southsider2k5 Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 Damon Andrews-meh Good luck to the guy and all, but I think he was pretty mediocre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnB Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 The FSN pre/post shows are downright awful. They care more about making a bad play on words than actually putting on a good show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greasywheels121 Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 I thought he was kind of entertaining. He helped lighten things up and keep them going, because I know Bill Melton is a fan favorite. However, he's not the best TV guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RibbieRubarb Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 Is he taking over for former WGN Morning News Sports anchor Bill Weir? He just left LA to join Good Morning America. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 Thank god. I couldn't stand Andrews. He tries too hard to be funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDsDirtySox Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 This move comes as really no surprise. Fox Sports Net will be NOTHING in 6 months, so all the workers better start looking for a job. Comcast has started its search for filling there network spots... and word on the street is that they don't have much interest in anyone from Fox Sports Chicago. I have heard Gary Miller from ESPN is the lead canidate to be the lead anchor for Comcast Chicago. I also think some good additions would be Dan Bernstein, and Dan Jiggetts. Who else would you guys like to see on Comcast Chicago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxin' Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 Yeah he really tries to be funny and make a play on words, but I don't think I've laughed once during a show with him in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDsDirtySox Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 Dave. BTW JD.. you going tonight? Yes Steff, I am going tonight. I traded my seats for last night and tonights game, for four in the row right behind the Sox dugout. I am contemplating making a SOXTALK sign for all our buddies who will be watching the game on TV... just wondering if its worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JimH Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 Dave who, Dave Wills? He is very good on the radio. I admit to liking Damon Andrews when the Sox win, he sounds like he's just had a cold beer or two - and I like the "Feldco ... Window of ... opportuni-tay". He seems like a nice guy and I wish him well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
