5) The "none of the above" don't bring anything to the table guys except a radio voice (like Coleman)

I tend to prefer #3. They are more informed than the others, know the local players, but aren't relentless and obnoxious homers.

The common man and the Torg are pretty entertaining if you ask me. A lot of local guys are. I don't even consider those guys homers. They're pretty critical quite often.

As far as No. 3, I also tend to lean that direction, though sometimes Hooley leans too far to the opposite direction of "homer." He's sometimes over the top with his criticism. But generally, I like guys that don't cater too much to the home crowd, so I agree in principal.
