HARD CHOICES POLL #5 – BROADCASTERS.
Totally Tigers

In recognition of the long holiday week that celebrates both Passover and Easter, we’re providing quicker Detroit Tiger fixes for our readers. After all, you’re now trying to either get home or still cleaning up after your guests have left.
Through tomorrow, we’re offering new polls for you to cast your votes and have your say. But just not any.
They’re going to be tough. On purpose.
We’re going to give you several choices for each question. One vote only. No substitutions.
This poll goes into the broadcast booth. You’re going to be choosing between Dan Dickerson and Jason Benetti.
While Benetti is solely on tv, Dickerson now splits his time between tv and radio.
You’re going to evaluate each on:

• Knowledge of the game
• Personality and voice
• Entertainment factor
• Whether they help you understand the game better.
• How well they draw you into the game.

DD by a mile. I can't stand Benitti

I talked to Jason Benetti on a talk show and he said he was aware of our DSF and Tigers forum, and he said he enjoys your posts more than anyone else.
