Sportscaster

The Resume

    Host of 'NY Hoop Beat with Mike Breen,'
    Broadcast NFL (1997-99), NBA, and WNBA
    Radio Voice of the New York Knicks (1992-97)

Why he might be annoying:

    He says 'Bang!' every time a player hits a big three.
    He called the Ron Artest brawl the 'most ugliest' thing he'd ever seen in the NBA.
    When Artest first ran into the stands, Breen said that he was 'trying to get down to the bench,' even though that's where he was leaving from.
    He served as sports correspondent for 'Imus in the Morning.'

Why he might not be annoying:

    He took over for Marv Albert as the voice of the New York Knicks.
    He's managed to put up with Bill Walton, PJ Carlisemo and Walt Frazier.
    He called the NBA Eastern Conference Finals in 2001 and 2002 for NBC.
    He was a commentator for the Olympics on NBC (2004).
    ESPN hired him to replace Brad Nessler on their NBA telecasts.
    He handled himself well when describing the NBA brawl on live television (November 19, 2004).
    After the game, he and Bill Walton discussed the brawl objectively, unlike their coworkers in the studio (John Saunders, Greg Anthony, Tim Legler, Stephen A. Smith).
