I love listening to Sonny Sam and Larry. If my cable wasnt delayed i would watch the game and listen to them call the game, like you used to be able to.
There is an app for the iPAD (iRadio or something like that) that allows you to listen to Sonny and Sam and to slow down their broadcast to match it with HD cable. It works great until the first radio commercial. For some dumb reason everytime Sonny and Sam go to commercial they change their timing. Sometimes faster sometimes slower, but you have to resynch. If their crack technical team wouldn't do this we could easily "turn down the TV and watch the game and listen to Sonny and Sam". I still think they are better than many of the announcers we get on TV for the games.

That is the Devil's Trifecta.
Theisman won't shut up; Riggo will link every negative play to Danny Boy's dark heart and Doc will make sure that every Redskin is called a "baller" twice a game.
I'd rather undergo abdominal surgery than listen to that trio...

I like Larry Michaels as a play caller. I think Doc could be a real good color guy. Honestly this combo doesnt sound too bad to me.
I think Riggo would be aweful. I cant stand Thiesman during the preseason and couldnt imagine what it would be like if you could only hear him and couldnt even watch the game. I dont know anything about Tim Brant.
Do most radio stations use 2 or 3 guys?
