The Cowboy Bamma Rocker Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Did anyone watch the post game Locker Room video on Redskins.com? Looks like Sam Huff is doing worse than I thought. Around 6:45 through the clip, he asks Stephen Bowen where he came from, noticing he wasn't picked up in the draft. Larry awkwardly corrects him and they move on... but really left me pretty shocked. I mean we all knew he's losing it, but did anyone realize it was this bad? Probably gonna have to replace him real soon unfortunately... On another note, the players seem pretty confident (but not too confident) heading into the bye week. We still got the reality check in Dallas to keep the players motivated. Torain excited to jump in and contribute. I hope they all get at least a few touches every game. Could be a similar rotation to preseason, that worked well. Rak always great with reporters. This thread is mainly intended to discuss Sam Huff, though. EDIT: they removed the link.... it shows the organization definitely knows it's a problem.

Rpredskins Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 LOL @ the look on Bowen's face. Sam Huff was losing his marbles the last time I listened to radio coverage about 10 years ago, I can see why people want somebody new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88Comrade2000 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I like listening to the Skins on the radio. Sam is done and needs to retire. They always have to correct him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scruffylookin Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 After not listening at all last season, I decided to give the radio another go this season. They are still awful. Sam Huff is an embarrassment. He is clueless about just about everything. I will say that I credit Michael and Jurgensen for not letting his mistakes stand most of the time. The correct him on air alot. The radio seems to miss the ref announcing a penalty alot now and this led to Larry Michael sounding like a moron when the ref called a penalty on one of the punt returns and he clearly said "enforced from the end of the play" (which was the hit that forced the fumble and the ball bounced backwards before bring recovered by the Rams at like the 5). The ball was placed at the 20 or so and Michael said they must have picked up the flag. No Larry if you were paying attention 5 plus 15 is 20. The radio booth is as bad as ever. My wife, who is learning the game, keeps saying "these old men are driving me crazy". I will say this though, after taking a year off, as bad as this booth is and all three should be long gone, I do find listening to their call the lesser of two evils. I just can't stand the tv booths for Skins games. Especially the C grade stuff like Myers and Ryan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyman214 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I love Sam Huff, but this is just sad.. The Skins front office needs to find a nice way to tell Sam thank you, but get him off the air. It's difficult to listen to at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smackdown 46 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Does anyone have that link? Sam was great in his day and needs to retire gracefully before more embarassment happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsinparadise Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Actually I like Larry and Sonny. Sam to me, nice guy, represents nostalgia, but its not only these mistakes that are striking me, listening to him it sounds like he just shows up on game day without doing any preparation during the week. In other words, it seems like he just wings it and it shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahbird Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 OP....Link? Last year Sam Huff was calling Albert Connell's name. I pretty much knew what I needed to know after that. Sam: "That was Albert Connell" Sonny: "Albert Connell hasn't played for this team in 10 years." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NattyBo Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Before the game they asked Sam what he thought of Landry last week. He asked if they meant Tom Landry. Please, get Sam off the air. It's gone beyond funny into embarrassing/cruel territory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jflow78 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 It's sad. That's pretty much it. It's clear that dementia is well on it's way and I can't understand why they continue to let it happen. If Snyder wanted to do something classy, he'd let Sam come in and watch the games in his suite with him. I hope they get someone younger to come in and do the games after Sam is gone. It would be nice to have someone in there who's played in the last 20 years or so. No exaggeration, I just think it would be nice to have someone like Rypien or Gary Clark or someone from the Skins most recent glory days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skin'Em84 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I think everyone is being a little to tight about Sam. I listened to the radio on the ride home, and really enjoyed it. Sam's going completely bonkers, Sonny is like his stable, and intelligent wife, and Larry's like the obvious-stating son (yes, I know that's his job, it's not a knock on him.) It's almost like a sitcom with my football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clskinsfan Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I stopped listening once they replaced Frank with Larry. Being a Dish subscriber makes it almost impossible as the radio is delayed by 30 seconds at least. I did listen a little yesterday and I agree Sam is in a sad state of affairs. He needs to retire. Period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grhqofb5 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Did anyone notice when Ryan/Myers insisted that Rex had grounded the ball, when the line of scrimmage was at the 34. They actually watched a slow motion replay of it, when the ball clearly made it to the 29, but still said "yep, didn't make it to the line of scrimmage, refs missed that one." I wanted to barf.

StillUnknown Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Before the game they asked Sam what he thought of Landry last week.He asked if they meant Tom Landry. Please, get Sam off the air. It's gone beyond funny into embarrassing/cruel territory. I remember I listened to the first preseason game on the radio, Sam said it was first time he'd seen Rex Grossman play. They really need to gracefully remove him from the booth, he clearly lacks the mental capacity to do the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsHokieFan Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 It is very obvious Sam needs to retire. The gaffes and "senior moments" are now 1/2 the things he says. The other half he just sounds like an upset old man I think it was the 1st preseason game. Steelers get a 4 yard gain. "They look like they haven't practiced all week!" Larry: "Its the first play of the preseason Sam" And when Sheehan asked Sam about Landry and he went off on a 30 second tangent about Tom Landry :doh: "Tom Landry? You know, he was my first coach and I learned everything about football from him." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
