CrustyRedskin 11-29-2011, 11:25 AM Sonny & Sam are a comedy team! I know what yall are saying, they should've hung it up years ago. Still, their presence means something to me, I'll be sad when they're gone, they're part of old DC.
So is Shananhan and Snyder.
SmootSmack 11-29-2011, 12:43 PM Snyder has nothing to do with the radio team. Yes, he owns the station but his involvement is pretty much zero

I am sure your right on that, but I know if I were in charge of the Redskins radio team I would not want to be the one that fired Sonny. Everyone at that station knows that Sonny has Dan's ear and Dan owns the station. It has to factor in some way to explain how an obvious senile old man (Sam) is allowed to be on this radio broadcast. There is no other logical explanation...

Not according to the people that were working with Frank Herzog at the time SS.Rumor mill is Larry Michaels was his personel choice.

Well, as someone who actually was working directly with Frank at the time, I can tell you that's not true. Snyder had nothing to do with Herzog being replaced by Michaels. From Frank's mouth to my ears

Pals reunite on-air with Frank Herzog, 'the voice' of the Redskins (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/03/22/AR2010032202556.html)
Herzog explained later that Redskins owner Daniel Snyder wasn't behind his firing; he was dumped by radio station WJFK-FM, which then held the rights to broadcast Redskins games.
"It was a money thing," Herzog said. "They wanted to use one of their employees, who had other responsibilities, so they could save one salary." As for Snyder: "He did all he could. I saw him later, and he looked me in the eye and shook my hand and said: 'I don't interfere with the decisions of other companies. It's their call to make.' "
I think I once mentioned that I came close (about two years ago) to working the Redskins radio and online team. And honestly, the problems go beyond who's in the booth. It was a bit of a management mess. But Snyder was not even remotely involved in any of it

Cool, you are the man.
CrustyRedskin 11-29-2011, 06:49 PM On the other hand, he misses the Redskins. "If they were to ask me back, I'd think about it," he says. And after thinking about it, he adds, "Yeah, I'd go back."
Some of my other favorites
"He's got Monk in motion"
"Handoff Riggins left side big hole"!!
"If its inside the 20 its Didier time"
mlmpetert 11-29-2011, 10:38 PM they are on fm also. when was the last game you heard them call? it's not funny it's down right embarassing if you ask me. sam honestly does not know what is going on anymore, he is just up there saying what ever pops into his mind. it's not a matter of him being funny it's him losing his mind and no one having the balls to telll him it's time to hang it up, it's actually kind of pathetic and sad. i really hope this is his last year.
I heard the first quarter or a little more of the Giants game when i was driving back from a wedding. I also tried to do the turn the tv volume off and turn the radio on thing earlier this year but it didnt work. So i havent listened to much at all this year.
I guess i view the the broadcast as nothing more then a novelty. If i was working or driving around on Sundays and only had that to listen to id probably be hating too....

yeah like coff said if you are looking for a few old guys shooting the s about redskins it's perfect, but if you actually want to have an idea of what is actually going on in the game you are s out of luck
