Simmons' podcast is the only one worth listening to, but it's getting old for me. Every time he mentions something from the tv show he insists on saying "on my eitch bee oh show". We get it, you have a TV show and it's on HBO. Congrats!

I said it a couple of months back, but Juliette Littman is the key to any podcast under any Simmons brand.  If I know she is on a podcast, it is easily worth the download.

Troy Aikman has got to cease talking all the way until the next snap.  Every f'n play.  Or he just needs to be demoted.  Or fired.

 

'I asked Russ about that earlier this week.  He says he wasn't sure, but he's gonna go out there & try those patterns with these select few guys they brought in late spring.' {ball snap}

Nas and Kevin Durant were on Any Given Sunday, and it was really good.

 

If Simmons becomes the Roy Firestone, or maybe Tom Snyder, of this Content Era, it might be a good thing. He might be onto something really interesting.

Dave Strader, known primarilty as one of the voices you're glad to hear instead of Doc Emrick when it's playoff time on NBCSN, is undergoing treatment for a rare and aggressive form of bile duct cancer. Hopefully he's back to call Stars games with Daryl Reaugh sooner than later.

For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head. Thats what it looks like to me. Also the flair around the tip of the beak is just flair that fleur de lis have sometimes source I am from NOLA.

I get that there isn't much time to make the change, but I don't know how well that setup is going to work. Razor's work is so polished as a color guy that I don't see him being all that great over all when it comes to doing the nuts-and-bolts PbP. Ludwig's never struck me as anything special during the intermissions, either.

That would make Razor the only former NHLer on play-by-play now that the Panthers demoted Randy Moller to bench reporter. He could probably get away with it on the TV side where the picture can tell the story, but I believe Dallas is still simulcasting.

 

Reaugh is obviously good at what he does, but there became this unbearable feedback loop regarding the "Ralph and Razor" team where everyone said they were the best because everyone said they were the best. I think part of it was low expectations for Dallas, which I'm guilty of myself when I say that Steve Goldstein is surprisingly good on the call for Florida while I wouldn't be so effusive were he working in Jersey. As best I can tell, Reaugh plumbs the same gregarious nature and colorful verbiage (one might say marketing-dept.-encouraged catchphrases) as Eddie Olczyk, so I've never understood how people can like the former but hate the latter. Definitely a good broadcasting team, but they didn't invent hockey.

♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫

I've rather enjoyed Ernie Johnson doing play by play for TBS this post-season.  His is a quieter yet entertaining voice all the same.  Not always the sharpest baseball eye, yet it's his lack of hijacking the game with boastful announcing which makes that tolerable.  He tends to sound like his priority is enjoying the game he's calling.  That's a very welcome trait.
