I will never complain about our announcers again.
 
By coincidence, I have now seen two Cardinals preseason games with their hometown announcing team. Their color guy is Ron Wolfley, who used to be a fullback for them and I think a couple of other teams.

It's almost impossible to fathom this, and I never thought I would utter these words, but Wolfley may actually be a worse announcer than Randy Cross. This guy is scary bad. It's like listening to a WWE wrestler who got an honorary Ph.D. and thinks he should now use big words. Plus, he gives nicknames like crazy that are terrible, uses metaphors that are abominable, and likes to use "insider" language that I don't think is real.

He just described a receiver as "a ladder with lips". I am at a loss to describe how bad this guy is. He's the announcing equivalent of ... well ... the Arizona Cardinals.

You should hear Fouts trying to do play by play.

Rain Man 08-24-2013 10:54 PM

"Sometimes you're the paddle and sometimes you're the pledge." Wolfley likes alliteration.

I'd like to hear Bernie Kosar do a game, too. It seems like he could be entertaining in a train wreck sort of way.

Definitely, Rain Man. This guy is over-the-top and just tries to string together unrelated words to describe events.

He's the NFL equivalent of Rex Hudler for the Royals. But he may actually be WORSE than our Hud!

Speaking of Rex is that really his voice? Lol sounds like he's pushing out a turd

LMAO I heard that one. I actually like that analogy but his voice is so bland, I can't for the life of me understand why anyone would think he'd be a good color commentator.

I heard this too. It was so bad it was really the only reason I didn't change the channel!

Hudler is a top ten all time announcer.

LiveSteam 08-25-2013 10:01 AM

He sounds just like Jesse

The Steelers preseason announcing guys were pretty blah as well.

Dayze 08-25-2013 10:31 AM

You guys don't know how lucky you are you didn't have to listen to this crew. The play-by-play guy called the blocked FG a blocked punt three times. Chiefs have a new pass rusher as well his name is Hamba Tali. :doh!:

Eleazar 08-25-2013 10:41 AM

I thought the guy sounded like Jesse the Body too. It reminded me of that first XFL game where Jesse was color on the TV broadcast
