Lets talk about Frank Frangie (and how terrible he is at his job as play by play man)

#56

Quote:That's a good way to put it.  He's basically faking it for the microphones.  Years ago they did a bit in the stadium where people would sit in a tent before the games and do the play call for a big Jaguars play, and the best of those would wind up on the jumbos during the game.  There were people who participated in this, including small children, who sounded more authentic than Frangie.

 

JP Shadrick did great p-b-p for the Suns in the day.  He's also a really good guy.  He'd probably do very well in that seat for the Jags.  Unfortunately, he's an employee of the Jaguars, and the contract for the p-b-p position is owned by 7 Bridges. 

 

They paid a premium to get Frangie plugged in there.  I don't expect to see him relinquish that without a fight.  It'll be up to the Jags to evaluate the situation when the season is over, and for them to determine if they're satisfied with the product in the booth.  One thing is for sure, the only person on the planet who could make Tony Boselli tolerable in the radio booth is Frank Frangie. 
 

Oh my god. I've never been one to listen to the radio at a game as I sit with friends/relatives and we're too busy being geniuses after the fact. But based on all these posts I'll need to give Frangie a listen. It may be entertaining in a cringe-worthy sort of way.

 

Props to Boselli for all he's done for the Jags pr-wise, but I have a hard time handling him on radio or tv as an "analyst". If Frangie makes him sound good I'm in for a special treat.

The sun's not yellow, it's chicken.
