doitny Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 3 hours ago, Bungaman said: Only the real superstar broadcasters make the big bucks and can afford to hold only one gig down. For years, Marv Albert announced for how many teams/events? When he got to the big time/national network level, he was then able to pick his spots, until his underwear modeling gig got him into some hot water. Somehow, that was a conflict. Nowadays, they might even pay him on OnlyFans. Funny you should bring up Marv. i was watching the last inning of the 86 WS last night and after the Mets won to my surprise it was Marv Albert on the field interviewing Ray Knight and Mookie Wilson. we all know he is the Knicks announcers and does the NBA but back then he was working the WS as a field reporter. amazing when you think about Vin Scully, Joe Garagiola and Marv Albert. 3 Legends working the 86 WS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn’t the voice of the Jets be exclusively focused on the Jets? You don’t see Bob Papa doing non Giants stuff. He wanted to witness winners.

I have not watched a baseball game on TV since 1996 when they cancelled the world series and for a long time I was a far bigger Mets fan than Jets fan and I was a big Jets fan from 69 on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not watched a baseball game on TV since 1996 when they cancelled the world series and for a long time I was a far bigger Mets fan than Jets fan and I was a big Jets fan from 69 on. I think if we did a poll we would find about 90% of Jet fans are Met fans. and i bet most of the Yankees fans are the guys who want to fire everyone after a year or 2. or think that we can get any player if we throw money at them. funny that now the roles will be reversed. Steve Cohn will be throwing the money around and Hal wont. they can kiss Aaron Judge goodbye. no way Hal will give him the money he wants. its going to take me a while to get used to not shopping at the dollar store anymore for the Mets.

y2k8 Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Of all the Jets radio play-by-play guys over the past 40 years, BW is by far my least favorite. So of course, he has had the job for 20 years just to spite me. At least he has calmed down on his imaginary "breaks a tackle" calls for Jets RBs that would drive me nuts. It was absurd when NFL films would layer his audio over footage. Spencer Ross the best, btw. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
