Announcers

[calsnowskier]

K&K are almost done. I wouldn’t be shocked to hear one or both of them retire after this season, but I am ignorant about their current contracts, so who knows.

Jon is still great, but is getting older and he is bound to want to slow down EVENTUALLY.

Flem is great, but he is constantly getting pulled in multiple directions. It isn’t out of the realm that he will walk from the Giants to open his schedule to his other opportunities.

So what will the team look like in the coming years?

I think Pence is primed to be an anchor color guy. He is still raw, but he is 1000x better now than he was just a couple years ago. He has real potential.

Lopez is solid, but pretty dull. He has livened up a bit in the last few years, but he is still too vanilla to be a TOP guy, imho.

Estes is a pro, but very forgettable. As is FP. And Ritzo. And Winn.

Will the Giants need to pull from outside the org to replace K&K?

I wonder if they give Flem all the money?

That would seem to be the best solution. Add in Pence and Lopey and I think we have a really good team

I really like FP, hope he can land at least a semi position as color. IMO Flem and FP make a solid team

Both K&K are finalists for the Ford C Frick award (HOF for announcers).

Not a first for either. They have never inducted a “pair”, and they typically only induct 1 per year. But seeing both nom’d together excites the old rasslin’ fan in me, thinking they are setting up for the big twist at the PPV.

They've got to go in together...

It would be the right thing to do.

For me the only pair of Announcers I loved as much are Jerry Remy and Don Orsillo

Living in San Diego, I got slightly exposed to Orsillo…

My gawd is he horrible.
