Wings_Fan_In_Exile 3 Report post Posted December 31, 2008 (edited) Maybe we won't have to hear about Crosby as much. This probably doesn't deserve its own thread, but I dislike Emerick just enough to post this. On a side note I don't take pleasure in him being sick, no, but absent, yes.

Datsyerberger 279 Report post Posted December 31, 2008 Who cares that Crosby will/won't be mentioned more... you mean I don't have to hear the word "back" and such weird directional statements as "around back behind" and "back in forward" every other sentence? SWEET ******* GOD, YES! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wings_Fan_In_Exile 3 Report post Posted December 31, 2008 Just looking for a new reason to rip on Crosby? I just loathe Emerick THAT much with his Crosby love among the more detestable traits. And no, I don't blame Crosby for the media's infatuation with him. To be honest he seems to handle it pretty well overall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Z and D for the C 712 Report post Posted December 31, 2008 I don't think Mike Emerick is a crosby lover by any means, just the people who join him on the telecast. I like the Doc a lot actually, I'm kinda disappointed that he won't be calling the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jedi 1,865 Report post Posted December 31, 2008 Damn... and I was all set to have a drinking game everytime I heard Doc say "*insert player's name* with a DRIVE!!!" Dave Strader is a terrific choice for the play by play, no doubt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sjradio 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2008 A little more balanced broadcast for tomorrow, Ed Olychk - Hawks color guy. Dave Strader - Former Wings play by play guy.... (Man I miss those old broadcasts on PASS Sports) Much better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SFwingsfan 23 Report post Posted December 31, 2008 (edited) I am not suprised about this at all, once Doc realized Crosby wasn't playing in this game he cried himself hoarse. Dave Strader is the best guy to do this game other than Ken Daniels of course. Edited December 31, 2008 by SFwingsfan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah but Shoreline as I posted in the GDT, it's fair because of Strader's massive Detroit favortism when doing NBC / VS games. Hey by the way how's the weather in Bay Area today? I just moved here (Chicago) after living in SF for three years. I miss it every friggin day man...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted December 31, 2008 What's so bad about Doc? Are there any commentators people here approve of other than our own homer announcers?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey by the way how's the weather in Bay Area today? I just moved here (Chicago) after living in SF for three years. I miss it every friggin day man...... Cold. I actually have a small bit of sore throat. It'll wash away with the alcohol I'm sure. Sucks to hear you moved though. I can only ask, "why, oh why?". What's so bad about Doc? Are there any commentators people here approve of other than our own homer announcers?? I'd be happier with Strader and no color commentary. Stick to calling the same, no yapping. Or, just bring on pretty much any group of announcers from the usual Canadian broadcasts. Miller/Maguire, Bowen and whoever, Jim Hughson and whoever. They tend to call the game faaaar more often than these country club folks. Edited December 31, 2008 by Shoreline Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like the Doc a lot actually, I'm kinda disappointed that he won't be calling the game.Now that I think about it, that is my true beef with NBC/Versus broadcasts. The combo of Olczyk, Mcguire and Emerick is what gets me.. All three bring a unique quality of annoying. What's so bad about Doc? Are there any commentators people here approve of other than our own homer announcers?? Darren Pang, Harry Neil and his counterpart that I can't remember the name of at the moment, Bill Clement to name a few. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
