Pine Barrens Mafia Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 That's some operation. I'm assuming the guy in the middle is the spotter? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsShredder83 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 I always wondered how play by play guys were so on top of everything, they have some spotter help! Also, it's so weird to hear how quiet it is inside the booth with commentary, without the stadium track mixed in haha these guys have cool jobs, and it's def not as easy as most ppl would assume 1 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if he's ever tempted to write "I like your tie today" or "Baldy likes you" on them? You could certainly have some fun amongst the organised chaos. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Romes Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 You have weird things like a super-high play-by-play booth and tiny locker rooms (see McD victory speech) when you have an ancient 50 year old stadium. Wonder why the league allowed the chiefs to get away with a coat of paint on an ancient stadium rather than force them to build a new one.

ToGoGo Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 1 hour ago, Virgil said: Are they really that far away from the action? I get that they have monitors, but that's a crap view Agree. They're too insulated from the crowd and the audience at home. Keep that in mind next time they tell us what a penalty is or isn't or who is having a good game and who isn't. They genuinely might not have any better a vantage point to make that decision than a knowledgeable fan sitting on the couch or in the 100 section.

Wonder why the league allowed the chiefs to get away with a coat of paint on an ancient stadium rather than force them to build a new one. OK, so this is a response to the criticism of the Bills stadium's visitor's locker room. Of course the visitor's room will be smaller and not as nice as the home room, since the home team uses their room every day. But the visitor's room ought to meet some kind of league standards for space, showers, toilets, etc. Whether it's the Bill's stadium or any other, there's no excuse for treating professional athletes in a substandard way.

Dan Darragh Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Having grown up on radio sports I can tell you that the most impressive performance is from hockey play-by-play guys. The game moves so fast you don't have time to consult your notes or look up a guy's uniform number. When I was a kid in Rochester the guy doing the Amerks radio was alone in the booth, no color guy. If I had to do it I'd have a splitting headache after the first period and maybe a stroke before the end of the second. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Einstein Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 I listened to Murph’s call of the games key plays and like usual was so disappointed. Going from Van Miller to Murph was such a step down that it’s akin to going from Josh Allen to Nate Peterman. Thank you for posting this. Nice to hear a quality radio play by play of this amazing drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
