Freddie's Dead Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Phyllis George had to endure some of the most vicious sexual harassment ever from her male colleagues at CBS. For that she is to be commended, as she clearly was a trailblazer for female sports correspondents. Her husband? Not so much. He destroyed the Braves and my youth. RIP Phyllis George. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I echo your sentiments, FredEx. I was as big a Braves fan as they come (as evidenced by my 2ForMacAdoo name). Dad shared season tickets with 3 other families so we essentially went to 10 home games a year. I was scarred for life when the Braves were moved (and have feared ever since that the same fate would befall the Bills). I cannot stomach even the name John Y Brown. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's an article that exposes ALL the villains. John Y Brown was just the last in the list. Believe it or not, Canisius actually had a huge hand in why the Braves left. https://buffalonews.com/2016/04/22/braves-came-buffalo-left/ Edited May 18, 2020 by Freddie's Dead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody ever gave a ***** about Canisius unless there were playing a good Niagara or St. Bonaventure team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An all time great, with humor, knowledge, and enthusiasm. Well, OK. To each their own. All I know is, during the NCAA basketball finals in 1990 I was saying (loudly as it turns out) Brent needs to be fired, at the restaurant across the way from CBS in LA. He was becoming increasingly God awful at calling the games and it was pissing me off. I thought he was fired on the Tuesday after the final game, and always felt a little guilty--as if my anti-Brent tirade might have had something to do with it. As it turned out, he was told before the game, so I had nothing to do with it. I could enjoy the result, guilt-free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a solid article, but I have to say the last sentence completely undermines the article's efforts to portray Paul Snyder as anything but an #######.

I'm guessing he'll stay on since he lives in Las Vegas & was commuting to broadcast the games in Oakland. I would have never guessed that he lives in Vegas , my man casually throws out betting lines during his broadcasts ?

Paup 1995MVP Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 There you go. Almost brings me chills. I think they should have Brent do Monday Nite Football with Louis Riddick and Kurt Warner as analysts. He is still excellent broadcasting in his unique way. I hated Joe Tessitore. My God I found him annoying. Tries to make every game the Super Bowl. Just give basic play by play and let the game speak for itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
