tomur67 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Watched the Eagles-Ravens pre-season game with Ross Tucker ( who played a few games with the Bills) as the color analyst. You can tell he was well prepared as far as being able to discuss the rookies as well as the veterans. He was also good giving insights that only an ex-player would appreciate or would see as a mistake. I think he was very entertaining and could be headed for more nationwide popularity.

You should check out his Twitter. He's a super solid football brain- He's also on Move the Sticks pod regularly and does well. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Romes Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Agreed. I didn’t like him at first on Sirius NFL radio - kind of an annoying voice - but he has grown on me over the years. Princeton grad. He has not been on Sirius for a few weeks. Hopefully that’s just temporary and he’s focusing on broadcast prep just for the season.

Phil The Thrill Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 I used to listen to him on NFL Radio on Sirius before I realized the Sirius was a tremendous ripoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigK14094 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Tucker was a journeyman lineman, played in the league a while. And, he is capable as an announcer as well . I always prefer ex players who know their stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan in Cleveland Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 He is very solid as an analyst. His voice is a little annoying though. I can't figure out the muddled accent but it almost sounds like he is half asleep when he is talking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royale with Cheese Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Be fills in at Dan Patrick and does a really good job. If he got his own show, I would listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codyny13 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 I really miss his 6:00 am slot on Sirius radio. He was my commute to work guy. One morning he just said “this is my last day’” and they still haven’t replaced him months later. They still just replay the late night show. I think he will be good in whichever endeavor he takes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frogger Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 (edited) Check out his podcast, very good. when he and Booger did the show together it was great. MNF should add Tuck to the lineup. they replaced him on SiriusXM with maybe the worst broadcaster I’ve ever heard, Charlie Weis.

His podcast is very good, but it’s not the same as the inability to call in and have a dialogue. He’ll be successful whatever he does in broadcasting. He should be on the national shows during the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aireskoi Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Tucker said his contract was not renewed so he was gone. I'm a little suspicious because he really went off on Julian Edleman (not directly to him) one morning calling him a cheater and said he will always think of him that way because he cheated (PED) but Ross never did. I was shocked that he was being so honest about his feelings regarding PED's, because he really hammered Edleman along the way. I'm sure some of you heard that. Anyways the next thing I know Ross is gone, then they do a "town hall" special interview with Edleman hosted by Jim Miller, and run it for weeks. They must have replayed the hour long interview 20 times over 2 or more weeks. Very unusual for Sirius to replay something so much when they have on demand. I skipped them all, I have no idea what was discussed in the "town hall". Coincidence? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoPar_v2 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Ross has been great on the radio for years. Shame he got canned for calling a spade a spade. Can’t criticize those darling Pats*!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a lot of give and take, but it’s the only time with the exception to Quinn and his brother in law AJ Hawk, where there was chemistry on SiriusXM NFL. I never thought Booger and Tuck disliked each other, just banter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
