The beloved Portis was known throughout his tenure with the Redskins from 2004-10 not only for his production as the team’s second-leading rusher all-time, but also for his colorful personality with media and fans. In addition to his work during the preseason, he will also be seen this season on several Redskins Broadcast Network programs on NBC 4 and CSN. Theismann returns to the booth as an analyst in 2015. His background includes his illustrious playing career in which he helped guide the Redskins to victory in Super Bowl XVII, as well as a broadcast résumé featuring analyst work for Monday Night Football, Sunday Night Football and Thursday Night Football. Albert will handle play-by-play duties for three of the team’s 2015 preseason games, including the preseason opener at Cleveland, the team’s home preseason opener vs. Detroit and the team’s preseason finale vs. Jacksonville. Albert is one of the most versatile broadcasters in sports, annually handling national television broadcasts for football and baseball for FOX, national hockey broadcasts for the NBC Sports Network, radio play-by-play duties for the New York Rangers and more. Hernandez will serve as the play-by-play voice of the Redskins’ tilt at Baltimore in Week 3 of the preseason. An original member of CSN, he brings more than two decades of local experience as a host, anchor and reporter to the booth. Hernandez returns to the role after having called the Redskins’ third preseason game in 2012. In addition, all games can be heard on the Redskins Radio Network with Larry Michael, Sonny Jurgensen, Chris Cooley and Rick “Doc” Walker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjfootballer Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Clinton Portis either on the sideline or in the booth is must see! Must see yes, must hear, no. Kenny Albert- Talks like he has a mouth full of saliva. Joe Theismann- Loves to hear himself talk and has been known to pass out in the booth because he never stops talking and runs out os oxygen. Clinton Porits- How lovely it will be to hear him butcher the English Language. Emmitt Smith Part Deaux? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roanoker Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Clinton on the sidelines should be interesting. Glad he is being given an opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkabong82 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Portis is entertaining, but they're going to need captions/subtitles. Albert is annoying, but could do a lot worse like Buck or Colinsworth so not going to complain lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildbunny Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I was expecting John Henson and John Anderson from total wipeout considering our play level these late years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgold Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Portis: This is preseason. Why you playing? Aren't you afraid to get hurt. You shouldn't be practicing neither. Maybe you could pretend to get a hamstring. Man, use the first three games of the regular season to get in shape. You'll start looking okay by week 6 and then wear out by game 10, but that's okay. Season's over by 10 any way. I hate preseason. Don't you hate preseason. Man, I hate preseason. They don't even pay you in preseason. Why you got to do anything if they don't pay you. Hey? I should be covering the sidelines from Florida. I can phone it in. I always phoned it in during the preseason except that one time I got hurt. After that, I was like "I'm done" This is stupid. You realize how stupid you are going all out in preseason. You go faster than a jog and don't lay down if you see a tackler within five yards of you... I'm laughing. I swear I'm laughing at you. Back to you, Kenny, Joe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosher Ham Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Portis has become much more articulate. I think he lives in Charlotte now, I seem to hear him on local sports radio during the season. His take on certain things is pretty spot on and seems to be honest (unlike some other folks). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExoDus84 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I usually buy the NFL preseason pass, but for the last two years, every game had the opposing team's announcers. It was incredibly annoying listening to. I might buy it again this year, but I would really prefer to hear a Redskins broadcast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RabidFan Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I'll take Portis over Ken Harvey anyday....and i'll take anyone over Lavar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I usually buy the NFL preseason pass, but for the last two years, every game had the opposing team's announcers. It was incredibly annoying listening to. I might buy it again this year, but I would really prefer to hear a Redskins broadcast. Same problem. I mean, if they're not going to give you a choice, then how about always picking the home team, or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC9 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 First thing I thought of when I heard CP was going to join the broadcast team was how much further behind the delay will have to be now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
