Less Huff In the Booth

Doc is best in small doses. Yeah he would get old really quick.

I totally agree. Doc is the cliche king and that gets old fast. I dont have a problem with a 2 man booth of Larry & Sonny.

I like Huff in the booth. It reminds me how old the franchise is every time he tries to complete a sentence.

It's supposed to be a professional broadcast crew that covers a professional football team. It's not a comedy hour, it's not the Lavar and Dukes show, or the Mike Wise show. Their job is to do play by play announcing while providing professional analyst of the game. The whole crew needs to be replaced in my opinion.


Somebody who has excellent knowledge of the game and would be a great analyst is Matt Bowen. Not sure how he does on the air, but his knowledge and insight would be awesome.

Exactly. I don't know why being on the radio should excuse them from doing a top notch job.

Most people feel that radio is a 3rd class entertainment citizen. The variance between Radio's quality and the other platforms(tv and online) is subjective but generally considered to be poorer. This leads to a varying degree of what people will stomach out of local radio broadcasters.

I personally like them all for what they're worth. If i want nostalgia, and full on coolaid, i listen to the radio. If i want information, i go to the internet. If i want to get drunk, i watch television.

Quite candidly there are few things I detest more about being a Redskins fan than having to listen to Sam Huff. And I'm generally not one to get all carried away with who the announcers are. But Huff is so beyond horrible it's repulsive. For over a decade Frank and Sonny and later Larry and Sonny have been covering for him far more than people realize. That it's radio is no excuse, there were many times when I (and am sure many others) had no other means but the radio broadcast to catch a game.

I totally respect what Sam Huff has meant for not only the Redskins but the NFL as a whole. He changed the game, no question about it. And it's naive to think that his aggressive play didn't at least have some impact on his "inabilities' today. But enought is enough. He 100% must go.

shocking, i really thought huff would go the other way

Yeah, I don't know how he can't know that his focus and attention to detail have gotten way below par. Nor how the Skins can let him stay in the booth at all.

I don't think hes hurting anything, and I listen to at least half the games on the radio. Maybe his horrible game calling has paralleled the atrocities he's seen on the field the last 15 years(-Gibbs 2.0). Maybe RGIII and these boys can breath a little life back into the ol fart!! Lets have three cheers for Sam!!! lol

Yeah sorry no sympathy from me or excuses for him. He's absolutely awful in the broadcast booth.

They'll eventually have to replace him, if he becomes senile enough that he says something that garners enough attention. I think that's the best shot at this point.

somthing must be done. i was driving home yesterday trying to listen to some of the game but it's basically unlistenable for me at this point. i don't want to hear my granddad with dementia saying random one liners and everyone else just ignoring him while i'm trying to figure out what is going on. it really sounds like they all three hate each other, there is no flow to the game at all. and to top that off snyder needs to either get some legit broadacsting equipment or more antenna power so you can actually pick up a solid signal. i mean is that really too much to ask? not only do i have to hear sam ramble on about linebacker this linebacker that, i get inturupted by songs breaking in on the signal and that fuzzy am sounding crap. meanwhile you flip the station to 106.7 and charlie and dave have a top notch broadcast of the nats game. if the nats can do it right why the hell can't the skins? it's time for the redskins to revamp the radio broadcast, it's been over due for years now. and don't even get me started on how you can't get a signal in the damn parking lot at fedex. :rant: maybe it's time to rasie some money and rent some trucks. :)
