An overlooked thing from the Patriots loss in the AFCCG

....that was the final game called by Gil Santos, the voice of the Pats. I'm obviously not a fan of the Pats but he was a pretty good announcer to listen to.

 

Still think my favorite radio guy is Paul Allen (Vikings). I get fired up listening to this guy and I have next to no interest in the Vikings.

Gil will be missed. Especially if they replace him with Tanguay.

I listen to Paul Allen's radio program every day at work. If you can believe it he is always like that! It's pretty cool. But being like that he is a huge homer and is wrong quite often.

He is my favorite game announcer as well!

Wow, Gil Santos is done?

 

Sad. He was a great one.

Unfortunate that he will no longer be there, but all the best to him in the future

Here's a nice little tribute to "The Voice of the Patriots."

Its sad, he was a great announcer and I can still play his broadcast over in my head from the 2001 season   Good memories!

Good announcer. Remember when I was young we didn't have a TV set, so we had to listen to games on the radio.

Many times watching Patriots games through the years I would turn down the volume on the TV and turn on the radio to listen to Gil and Gino broadcasting the game. They will be hard to replace.

A very nice man there with a great booming voice. I listened to Gil Santos do a few Pats/Colts games on my Sirus Satellite Radio. He's a fantastic, play by play announcer & he was quite complementary of my Colts & the new direction of that team loaded with young talent, good coaching, & a franchise QB in Luck. Enjoy your retirement Mr. Santos you've definitely earned it. Good advice too: Watch the ref/zebra for confirmation not the roar of the crowd reaction. Thanks for posting this GoPats!

Well said Bogie! There is something about the mystique of the radio that HD TV & cellar fiber optics that just can't quite be captured in the same way radio does. On my Satellite radio, there is an entire channel devoted to old radio programs where people act out murder mysteries complete with voices, screams, sound effects, & creaking doors. It is so cool!  :dancing:
