Not sure I heard it right, but I think John Murphy talked about Kelso having interests in NASCAR that he was going to give more focus. I have no idea in what capacity that would be. Kelso is not the most charismatic of color analysts, but he's very smart and insightful about what's happening on the field. I think Eric Wood is more personable. We'll see how insightful he is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiseman3 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I happen to enjoy Murph, when I have to listen on the radio I like the announcers to be lively and in to it. Maybe im in the minority. But Wood seems very level headed and calm/cool so it could be a good balance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelso/Tasker were A+ on the substance but ok on the style. 1 Tasker is awful on substance, too. He knows football but he very often says, "Watch this" and you watch and it is that.

LabattBlue Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I don't know if Murph broke this bad habit, and unless I'm in the car during a game(which is rare), I don't listen...but if the Bills had the ball in their opponents territory(say at the 45), and make a play to the 30, Murph would say...and there's a pass completion UP to the 30. No dumbass...that would be a pass completion DOWN to the 30. Really annoying and he used to do it repeatedly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adjust your time gap with DVR you’ll be ?. kinda depends on the radio stream. If your using Sirius Atnenna usually find sunday ticket feed is 9 seconds ahead of radio. I pause the kickoff at point the kicker is about to hit ball and listen for the pop and start play. usually works like a champ. I have found any other stream internet based feeds will require some resynching after commercials. Usually on Sirius Internet radio the feed is 1:30 behind but once adjusted your good. Wish the device like my stereo would be able to detect this and sync it for me ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I listen that often, but I always thought Kelso was horrible. I got the sense that, as you say, he really knew his stuff. He understood the plays, especially the pass routes and coverages, and he understood the key elements of plays. His problem, so far as I was concerned, was that he couldn't distill what he knew into a couple of short simple sentences. He recited everything that happened - "this guy went here, then that guy went there, so the third guy could curl under while the QB was pumpfaking, and then the tackle slipped out but missed the block on the linebacker so the QB had to dump the ball off to McCoy for a two-yard gain." He simply didn't have professional level broadcasting skills. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sherpa Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 I thought Wood was really good. Great timing. Great observations. I thought Kelso was always a bit too descriptive, rushing to get too much information in. I was very impressed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
