Zip was great. What about Nuemier, and a guy I worked with at WLVI Crispino

He jumped the shark with that “Belichick’s comeuppance” crack after the Pats successfully pulled off the fake field goal for a TD against the Rams in 2004. I mean, the game was still close at the time, you know? Booth made it sound like the play was an insult to the integrity of the game and that BB was running up the score. It was a simple gadget play. Teams run them all the time…and the game was still relatively close if I recall correctly (not to mention the fact that the Rams were at home, the Pats’ defense was woefully shorthanded, and St. Louis still had one of the better offenses in the league at that time).

Booth was way too arrogant and haughty to be a sports guy IMO.

The Putt Putt Twins are superior you yahoo sports fans who stay up late, ride the Metco bus, and watch Bellichick run up the score and vote for evil commie liberals. Just get used to it and stop hating on their superior golf game.

Scott Wahle is the reason Bruce Glasier is still the anchor at WCSH6 in Portland, ME. Around 1980 Wahle left WCSH to do his first tour in the Boston market.

Oh yea, he also had to deal with anchor Bill Bonds who was the anchor and an absolute lunatic. Bonds actually challenged Mayor Coleman Young to a fistfight on TV. Hilarity ensued.

Shane was anchor at WXYZ in Detroit in the mid-80’s. He was excellent. Bernie Smilovitz might have been a little better but Shane was good.

In all seriousness, Fixaris was better then anybody Boston had, with maybe the exception of Gillis. He groomed a lot of talent that works in Boston and elsewhere today including, Mike Emerick, Dale Arnold(I know, a lot of people think he stinks), Jimmy Young, Tom Caron and Gordie Hershiser(Orel’s brother). He was no frills but precise and never seemed to ever fumble his words(like Lobel). He just had a new young following on local sports radio in Maine when he passed away in a fire almost two years ago.

Oh I’m sorry I thought this was the best sportscasters of Portland, ME. I’m sorry.

I’ll go out on a limb and say too much hate mail….plus the fact that to Callahan we are “mere props”
