They aren't nearly as bad as I expected, but their conversations about the olden days already rival those of Joe Morgan and various other straight men on ESPN broadcasts in terms of hokiness. Hawk is trying so hard to prove he's a baseball historian, he's even modified his hillbilly accent at times trying to sound intelligent with Stoney. It's actually somewhat entertaining in that respect.
That said, I don't see this relationship lasting more than a couple seasons. Once Hawk realizes that Stoney isn't DJ or Wimpy, and starts openly disagreeing with his "good guys" bias on air, the cracks will start showing. It's gonna be awesome.
