He's old school in the fact that he knows your WATCHING the game but calls it like your LISTENING. Big difference that a lot of these idiots don't get.

I could be wrong, but doesnt he do the TV and Radio for the Sabres?

Before Ted Darling died they split the tv and radio between the 2 of them (Darling TV, Rick J. for radio). For the last X amount of years they take the TV feed and broadcast it over the radio network. So yes he does both, and the main feed is from the TV broadcast, he still calls the games like a radio broadcast. Believe me, if he sucked I wouldn't bring him up. We had some crappy TV anouncers till they finaly brought Jenerette to TV full time.

Jim Robson.

I don't know why, but his special hello to hospital patients, shut-ins, and the blind, to pensioners and those people who can't get out to the game always cracked me up.

Shut-ins?

Open the damn door!

And what a beautiful beautiful game it was...thanks for reminding me

If anybody else is annoyed with Leaf-biased announers with annoying voices, do what I did-- put the T.V. on mute, and turn on the satellite radio...trust me, 100% better.

Cole and Neale were awful in tonight's Sens-Sabres game. :?

[ryan93]

I thought they were fine.

[robert goulet]

I thought they were fine too...I really don't know why people get so pissed off at them. EVERY announcer screws some names up...EVERY announcer plays homer to a certain extent, but very few have the "legend" component like they do...like it or not.

[tommygunn]

Cole very rarely called the action as it was happening.. he seemed to always tangent off talking about everything but the action as it was occurring. Maybe it's just me, but that's pretty annoying. :roll:

Yes, he's a legend, but if you listen to his calls of games years ago and compare them to recent games, it's extremely evident to notice that sadly, he's gone downhill.
