I remember when Michael Madsen did that back in the day for the New York Knights. He died.

Never liked that dude, and I kind of liked the Knights. He was such a fucking loafer.

Why Hawk Harrelson wants to call White Sox games for 4 more years
By CSN Staff December 27, 2016 2:00 PM
Hawk Harrelson reduced his workload as White Sox broadcaster in 2016. But don't expect him to leave the booth anytime soon.
Harrelson joined CSN's Chuck Garfien on the White Sox Talk Podcast and discussed, among other topics, his future with the team. Harrelson told Garfien that he plans to be the White Sox broadcaster for four more years. And there's a specific reason.
"I'd like to go four more years. I'd like to go to 2020 because that would put me in a category that not many guys have reached. I know Vin Scully has been there, Don Zimmer, Dave Garcia and maybe a couple others, but if I go to 2020 that would put me in a category of being in baseball for eight decades. And the reason I want to do this is for my grandchildren. That would be nice for them to have a grandfather who was in baseball for parts of eight decades, and if I go to 2020 that would put me in that category.
"Seven is not bad, but eight is something special."
Harrelson also discussed his thoughts on the White Sox rebuild, as well as the round of golf he played with umpire Joe West on the Podcast. You can listen to the entire interview right here.

2016 needs to take him quickly before it ends.

<span>I hope his last awkward silence occurs when the Sox get beaten and eliminated from the playoffs in August with a walk-off...and no one notices that he's dead.</span>
<span>If he has to call 20 more seasons for that to happen, I hope he sticks with it.</span>

How the hell has someone so objectively shitty at their job been doing it for 7 decades?

I think he's including his time as a player. To my knowledge he's only been a broadcaster since the mid-80s. That still spans 5 decades of being terrible.

He sucked as a player, too. And as a GM.

Nuh-uh. The longer the Sox are tied to that dickspritz, the better.

Agreed 100%. And I'd love nothing more than to witness Hawk suffer through a spectacular failed rebuild, while the Cubs dominate the baseball world. That would be comedy gold.

I'm trying to imagine what would be worse than listening to him call a W Sox game where they played great and won.
It makes me want to almost vomit just thinking about it--that voice and the things he comes up with in that head.
It's not like Kasper is a treasure or anything but do those fans actually like him?
I've always wondered.
