Just say frunkin Bob and you will be ok. I love ya! I will miss him when he retires. This may be his last season. He is not only an outstanding announcer but a fan of the team. Stuff happens. Shocked he didn't drop an F bomb after that ridiculous Offensive PI call on Rogers.

Wthr said this evening that the FCC "may " fine him and the Colts radio networks up to 265,000 dollars for the slip. A slip he said himself he didn't realize he made and was extremely apologetic. 

well if he's getting paid right, that's only one year's salary.  maybe the network can split it with him.

anyone else hear him drop that f bomb? Hilarious.

 

He said "the game is finally f bomb over"

 

 

 

 

I did not hear that but honestly I like many shared that sentiment 100% IMO .

He's the best Indiana announcer we have ever had and it's not even close. Overall not sure where he ranks but at least Top 10 at worse probably. Mark Boyle is awesome too. We have had some great one's here.

Do you remember him in turn 4 at Indy?  The Marvin Johnson fight?  One of the best hockey fight and boxing announcers I have ever heard.

Better he slip the f word than a nip-slip. Nobody wants to see that

Lamey was awesome when he announced the Pacers. I remember as a kid I was always looked forward to listening to him on the radio.

I was in say 8th grade or so.  We went to a Pacers/Celtics game that Larry and the Celtics just were killing us.  Enter Billy Knight.

 

My friends dad said it is over, lets head out.  I was sad because I live the Pacers and watched Larry growing up.  We left.  Lamey was on radio, Billy Knight had 40 and Bird 46.

 

I was at home listening to the end of the Pacers WIN over the Celtics.  I think Billy ended up with 51 and Alex English about 38.  What a great broadcast that was.  3 overtimes by the way...:)

He almost said it years ago.   It finally slipped out.  Doesn't seem typical of him, but in those instances, his passion was running high.  Still can't be said on radio or TV, even though many were likely thinking the same things, even if it is not typical of them either.

 

Little fine, some time... all goes away.

At this point it's kind of a joke that it's not allowed. I hear that word 40 times a day. Not a big deal at all.

Bobs appeal is that he's one of us watching the game.  His emotions got the better of him he apologized time to move on IMO.

Yeah, not hearing Bob's voice inflections anymore during games, really makes me miss my XM satellite radio. So what if he swore over the air? It happens. He's just being passionate about Colt Football. Bob's a legend behind the mike. He's entitled to a dozen mistakes at least. A great guy.

I would be hugely disappointed in the FCC if he was fined that much.      It clearly was not deliberate,  he has no prior history of doing such things,  and he's extremely apologetic.....

 

That would be a giant over-reach by the FCC to fine an announcer like that. 

 

A miscarriage of justice.....

 

Hope it never happens......

When I listen to him I always think of a fan first and a broadcaster 2nd.  He really really likes the Colts, which I have always admired.  Some broadcasters don't really care so long as they are getting a paycheck.  I think Lamey would do it for nuttin.
