It is nice not to be bombarded constantly with strategy and filler talk. God Bless him. Just ain't my cup of tea.
Scully doesnt cover a game anymore, he just reads endless meaningless stats placed in front of him by his handlers. His current silence while letting the "sounds of the game come thru" is more often just dozing off. Realistically it seems rather difficult to love him for what he does now, just nostalgically love him for what he once was. It is somewhat like seeing Lauren Bacall now, I prefer her in 'The Big Sleep'. Vin is in his own Big Sleep now.
