plenzmd1 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) Winner winner chicken dinner Don't know who that is and don't know how to google....but is that a pro wrassling guy? BTW, was watching news this morning and saw that poor dude in Mexicio died in the ring this weekend. This is hard to watch so be forewarned... http://deadspin.com/mexican-wrestling-star-perro-aguayo-jr-dies-after-in-r-1692824531 Edited March 23, 2015 by plenzmd1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordio Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Growing up it was Dick Enberg & Merlin Olson as his color man. They were always doing the 4:00 Sunday afternoon game, usually in the AFC West. I know I will take some ribbing for this but for my money right now I will take Gus Johnson. It is a shame he went over to Fox & doesn't do March Madness anymore. I think egos got in the way & Gus thought over played his hand a bit when he departed from CBS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May Day 10 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) Vin skully. Football. Van Miller not being a homer. The guy was the best at painting the picture and ratcheting up intensity preplay. You knew down, distance, players etc... Hockey- bob Cole... just the sound of his voice makes me feel like I'm in front of a fireplace on a Saturday night. Basketball- dick Vitale when he was fresh aND before he turned into a characture. It was authentic and new and you never knew what youd get Edited March 23, 2015 by May Day 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May Day 10 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I like RJ a great deal. IMO he hasnt really aged well behind the mic. It doesnt help that the NHL has become a pretty dull league night to night and the Sabres have been pretty bad for most of the last 8 years. Back in his heyday, every NHL game was on edge, never knew what could happen. A 5-1 game could turn exciting and fight filled. There was always a possibility of craziness and his edge put the excitement over the top. He does get points off though for being a little over the top when it came to complaining about officiating or making the other team into complete villians while the Sabres were somehow angels. Im really hoping we get another playoff run before RJ has to hang em up. Pete Webber was amazing PBP for the Bisons back in the day too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does the PBP for the Predators now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Day 10 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 yeah. He did the Sabres too briefly. I wasnt a real big fan of him for hockey. I am really glad he found such a long-term home for a major sports team. Very nice guy who cut his teeth right here. We got a good one as RJ's replacement. Dunleavy. Pretty much as good as they can do. I was a fan of Jim Rosenhaus back in the day. The radio for the Bisons. he does radio for the Indians and also hosts a few Indians-centric radio shows. Also does some random events on SPorts Time Ohio. I worked for the Bisons when he was there. I remember for many years he would send his resume/portfolio to MLB teams hoping to catch on for a job (his wife was with the Bisons too) and I remember how frustrating and discouraging it must have been for them. Im glad he found his way with Cleveland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually wanted to do baseball play-by-play because of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When i watched wrassling, it was WWF..loved Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby Heenen as the announcers. Monsoon and especially Bobby Heenan were greats too. Vince McMahon as a commentator is actually very underrated too. As silly as professional wrestling is, I was being dead serious when I brought up Jim Ross and you could throw in these other guys as well. Those guys were great at what they do, would love to hear them calling some football games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Charlie Jones was awesome on the Bills games. Good call....loved Charlie Jones doing AFC games back in the 80s and 90s. He called some big college games too. Doc Emrick on hockey Vin Scully on baseball Never cared for guys who were blatant homers. That's one reason why I can never watch or listen to a Yankees game.

RJ isn't a blatant homer, however his love for the team is apparent, and he has natural excitement when they score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffOrange Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Ah, it's time for my annual Sean McDonough appreciation post. Best in the biz. McDonough is great. Underutilized too @espn. I wish he'd have stayed @CBS; maybe he'd have Nantz's job. Monsoon and especially Bobby Heenan were greats too. Vince McMahon as a commentator is actually very underrated too. As silly as professional wrestling is, I was being dead serious when I brought up Jim Ross and you could throw in these other guys as well. Those guys were great at what they do, would love to hear them calling some football games Heenan is the GOAT announcer regardless of industry. I can listen to him all day.
