It certainly was when Dick Schaap was alive. And not that John Saunders was the problem (I've always liked him), but it seemed like at some point the usual guys (Lupica/Korneisher/Ryan in particular, Albolm to some extent) started getting too obnoxious as their public profiles became larger. Plus, in their effort to expand the # of different reporters they put on the show, they ended up with people who just weren't as good on TV.
