He comes across as simple, annoying and not too bright. The phrases The Game likes so much are the one that make me think that. He is very painful to listen to (especially compared to the Tigers guys who, though I'm sure I'm bias, are one of the better pairs in the game) and he gets so many things wrong. He'll make statements about Tigers players that are flat out wrong (whereas other announcers I have heard, even if they are rival teams like the Twins, get those facts totally correct). I can't believe the Sox fans haven't asked for his head.

Hawk is hardly universally loved among Sox fans, but there's kind of the feeling that, "yeah, he's a terrible announcer, but he's
our terrible announcer."
