Bengals Deserve Professional Broadcasters

[fess]

Thank God all the home games are sold out and on TV. Brad J is so much in love with his own voice, it must kill him to try and out-scream Lapham. Phil Samp must be turning over in his grave. Now there was a pro. DESCRIBE THE GAME boys, or else join the Ben-gals on the sideline. And, when was the last time Lap ever ASKED a question in a post game interview, instead of making statements and rattling off useless statistics.

I'd rather hear Don Criqui (back when Cincy games were the CBS "E" or "F" game each week) than those two....

Even as a die-hard Bengals fan it's hard to notice the lack of energy on Bengals broadcasts that there are on many other teams' networks. Johansen is waaaay too laid back. I may be in the minority here but I'm a big Lapham fan. He's Mr. Bengal as far as I'm concerned. I do, however, notice his lack of actual questions in any interview.
Of all our announcers since Phil Samp left, my favorite was far and away Paul Keels. Wasn't a Ken Broo fan and Pete Arbogast was, well, just eh. Those things said, I don't know of any real viable alternatives to the current team.

I've listened to the game and they do a good job of describing the game and keeping excitement. I hate people like you that have to find something to bitch about when it comes to the Bengals, just like the idiot in the paper who said that the win against the Browns was not a "proud" victory.

I'll second what Tito says.
