Not to stir up the hate on Lon again, but I think both sides of the issue would find this interesting.
Not a huge surprise. He was the ESPN play by play voice for their "niche" sports in the early 2000s. Billiards, fishing, poker, strongest man competition and others. It just so happened that Poker out-boomed the others and became what he was known for.
