him and Dickie V called that Cavs game. I can see how he would bother a lot of people though.

Bill is the nicest guy you will ever meet

Talked to him for an hour at one of Larry's 4th/JULY parties

Is he a little crazy?? Yes, but he is a great guy and is a joy to talk to. Also can drink like a fish along with larry

David West couldn't hang, passed out in the pool house

I always thought David West was a light weight

**lakerboy** · 02-18-17, 10:29 PM

Don't pay attention to him. He died years ago

**gummo** · 02-18-17, 10:31 PM

I just want Vitale and Doris Burke to go away.

Literally walked in there and was looking for a place to crash...David West just passed the fukk out on the whole bed

Did not feel like telling a dunk david to get the fukk out of the guest room

I think he was drinking tequila can't remember but he was stupid drunk

Slept on the pool house couch, all i could find

**BetweenHerCheeks** · 02-18-17, 11:16 PM

Fuk u nash u little whiny kunt.

Bill Walton = BEST COLOR MAN EVER

**Wrongside** · 02-18-17, 11:21 PM

I'm a fan. I don't like the Dead and all the stuff he likes, but his commentary is still good at times. He is entertaining. Just works for me.
Not same ole...

**JIBBBY** · 02-18-17, 11:33 PM

I'm glad to see him commentating again.. He's a spicer for sure.. I find him to be silly... I like him even with is Greatful Dead tie dye references... He's a clown..

The Grateful Dead are some of the best musicians in Rock and Roll history. You're really missing out.

I didn't miss out..

**DOM_Toretto** · 02-19-17, 12:58 AM

I hate Bill Walton with a passion.

Literally can't stand to watch any game he broadcasts with volume on. Ruins the game.

My personal fave is Uncle John's Band.

Only saw two Dead shows with Jerry and they played Uncle John's Band at one while I was tripping balls. It was a spiritual experience.

Lol you really posted touch of grey and Casey jones...

**19th Hole** · 02-19-17, 01:43 AM

Enjoy Walton and all of his goofy allusions.
Buffoonery surely...But it works for me.

Dead work for me too...Barely remember '67
Halloween bash with Pigpen and the Dead at Winterland.
Augustus Stanley Owsley had grocery bags full of his 1st batch of STP on the
ticket collectors table and each guest got to partake.
Very lively 12 hours....

I'm down with Bill, The Dead and some original Owsley. Sounds like a fun night!

**QuantumLeap** · 02-20-17, 12:00 AM

I always wondered what his relationship was with Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA) sympathizer Jack Scott.

I did. I guess I'm not a die hard dead fan but I did like them though, what do you want from me pal?

..

I got on board late in the game..

**Dollars2Donuts** · 02-20-17, 01:22 AM

I was just talking about Walton the other night with a buddy of mine.

Yes, he is a clown.

Yes, his schtick can be annoying

Yes, I like him anyway. Lol. Not even sure why.

Part of it is that you can tell he is a functioning alcohol. I have always liked those guys. Reminds me of me.

**tony_come** · 02-20-17, 03:24 AM

Who does he play for?

**unde0087** · 02-20-17, 03:27 AM

He makes games that are hard to watch, watchable. Even if the game is a route or just a terribly played game, instead of changing the channel I just listen to him ramble on about anything but the game. His partner always has to try and get him back on track or randomly chime in every couple of minutes with something about the game

its priceless

**thetrinity** · 02-20-17, 12:57 PM

Never could stand him

Used to be worse for nba on nbc

**RobbieStacks** · 02-20-17, 01:12 PM

I love Bill Walton!

"The conference of champions"

**INVEGA MAN** · 02-20-17, 01:27 PM

I just turn the sound down. He reminds me of Trump.

Right. Bill Walton is a full blown tree hugging Liberal..

Nothing like Trump..

**jjgold** · 02-20-17, 02:57 PM

one of the best there is on tv

**strikegoldsgs** · 02-20-17, 03:03 PM

Bill has a job becaus he is one of the greatest basketball players ever.
Bill is very personable.
Bill while a hardcore leftist gets along with everyone and this helps with any career field.

I find him entertaining and think he brings positivity to the job.

Dave Pasch mentioned on air Saturday night that they would be announcing the Kansas/Texas game on Feb 25th (ESPN). Walton didn't seem happy about having to leave the friendly tree hugging confines of the West Coast.
