The problem with guys like Leander is that they just don't have the experience 'painting the picture' for the fans, so they resort to hyperbole and catch phrases to stand out from the crowd.

Yep. With Al, you don't even have to see the game to picture it perfectly. With Leander, I swear I know what is going on best when he isn't speaking.
