But I've heard this argument for years, about her voice. And in a performance driven industry, where results are ALWAYS the determining factor, she keeps getting bigger and bigger games. Agree to disagree. That's politics, not performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact the previous poster has heard the same criticisms about his friend, annoying voice and not getting players names correct, is indicative of your statement. Sad really.

26CornerBlitz Posted December 17, 2017 Author Share Posted December 17, 2017 I have no idea what the announcer is saying on the Spanish Language broadcast, but it's 100% better than listening to Mowins and Feely. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a Bills fan, I'm thrilled she's calling this. And if you don't like one of the hardest working announcer in sports, a CNYer who has been calling games nationally for a quarter of a century, well, respectfully suck it. But glad to be here! Your friend has a voice that was meant for silent films. Her "hard work" doesn't make her entertaining or particularly well-informed. Her one "observation" about how McCoy needed to change the way he carries the ball shows me she's never actually watched him run, he has always carried the ball like a loaf of bread. Hard-working doesn't compensate for a lack of talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have watched her do a game since, however, and I have grown to like her. I like her, she is not sexy but calls a good game and way better than Wrecks.

I for one like to watch a game with announcers that know the names of the players and don't laugh at the players I root for based on their playing tendencies. I also do not like to listen to annoying people when I watch my team. I guess we just have different standards. To each their own. I'm not a fan of mediocrity.
