That's what the home teams wants, home town announcers that are pulling for their team. If fans want no rooting interest broadcasters just listen to the national guys.

I dont think Sam is very good but I think Sonny has some decent insights because he talks to a lot of players.

Re: Larry, Sonny, and Sam- the radio trio must go

Maybe it was the year we made a run in the playoffs with Gibbs when Randy Thomas was on IR and he was in the booth with the guys and immediately the radio took on a whole new energy and direction -WHERE IS THAT ?!?!?! but the radio hasnt been insightful nor a pleasure to listen to. We need a more current fresher look IMO. Briing back a beloved ex-skin from my generation Sonny/Sam lost their appeal (I am still mad when Sonny wouldn't acknowledge me wearing a sOnny jersey at an away game).

Personally I think if the radio team doesnt have a voice worth listening to and can't be descriptive with what your seeing than I should have gone to the game b/c its not helping out. It would be nice if they changed it up I want to hear insightful experiences into football, redskins, and want to hear funny/good stories inbetween. Our guys have zero personality.Who knows maybe CP will retire and wants a weekend job.

We need redskins radio to get better b/c on every network there is a cowboy working for that station and they always overlook the positives and never offer anything unbiased. Unbiased or nonbiased idk

Re: Larry, Sonny, and Sam- the radio trio must go

Reading this thread makes me happy I just stick with the tv announcers, even though they did screw up big time yesterday by mistaking the Redskins 4th down as 5th down. I didn't notice that though as I was roughing it out at the game.

Re: Larry, Sonny, and Sam- the radio trio must go

Of course when and if Sonny and/or Sam are fired, some moron will say "Look at Snyder, showing no loyalty to Redskins tradition"

Sam Huff needs to go. Now. No question about it. He's beyond awful.

That's a given.

Would they get fired though? Seems that Danny will let them hang on as long as they want. He's tight with Sonny right?

I'm sure everybody understands that the guy who will replace them is named Joe Theismann.

I've never had a big problem with Joey T. myself, he would be an upgrade over S&S.

On a side note does Sonny still hate Theismann's guts? Would be interesting if JT was hired to replace Huff.

Personally, I'd like to see Doc Walker and maybe --big maybe-- BMitch give it a shot. But Joey T. would do a good job for sure.

Re: Larry, Sonny, and Sam- the radio trio must go

Sonny_J is a keeper, nobody really understands the Redskins Organization better.
Sam Huff, while a cherished Alum, has more negatives than positives. It would be great to have Joe Bugel or Richie Petibone try a guest appearance with Sonny - it would be entertaining.
Larry Michael is no Frank Herzog when it comes to play-by-play.

A sample of the genius of this booth:
