Just read that Bill Russell will be replaced by Tom Heinsohn for
CBS basketball coverage of the NBA.  Given the discussion of 
Broadcasters in the newsgroups, what did people think of Bill
Russell as a basketball color analyst?  I think he is excellent
for many reasons.  He knows the game so much more that Gary Bender
of Brent Mouse-burger and he also is very funny in my opinion.
He never gets excited like Bender and Brent (who constantly raise
their respective voices during the slightest increase in excitment)
and consistently has the proper analysis of the situation.
I for one say bring back Bill Russell....
