Park is a horrible play-by-play guy it would be great if he left

 

[Orijinal]

Matt Park's strength is definitely not play by play, especially if your are trying to figure things out while listening to the football game on the radio. He also has some personal demons he battles, but I think Matt Park is fantastic other than those things.

I continue to pray he can get a hold of his own health. It's obvious something is not right there. I really like listening to him do interviews and hope he can do it for many years to come

What do people dislike about Matt Park?

He's bad for radio calls, he calls it like we're watching on TV. His voice sounds like a giant glass of nasal mucus behind the mic.

I think people need to hop on xm and listen to other schools and then decide how bad he is.

He’s by the far the worst I’ve experienced. Surprised he still has his job

I have. And yes, there are some really bad announcing teams out there. But, for most of them, I at least knew where the football is on the field of play and how many yards were gained or lost on a play.
It's often total guesswork when listening to SU games on the radio.

Why not be both?

This is an Internet phenomenon. People think they’re perfect and everyone else stinks and voice their opinions on social media, comments, etc.

Truer words have never been spoken.

Tom Brady's arrival on the Fox NFL team in 2024 essentially meant he effectively booted Moose Johnston from the # 2 crew...

I would love to get Moose as a play-by-play guy for the Cuse and it would be great to have a former fullback of his caliber in and around the program more.

It think he's also EVP for the UFL, so maybe that's a pipe dream??

Either way...

I don't listen to many games on the radio but I did once after several pointed this out just to hear for myself. It is definitely an issue.

I think people should hop on FM and listen to WAER.

Just wondering do think Matt is good ?

 

[djorange1989]

I don’t worry about him as an announcer. I worry that he is going to stroke out. I know he has some issues and he just looks bad. Hope he will be ok

No idea. I don't listen to him much

That would be amazing. The reality is it hasn’t happened much in our history that men’s basketball and football were both dominant. So it usually is one or the other that is celebrated in any given year

THIS. I got 3 free months of Sirius 3-4 years ago when I bought a new car. Kept it ever since because of pretty much every major game always being on... The initial complaint seemed to be Park being too much of a homer. I got news for you with some of the other guys across the country...

That's all well and good if you're local. Many of us can only get the games on the Orange sports network.
