I pity folks that have to rely on these dudes calling a game. We have to have a former Bengal that can do better than this. NYG have Bob Poppa who is also a National, why can't someone better. Hell, Bob Trumphy is still around.

FWIW: I've listened to them 2 games this year. Our only win and the game we locked up #1 overall. So maybe I should take one for the team next week and listen to these idiots so we beat the Browns.

Sometimes he cracks me up with his corny Lap-isms. He kinda reminds me of John Madden that way. As for Hoard, he's decent but I definitely liked Brad Johansen better. Of course, they fired Johansen for asking a tough question.

Fwiw, I don't pick and choose whether or not I like someone based on their opinions on a certain player...and Lap may have been wrong about some things he said about Gresh, but he was also spot on as far as how the team viewed him. He wasn't popular. That's why Marv said after that season that Gresh was "a man of many many many many many moods" (and yes he said many that many times).

Also, Gresh is my least favorite Bengal of all time.  I couldnt stand him, sure there were far greater disappointments like Akili or Klimgler, but none were as infuriating as Gresham to me.  He was soft, he dropped easy balls, he wouldnt fight for those extra yards etc.  Just one of those guys with immense talent but without the work ethic or desire to get better

Hamilton treats every run scored by any indians player as if its the winning run in game 7 of the WS.  But the tribe fans worship him

Which included asking how long Marv's contract was, which drew the ire of Mikey. Then suddenly the Bengals decide to change out Johansen for Hoard due to "flexibility" that same off-season. Go figure.

Sounds like he is trying out for the other teams play by play guy I hope he gets the job too cause he is trash. Lap on the other hand is decent at what he does. Can not stand Horde either.

Speaking of preseason, I miss Paul Keels. It would be nice to hear him do the Ohio State games on Saturday and Bengals games on Sunday; I believe he is from Cincinnati also.
