Re: Less Huff In the Booth
You can't compare NHL broadcasts to NFL. They're two totally different animals
Hooskins, think you're talking about the506.com

Re: Less Huff In the Booth
You also have to remember its only in preseason that you get your local announcers doing the games.

Re: Less Huff In the Booth
Troy Aikman is by far the best game announcer there is in football. The ONLY other person that would give him a run for the money in my book is Jon Gruden.
Who gives a flying **** if Aikman was a cowboy. The 90's called and they want their grudge back. Hell, I think Troy is much better at being a game analyst than he ever was a NFL QB, and he's in the Hall of Fame. That should tell you something.

I'll answer it after having looked. He got started in 1962 announcing for the Giants after having played for them. He announced for 3 yrs then CBS changed their rules governing dedicated announcers for each team. He then announced for the Redskins for the next 4 yrs until 1968. After which he got teamed up with a ton of different people and announced for a ton of different sports. Not just NFL. He became the regular Super Bowl announcer teamed with other announcers. He did the Master, U.S. Open, and NBA. I think my not having an issue with him stemmed from seeing him announcing every where and him doing it well. and he wasn't a Dallas Cowboy. |

Now I presume the topic will come up that has not is the money issue. FOX would have to hire someone to work 8 games only. Now a days the announcers look for it to be their yearly career's so they want to have as many games as possible. and I see the point and respect it. But lets look at it this way, our local FOX DC could utilize the sports announcers they already have that are covering the Redskins through camp and preseason announce the games as well plus those announcers would already know the team and players, coaches, owner, and system better then Aikman ever would. |

To each his own, I'd prefer Theismann over Aikman every day. But I'll grant you there would have to be someone better then Theismann. But you would be saved cause Theismann doesn't work for FOX. |

Ladies and Gentlemen, here lies the reason football is not as good as it used to be. Fans who just don't care or don't give a flying (you know what). First it was letting a CAP to be put in place, then it was Free Agency, and now its simply fans who don't give a ****. 1-The CAP would force teams to let good players go cause they couldn't keep them on the roster due to budgeting. 2- Free Agency was applied so players could go to other teams and get the $$$. (who gives a rats ass about loyalty, right). 3- Fans who are willing to tolerate rival teams players announcing their games because ... who gives a flying ****. LOL. |

Basically your all telling me that there is no way our local FOX DC can locate, find, or hire an ex Redskins to announce on Sunday? Not a one? Atleast the home games. No one? OK. |
