Bill Walton is a horrible announcer

Well, he's baked out of his mind, so....

You shut your whore mouth.  He's a national treasure.  You just have to be drunk or high to get it.

Never understood why he was so popular in the nation.

Maybe a regional thing for liking him that grew national.

Wrong.  He might be the best.

He's absurd but it works because what he's commentating on is even more absurd...which is, men's college basketball/or football.

Bill Walton is hilarious. His rants bring viewers. 
 

I was seated next to him at a steakhouse in San Diego. Dude is wearing sweatpants and a USA basketball sweatshirt talking about his love for drums. I couldn’t stop listening to him. 

Seems people don’t know it’s not Pasch calling the game with him. 

new to watching college basketball?

next thing i know you'll tell me about this crazy guy named don cherry doing hockey games.

shook walton's hand at the luskin center after a lorenzo ball-era game a few years ago. huge hands obviously, but felt like i could crush his bones. nice guy.

As the Dothraki say, "it is known."

Opinions vary. Man.

Thanks for telling me to turn on the "Maui" Invitational. Dude's probably high as the Blue Ridge Mountains and I'm OK with this. He might be a train wreck. but I like train wrecks.

I love his commentary; so weird it’s entertaining 

Agreed. Turned the game on, didn't last 2 minutes. 

I don't care enough about either team to put myself through that.

I love him...heard him on the Providence/Indiana broadcast and was laughing with enjoyment the whole time!

See and he just worked in Juwan Howard/Michigan/Franz Wagner out of nowhere.

An American treasure 

Bill Walton is the Harry Caray of College Basketball.  He goes off on weird tangents and like Harry talks about things like if the Moon was made out of spare ribs would you eat it?  He is half baked all the time just like Harry was blitzed by the third inning.  The parallels between the 2 are remarkable.

He is hilarious to watch if it is a meaningless game. My friends and I steal his stupid catch phrases into conversations sometimes. A lot of times he is more entertaining than the game. 

Fuck that.  Bill Walton is a national treasure on the call. You are wrong and you should feel bad for being wrong.  
 

I am here for all of his weird comments.  That’s what makes these games watchable.  Kids these days.  Get off my lawn. And I’ll now step outside to yell at some clouds.  

I love listening to Bill Walton. He makes every game entertaining. 

Crimson Quarry has been covering Bill's "insight". It's much funnier when read then when actually trying to, you know, get some coverage of the basketball game you are presently watching:

He's always been a horrible announcer, dating back to the NBA on NBC days. He's so bad in fact that him being ridiculously bad at his job is actually part of the schtick that keeps him gainfully employed. He's like an unacknowledged parody of color commentary as a concept. It's the only explanation I can think of for why he's still allowed on TV.

At least now we can say he's old and senile. Back in the 90's he had no excuse.

I’m a huge fan of Bill Walton’s commentary because I don’t like boring. 

Walton was maybe the most dominant college players ever and yes a 60's Dead Head.  Never lost a game in 5 years. 3 POYs (freshman couldn't play). Love to hear him yap about the sonoran desert, during a PAC 10 game. Then again I like Tony Romo too. Acqib Talib was different/ fun too on the Lions broadcast ( the only reason to watch).

Last year Walton was visited by Frank Caliendo who did Walton spot on. That was pure gold!

I wonder how much weed does Big Bill smoke on a good day? He was stammering on about eating mushrooms during the NC/Stanford game.

Dude is a National Treasure

It's no longer the Grateful Dead references or the blind PAC12 hucksterism, or even his refusal to do any reseach that makes me mute Walton, it's his embarrassing pseudo-intellectualism.  Can you imagine Walton cornering you at a party?

In other news, water is wet.

He popped up in Shark Tank the other night in a mascot uniform  (big one) and was hilarious.

I'm surprised this hasn't been mentioned, but if I recall Bill Walton always hated on the Fab Five. Something about them being new and baggy shorts and edgy was just too much for that old hippie.
