Bucs Radio Network: Dear Whoever was the third man in the booth at games end

S

Studio20

What in the name of God was that train wreck that ended the game? I realize as a player you didn't listen to Bucs games on the radio because you were playing, but have you never, EVER listened to a game on the radio?

You shut up until the play by play man is done. And even then, you are the third man in the booth behind Dave Moore.

While you correctly predicted the final play, although so did almost everyone else...except the current Buccaneer defense, apparantly...those of us on the road who couldn't watch the game didn't need to hear "AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!" not once but twice while Gene Deckerhoff...I'm assuming he said something, but I couldn't hear it...called the games last play. And then twice you interrupted both men, proclaiming how you called it.

Memo to the producers: 10 years from now, when you get the 20th anniversary of the Super Bowl Victory, wrap up all the interviews with former players, coaches, swashbucklers, etc by the third quarter. This was terrible.
 
Exactly, he was saying something like "We're gonna call it" then it was "No waaaaaaaayyyyy!!" WTF was this guy doing there?
 
Warren Sapp was in there the whole game I think. I heard him on in the 1st too doing the same thing.

It was Derrick Brooks. Outside of what you are mentioning his insight during other parts of the fourth quarter was quite good. Jon Gruden was on earlier and you have never seen a man leave so fast when radio broke for commercial.
 
Was mentioned a few times today on DAE that it was Derrick Brooks. That was great to hear a sure fire hall of famer and one of the best ever to put on a Tampa Bay uniform act like a fan.

Um...Frank...with all due respect...acting like a fan is one thing...they're all homers and I'm not begrudging that...Frank...he stepped...no....stomped all over what Gene was trying to say. This is what Deckerhoff gets paid big bucks to do. Say what you will, this is an art form, and Brooks dumped paint all over the audio canvas.

Radio is one..voice..at...a...time.You don't run two commericals at the same time, nor two songs at the same time. This final play perhaps was a season changing event...that one play may very well have killed this season. Now of all the things you've done in the business, maybe producing play by play sports isn't one of them. Hall of Famer or not, what happened at the end of the game, from our business standpoint was inexcuseable. There needs to be some ground rules set when untrained jocks hit the booth. If you walked out on the field while Derrick Brooks was calling a defensive play and started interrupting him, you'd have a birds eye view of your colon.

This isn't Hudson vs Ridgewood on Friday night; heck it isn't even USF vs Ball State with the sleep inducing commentary they have. From a professional stand point, it was a sorry end to an otherwise good broadcast.
 
Just because you once might have been good on the field certainly doesn't mean you know your head from your ass in the broadcast booth.... OK.. there are some good former players who are decent in the broadcast booth, but the majority of announcers chose that field over the field in the 1st place for one reason or another. I have known Gene Deckerhoff since the early 1970's when he returned to broadcasting full time, and he has proven himself longer than ANY field player that he is and has been great at what he does for decades...His resume is greater than any player on the field and he has outlasted them by many, many years at what he does. The rest of the so called team needs to be quiet when when the team leader is going HIS job to the best of his ability... Follow his lead, rather than attempt to take over the game...Too bad Gene can't limit just who comes into his office, the broadcast booth a bit better...
 
Anyone have audio of this debacle? Figures the one weekend I'm not able to get a hold of a Bucs radio feed, something like this goes down... ::)
 
Lol,true. With all the fancy computer software, and advanced automation with no board ops I guess we do hear that from time to time...

A computer assists humans. It should not be the other way around. A computer has no ability nor desire to learn, nor is aware of its own self. It has no ability to think other than what it is told to do, "if - then" statements.

It can not hear.

ILS is a computer program interfacing with the airplane and the ability to fly and safely land the plane. But if something goes wrong, the human is there to immediately correct the abnormality. If I was told there was no human in the cockpit, I would not fly in that airplane. I like ILS.

General Schwarzkopf passed away the other day, none of the talk hosts mentioned it. It was only mentioned at the top and bottom news.

Woopee!

Jeff in Sa-ra-so-ta!
