I'm sure I'm in the minority, but I simply can't listen to a Bears radio broadcast because Tom Thayer has a provision in his contract that requires him to preach a sermon after every play. No sooner does Joniak finish the call than Thayer has to ramble ad nauseum about the play. Not every play deserves nor requires in-depth analysis, but Thayer feels compelled to babble incessantly after every play. It ruins the broadcast.
