Hey why not? He's the biggest homer there is and that's what team radio is all about.

Tim brant and joe theismann sounds a lot better than Larry Michael and sonny jergensen.

Could the radio really stand to have 2 huge homers like Larry and Joey T in the same booth? Should be a FCC regulation against it.

I mean everyone dislikes him because he is not Herzog. That's about it. I know he sort of engineered himself into that job and got Frank canned but that isn't like common knowledge so I know it isn't that.

Truth be told, and Frank would never admit this, but Herzog wanted out. He didn't like the way it was done and he enjoyed hanging out with Sonny (not as much Sam). But he wasn't really enjoying it anymore and his disinterest was pretty obvious to those (myself included) who worked with him during the week

Sonny, Sam, & Frank were really good and fun to listen to. When Frank left something changed and Sonny & Sam didnt seem as good anymore. Maybe Frank knew how to bring out the best in them and make them look good.

I dont have a problem with Larry M, he's a solid play by play guy. I'm not sure I could stand Doc in the booth as his cliches get old fast. I dont think I could stand Joe T either. Maybe D. Green would be interested.

I think the reason I dislike Larry so much is because everytime I hear him talk, he acts like we are fielding a team of All-Pro's. And whenever I hear one of his calls when we have a big play (like on NFLN highlights/etc.) it just doesn't sound good for whatever reason. Either way, the only time I hear him is on the highlight calls, so it's not a big deal to me.

I agree. I don't know what it is either but his voice and what I imagine as a redskins commentator are two different things.

Gmanc711 sorta nailed it. We haven't had much football to enjoy since LM has been around.

I know I might be the bad guy here but Larry Michael isn't at all bad. He's not worse than Herzog was. I can't say I understand anyone's dislike of his work. I see no reason to dump him.
I don't get all the Larry Hate myself. Guy is a solid play by play guy....if not GOOD!
Love his High energy calls on a TD or outstanding play...

I'm a big fan of Larry Michael.

OF COURSE he's going to be over-the-top optimistic, the team pays him to be. I think he's a good game commentator and I try to catch Redskins Nation every morning on CSN while eating breakfast.

I'd rather listen to someone with Larry's love and almost blind optimism for the team than someone like Lavar or Brian Mitchell complain about the team.

Sometimes, things have gone so badly, he helps keep you sane with his attitude. He had nothing but faith in Cousins all year and when RGIII went down, he wasn't proclaiming the end of the world and look, Kirk actually lived up to Larry Michael's praises.
