I never remember his name. Dont care what his name is neither. He might just be the biggest CLOWN ever to interview athletes. Opening night all he could ask the Williams sisters about was their on-court fashion wardrobe. He sends Sashar Peer off the court from her 3rd round upset win with, "Mazel tov!" LOL What an external rectal opening!! He's made many other dumb comments, and his questions are horrible. Never asks a tough question when the opportunity presents itself. He'd be the FIRST idiot I'd boot from the tennis coverage team.

Oh yeah, his pre-match interview questions are inane and worthless as well.

i agree, he really doesn't add anything. he seems like such an amateur. your posting prompted me to do a search on him because i wondered about his resume. he works for Comcast SportsNet and here's what they have to say about him. suprising he's gotten the recognition he has in PA.
