Re: Less Huff In the Booth

Quite candidly there are few things I detest more about being a Redskins fan than having to listen to Sam Huff. And I'm generally not one to get all carried away with who the announcers are. But Huff is so beyond horrible it's repulsive. For over a decade Frank and Sonny and later Larry and Sonny have been covering for him far more than people realize. That it's radio is no excuse, there were many times when I (and am sure many others) had no other means but the radio broadcast to catch a game.

I totally respect what Sam Huff has meant for not only the Redskins but the NFL as a whole. He changed the game, no question about it. And it's naive to think that his aggressive play didn't at least have some impact on his "inabilities' today. But enought is enough. He 100% must go.

I don't think hes hurting anything, and I listen to at least half the games on the radio. Maybe his horrible game calling has paralleled the atrocities he's seen on the field the last 15 years(-Gibbs 2.0). Maybe RGIII and these boys can breath a little life back into the ol fart!! Lets have three cheers for Sam!!! lol

Yeah sorry no sympathy from me or excuses for him. He's absolutely awful in the broadcast booth.

They'll eventually have to replace him, if he becomes senile enough that he says something that garners enough attention. I think that's the best shot at this point.

Re: Less Huff In the Booth

Huff has been over due to retire for 10 years now. Put Cooley in their with Sunny and get a new play by play man to replace that brown nosing douche bag voiced Michaels.

Aikmen is a good color guy, though last year he seemed to have a few more post concussion moments. Which are sad really but you can hear it occasionally. I hated him as a Cowboy but he's really always gone out of his way to compliment the skins even sometimes when they werent merited. I've always wondered what people are listening to who say he rips on the skins. The skins have been a bad franchise for over a decade, the truth sometimes hurts, but I always got a sense that Aikman was trying to be fair and balanced.

somthing must be done. i was driving home yesterday trying to listen to some of the game but it's basically unlistenable for me at this point. i don't want to hear my granddad with dementia saying random one liners and everyone else just ignoring him while i'm trying to figure out what is going on. it really sounds like they all three hate each other, there is no flow to the game at all. and to top that off snyder needs to either get some legit broadacsting equipment or more antenna power so you can actually pick up a solid signal. i mean is that really too much to ask? not only do i have to hear sam ramble on about linebacker this linebacker that, i get inturupted by songs breaking in on the signal and that fuzzy am sounding crap. meanwhile you flip the station to 106.7 and charlie and dave have a top notch broadcast of the nats game. if the nats can do it right why the hell can't the skins? it's time for the redskins to revamp the radio broadcast, it's been over due for years now. and don't even get me started on how you can't get a signal in the damn parking lot at fedex. maybe it's time to rasie some money and rent some trucks.
