There is a difference between Razo making excuses for the team and puns.
I think there was a thread here years ago on his "best" razorisms and I generally enjoyed them. I haven't heard any new ones in a few years IIRC. I still use adapted versions of his "treats me like a baby treats a diaper" on occasion. His jokes about being as confused as a goat on astroturf and the diarrhea jokes never really hit home with me.
As to his gentle critiques and excuses for the team, you just have to understand who pays his salary. I think he is pretty open about some problems (i.e., the PP has been problematic for some time now" but gentle on the home team. I don't see anything wrong with that and anyone who thinks he ought to sharply critique his employers will probably have to wait a long time for that to change. R and R were a bit edgier at one point, once getting a reprimand by the NHL for their critiques of some call or official many years ago. I think they called for a protest or something, but details are sketchy in my mind and I am not going to look that one up.
