Reic Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Really? I love Dan Patrick, he's my favorite play by play guy, period. Wow, Snyder reeling in some ESPN persona's for play by play now? Nice! :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifty Gut Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Replace Riggins with Doc Walker and we'd have a great booth. Good call. But I don't want to lose Doc on the postgame show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neophyte Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I kinda wish that they would find another defensive guy to put in the booth. Charles Mann is really the only name I can come up with who is "broadcast quality". Jason My thought as well. Ditch Joey T for a defensive guy. Mann came to mind almost at once and so did D Green.

MWCREDSKINS Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 That would be nice but I've grown up on Sam and Sonny so it'd be kind of tough. But I think Larry is there for awhile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntotoro Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I'd miss Sonny, but I'd be glad to see Larry out of the booth. I can't stand him. Although, Theismann wouldn't be much of an improvement. I like Mike Patrick, though. Bite your tongue! Theeeeesman, for all his faults, is about 100000000x better than that waste of radiowaves Larry.

redskns21 Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I really, really, really don't get the hate for Larry Michael :whoknows:And if anyone is thinking about quoting this post and saying "cuz he forced Frank out", save yourself the embarassment of going there. I don't get it either Zoony. I mean you can tell that he's a total homer, but that's his job. He's largely responsible for bringing us all of the great content on the site, nightly news, Redskins Lunch/Nation, pre and post game stuff. Do those that hate him have any recollection of how piss-poor the site was prior to the Skins hiring him? It had to be one of the worst NFL sites out there. I appreciate the changes and the daily updated content, even if it is a bit homerific and contrived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGSKINS Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Hell no. I love sunny and sam. But I guess all things must end. Patrick, Joey T, and Riggo would be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouvan59 Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I would love that booth. I think having Riggo in the booth to help reign in Theismann would be fantastic. I'm a huge fan of Sonny and Sam but their time has passed. They are both sounding like Pat Summerall towards the end of his career. It's just time. I don't hate Larry but I don't particularly like him either. I am a big fan of Mike Patrick however and think he'd be a big addition. Keeping my fingers crossed that this falls under the "true" rumors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could personally do without hearing his voice and brainless, thoughtless homerisms on the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDRedskinsFan Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Sonny and Sam were great, but we will have to replace them one day. If it means getting Mike Patrick, Joey T. and Riggo/Doc, we'd be much better off in the long run. As an O's fan, I really miss having Jon Miller doing the radio broadcasts and it is very important to have a strong radio game crew. Funny this gets mentioned, because for the last year I've thought about what it would be like to have Mike Patrick and Joey T. doing the games on radio, since they're not doing NFL games on ESPN anymore, and they already do our preseason games.

JurgyFan Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 As much as I like Theismann and Riggo, I can't even begin to imagine a broadcast team that didn't include Sonny and Sam...expecially Sonny. I'm biased, I know, but that's one of the things I like about Sonny & Sam, they're unabashedly biased and crotchety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcees4life Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 actually Doc is now the sideline reporter during games. That was announced today. As a Doc Walker fan, i am thrilled. Him and Sheehan should be a nice combo from 12-2 pm. I wonder if Doc is still gonna do color commentary for the ACC on Saturday afternoons. If so, he's gonna be real busy.

jferraro Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Sonny, Sam, and Frank were a fantastic team (Larry sucks) i agree wholeheartedly cheers from west chester...have you seen me wearing my 1994 washington redskins tshirt?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted July 18, 2008 Author Share Posted July 18, 2008 Sonny doesn't give the impression that he would ever want to leave. It's not really his choice in the end. I can see Sonny staying one or two years with a new booth. But he seems irritable as hell with both Larry and Sam half the time. I can't imagine there would be much immediate chemistry with new partners. The man is 73 years old. He's been on the air for 34 years. How long can you really expect him to do this? I think having Sonny and Sam ride off into the sunset together would be appropriate. Make the final home game a big love-in for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I would absolutely be heartbroken if Sonny were forced out although I'd be OK with it if it were his choice. I just don't want to see him Favre'd. He's earned the right to go out on his own terms, IMO. I've always liked Mike Patrick but I question how well Joe and Riggo would mesh. Then again, Joe and Paul McGuire used to crack me up with their bickering so maybe it could work. I'm torn between Riggins and Doc Walker. I think either one could work pretty well.

Skins1957 Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Sonny, Sam, and Frank were a fantastic team (Larry sucks) I agree. Will always think of them as the "Voice" of the Redskins. Would be sorry to hear if Sonny and Sam left but a change will come someday anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, Theismann wouldn't be much of an improvement. I like Mike Patrick, though.And I'll take this opportunity to express again my feelings that they should BRING BACK FRANK. I would LOVE Patrick/Theismann/Riggins. :notworthyI love those guys. That would be the best broadcast team in the NFL imo. I agree. Sure seems like Joe T. is falling more and more in love with the sound of his own voice, but Mike Patrick has always been a solid play-by-play guy, he has a good feel for the proper emotional delivery depending on the game situation. He's also excellent at calling college hoops, as I'm sure most of you on the E coast already know. (ACC tournament anyone?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECU-ALUM Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Mike Patrick & Joey T did all those years on ESPN...and did a good job...throw Riggo into the mix and this could be way better than anything the Networks have to offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedlightG20 Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 It'll be tough to listen to a different group, but I can't imagine they break up the team now and mix Patrick with Sonny or someone like that. Keep the current group in tact or get rid of all of em. I'm a big fan of Sonny, the other two don't always seem right to me. They just get too many calls wrong, I guess its old age. If Riggo is on, I want someone to keep count how many times he says "and it seems to me..." during the game. Personally I'm more worried about the postgame show with Jacoby/Sheehan. That show makes my ears bleed, and it's not because of how Jacoby talks, it's like they don't screen calls that well and they put some idiot callers on the air.. my god it's awful.

SiestaBob Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Doc would be AWESOME on the sidelines doing Bram's old job. I wonder if he'd do it?... or would that somehow be a step down?Larry said today that Doc Walker will take Bram's place as the sideline reporter for each game.

HogNose Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Next year it could be Mike Patrick doing play-by-play' date=' with Joe Theismann and John Riggins adding color. .[/quote']Mike Patrick would be great...liked him on Sunday Night Football. That would be a pretty good team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
