No socks seems so juvenile. Can’t the station afford a pair of socks for him, or at the very least, can’t they keep a tight shot on Mike so that we don’t have to see his sockless feet?

I remember Mike back in the late 80’s. He’d always show up with tan pants, a button down polo shirt and a pair of loafers with no socks…or was that last week? Hey Mikey…you still wear Zoobahs?

meh, he’s kinda vanilla overall but is the consumate professional.

i voted approve but it’s more a vote for patriots all access which is a great show.

i can take him or leave him on red sox related stuff. he’s just another network TV goof with the Sox…. i just prefer his coverage of the Pats.

You gotta respect Lynchie … an old school scrapper who is not self-absorbed.

Shows up to work sober, making him a rarity in Boston TV sports.

Loyal to TV-5 and, obviously, a favorite of Belichek and the Pats.

Lynch is uninspiring and bland and has been on auto-pilot for 20 years. However, he’s likeable and never alienates co-workers or athletes.

Just wondering what some of the knocks on Lynch are. 16% disapproval is a bit higher than I expected. Does nobody stand a chance in some people’s minds?

Doesn’t anyone find him a little condescending? “This is Julio Lugo. He’s the Red Sox shortstop. This is his bat. See here, he gets a single.” Enough already. Plus the Thanksgiving Day high school football locker room pep talks from these insane coaches are a bit much to handle. Talk about feeding a monster ego on these idiots. Zero value to the general population unless you’ve got a kid in the game.

Mike remains one of the best sports anchors in the local area. He knows his stuff and lets the highlights speak for themselves.

I prefer my media types to be of the non-total-whore variety. Lynchie isn’t out there peddling his wares all over the place. It’s refreshing.

Mike gets points for focusing on lesser sports, and on high-school sports. He also gets points for staying away from the editorializing and pontificating that gives sports media hacks their deserved bad rap.
