Stan can be funny, so I look forward to seeing him call games.

Good, TNT needed it with how insufferable some of their commentators are. SVG at least is worth listening to with his analysis.

Other than that he has a face for radio and a voice for neither

Yeah, SVG's voice can be pretty abrasive.

He knows his stuff and is usually pretty straightforward and to the point, though.

I've been disappointed in him so far. It's like he doesn't want to offend anyone because he still wants to coach.
