I didn't see the SportsCenter, but they probably didn't loop it; he actually said it about 6 times in a row during the live broadcast...

i generally don't pay much attention to broadcasters, but hawk (when he's talking) is hard not to notice. he's "folksy" and annoying, and not in a cute ron santo this-guy-is-just-a-regular-fan way either. the analyst is totally worthless.
maybe someone w/ direct tv or a mlb.com package deal can confirm, but this has gotta be one of the worst broadcast teams in the country.

OTM. The radio team (is it still Ed Farmer and somebody?) is even worse. I listened to an inning or two last summer and was surprised that the announcers just seemed so bored and unable to muster any enthusiasm. I'm not one of those Cubs fans who hates the Sox, but Pat Hughes and Ron Santo are clearly MILES better than that unfortunate duo. (Then again, I do LOVE Hughes and Santo; I turn the sound on the TV off and listen on the radio.)

“Worst press box, worst booths for television. It’s a joke. It really is,” Harrelson told reporters of the Cubs' legendary Wrigley Field. “I will never step foot in that ballpark again. Ever.”
“We’ve got three games over at their place (next season), and I told (White Sox chairman) Jerry (Reinsdorf)..., ‘I’m not going back to Wrigley Field,'" Harrelson said while the White Sox played a road series at Boston's Fenway Park. He said, ‘Well, you’ve got three games there next year.’ I said, ‘Well, we’re going to get rid of those.’”

Harrelson served as a Chicago White Sox announcer from 1982 to 1985 and briefly left broadcasting during the 1986 season to become the White Sox's general manager. During his one season as GM, Harrelson fired field manager Tony La Russa (who was soon hired by the Oakland Athletics) and assistant general manager Dave Dombrowski (who became baseball's youngest general manager with the Montreal Expos two years later). Harrelson also traded rookie Bobby Bonilla, later a six-time All-Star, to the Pittsburgh Pirates for pitcher José DeLeón.
