G&T Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Great news. I'm going to hope that this means the beginning of the end of either Singleton or Jackson in the coming years. Don't try to talk sense into me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilJester99 Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 I wish we could have had a pairing of Rooney and Stoney.....man that would have been sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G&T Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 19, 2007 -> 03:11 PM) DJ and Chris are fine. Farmer is the problem. If DJ was fine, the broadcasts with Hawk and Stone would not have sounded so great in comparison. And if Singleton was fine, it wouldn't take him 10 minutes to spit a sentence out. I'll give Singleton another season to improve, but I don't care much for him. Farmer is not a great play-by-play guy, but it might be easier on him if he could concentrate on calling the game and not making Singleton talk. In any event, Stone will help the booth.

WCSox Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 19, 2007 -> 12:11 PM) DJ and Chris are fine. Farmer is the problem. The problem with Farmer is that he's a color guy (and a pretty good one) trying to be a play-by-play guy. DJ is pretty decent, especially when he's not working with Hawk. Chris has not adjusted well to this field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsideirish Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 DJ and Chris are fine. Farmer is the problem. Bulls***. DJ is the worst in the business. Farmer is actually pretty good and can be amusing. He complemented Rooney very well and they were a great broadcast team. Singleton is not bad and definitely not as bad as DJ, but he can definitely be upgraded. Farmer is definitely not the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't heard anyone as bad as him. He made Chip Caray tolerable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchetman Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 You almost gave me a coronary before I saw the Friday qualification. That's still good news though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Is Gameday Audio for this year on sale yet? They just made a sale. After last year I was considering not buying this year. This is intelligent marketing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsideirish71 Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Maybe Hawk can retire after this year, and we can move Stoney into the TV booth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Any idea who controls this decision? The team or the radio station? Because I'd like to send a thank you email. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could be something they are looking at longterm. I really enjoyed Stone with Hawk. I'd be interested to hear how he'd do with DJ or Singleton. I did my first high school basketball game on the radio last night, doing color commentary. It's hard to make sure you talk enough but not too much.

And Hawk and Stoney would be fun to listen to only to see if they can fit both egos into the booth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't heard anyone as bad as him. He made Chip Caray tolerable. So you've actually heard DJ without Hawk? Because I heard him do a national game last year with someone else, and I have to say, I thought he sounded pretty good. I think Hawk is what destroys DJ, really. Those two just have zero chemistry of any kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchetman Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 For those of you keeping score at home Stoney is 6 years younger than Hawk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
