Not trying to mince words here, it's a goddamn shame. It sounds like the execs just want a new voice in the booth. Phil Chenier is as much a part of this team as Ted Leonsis. He's been doing games in the booth longer than I've been alive. They totally did him dirty too, if you wanted a new voice tell him before the season starts so he can enjoy a farewell tour. It's the least they could do after 33 seasons serving this team in the booth. It'd be like the CSN getting rid of Beninati.
Also how you gonna do this to the guy the year the team finally joins the cusp of being elite. The comments that I read from Chenier feel like he was blindsided by this.
