hail2skins Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Was looking at some comments on Czabe's Twitter thread and someone mentioned that "Suzie Sunshine (Larry) and Cooley were ready to murder someone, if not each other." Another comment indicated that Doc sad that "those that left early have learned their lesson, will maybe think twice next time." God, I hope this was sarcasm.

Warhead36 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Cooley is good. Michael is a corporate schill and Doc is just a walking angry old guy filled with cliches(but he's fun when the team is good and he can talk smack about the other team).

Vanguard Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I’d like to listen to Cooley and those guys on game days, but the delay is terrible. And yes Doc is old. Still good to listen to though. Brian Mitchell always jokes that Doc played with Methuselah. 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurf3 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Actually tuned in briefly yesterday to see if the delay between radio and TV was still there and to see if there was still any way that Larry was still able to sugar coat the Redskins performance. Best he could do was ask if anyone could have seen how bad the team has become after the great promise during the off season. To which the response was, what great promise? TV announcers did a better job after Guice's TD by saying that this is what 'Skins fans have to look forward to. Just wait 'til next year and another off season full of promise.

BatteredFanSyndrome Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I actually caught a bit of the radio broadcast yesterday, for the first time in a long time. I had to run to pickup some food and turned it on when I hopped in the car. I can't recall the last time I left during the middle of a Skins game to go do anything, in years past we would have starved until 4:30. It was some sad, sad stuff. I feel sorry for the broadcast team trying to do their jobs. Doc was saying he wished they'd let him go talk to the team at halftime, implying that he'd be screaming and cursing. I literally don't know what the gang could possibly do to make the broadcast better. It's just hard when you are calling a bad football game, with two bad teams, in a half empty stadium, in a game nobody cares about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the radio ahead? If the TV is, pause it a few seconds and it should be close enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radio is always ahead about 30 seconds or so, I don't know it that's for censoring or just the technology of TV vs. radio. I actually like it. It's time enough to turn around and look at the TV when I want to see what they're excited about while paying attention to something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not paying rapt attn to the game on tv. This way you can do something productive during the game and then “tune in” if something interesting takes place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky21 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 For the first time in as long as I can remember, the broadcast of the Redskins game was not on the radio in Richmond yesterday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisenberg Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Larry Michael is still doing the broadcast. So you still get unbelievably head scratching commentary like "I gotta tell you Cooley, I didn't see this one coming at all" even though anyone who has watched the team this year could have told you this was a very probably outcome.

DazedSkinsfan Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Am I the only one that finds Larry Michael extremely annoying? I know hes a corporate homer but something just screams sleezeball everytime I see or hear him. He might be a really nice guy but theres just something about the guy I don't like.

I mean, picking on Larry is pretty boring at this point. But I listened to a bit of the postgame show yesterday, and he sounded like he was covering the undefeated Patriots following that Super Bowl loss to the Giants. Just utterly flummoxed that they lost the game. It made me realize that he is not a corporate shill. He actually truly believes that this team is good and does not understand on any level how they lost to the Jets yesterday. It was almost poignant.

Tsailand Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Larry is an ****ing tool. This is how he introduced the segment on Sunday where Riggins predicts the winner: "Well Riggo, you've been brutally honest with your picks this year. I'm not sure what your record is, but I know I'm 1-8, because I always pick the Redskins to win." **** that guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dissident2 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I'd also be interested in thoughts from those who listened. I heard bits and pieces of the pregame, and I heard some of the highlight calls after the game. Those highlight calls were not good, as everyone was talking over each other. Bram seemed decent, though, better than I expected. The other two just need to learn to shut up for at least a few seconds and let the play by play guy make his call before babbling.

SprintBomb Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 In my opinion I thought it was average at best. It sounded a bit like a minor league sports broadcast. Maybe they just need more time to build chemistry. I think Bram did a good job and has a decent broadcast voice. As creepy of a person as Larry is, the guy had a good voice and delivery. D Hall just doesn't compare to Sonny or Cooley but I'm sure will improve. Julie doesn't add much and sounds out of place. She does a great job moderating a talk show but not sure about a live game broadcast. I think time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psu2008 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 It sucked. Bram is OK, but just doesn’t have a good voice for it. DHall and Julie sounded like fans just cheering in the booth. All Julie said was “There you go!” on any good play. The color commentary was awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCA77 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 I listened to it off and on. Bram sounded better than I thought but the other two were not good. Amateur hour. Everyone talking over everyone. I'd say D- at best. Nothing like the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
