Thanks @bobsullender for the heads-up. First and only time I'll ever be referenced on a national radio show (starts at the 39:30 mark). I chuckled as they made it seem that I just happened to be there and jumped on air in the heat of the moment.

@ron_rinaldi @autano34 @awfulannouncing Agreed...and while we're at it, remove Bucci from any and all play-by-play duties (college, pro, women's, rec league, etc). Just brutal...

[Grady Whittenburg @RadioUFA]

@playoffriser_ @awfulannouncing True...have always noticed forever (beginning in the 80's when I bought a dish as I lived in the sticks with no cable) that Canadian feeds always have much more present ambient sound. Same mics, same placement, sooo much better up north.

US production just doesn't get it...

[Grady Whittenburg @RadioUFA]

@awfulannouncing Glorious nat sound...dedicated channel with this option, please!!!

[Grady Whittenburg @RadioUFA]

@wyshynski @roybelly @GoldenKnights Yes, just what the sports world is missing: more cliched drivel & empty calorie junk food quotes.

What I'd like to see in all sports is more in-game interviews, brain dead studio analysis and more post-game access...Said NO ONE EVER!!!

Feature reporting, sure. All else is BS.

@BlueInNC16 @otheredtoo @TomCaron Closer to 35 years ago if memory serves. '90-'91 I believe was the last year of on-campus Best-of-3 first rounds.

@Craigryb Good luck on the call today! 😉
My old eyes are glad I'm taking this one in as a fan in the stands today and not a broadcaster.

[Grady Whittenburg @RadioUFA]

@clahanna Since she is media, I'm thinking her "high demand" notation was meant from a media perspective. There's no mention of fan attendance as this event will obviously be sold out. But media interest around the world??? Low demand...not too hard to figure out. 🤷‍♂️

[Grady Whittenburg @RadioUFA]

@RocKnighthawks @Wegmans Coming off a bye week...zero effort tonight. Hope there's some long hard looks in the mirror because I'd like to believe this team is exponentially more talented than what the home crowd saw tonight. Brutal...

[Grady Whittenburg @RadioUFA]

@JoeChurrow @AnnouncersNHL Agree on the comparison, but tbh, that's an exceptionally low bar to surpass.

[Grady Whittenburg @RadioUFA]

@NHL @NHL_On_TNT @SportsonMax @Sportsnet Canadian TV producers really need to give a little friendly advice to their American counterparts on how to run the EFX feed on their broadcasts. Hard to believe 19k on hand in Ottawa and the TBS feed sounds like a library... embarrassing. Canadians just get it!!!

[Grady Whittenburg @RadioUFA]

@NLL @RocKnighthawks Rochester playing uncharacteristically poorly tonight, down 11-9 with 4:52 left in the game, but the officiating has been atrocious all game long.

Enjoying my vacation in Brownsville, TX. But as season ticket holder, I'm 1900 miles away from where I'd like to spend the next 2 1/2 hours cheering on the @RocKnighthawks during their stretch run heater.

Fortunately, ESPN+ gives me coverage with @Craigryb on the call!!!

[Grady Whittenburg @RadioUFA]

@slapschotts A bit disjointed, but I got it out...😂

[Grady Whittenburg @RadioUFA]

@Craigryb @RocKnighthawks @GeorgiaSwarmLAX @1073TheBull @NLL Enjoying your call with TV audio down. Now, your call is all there is with the video stream down for the last 15 minutes...🤬🤬🤬

[Grady Whittenburg @RadioUFA]

@SimmerDownCIH Keeping you in my prayers, brother...take care of yourself. ♥️

[Grady Whittenburg @RadioUFA]

@TSNHammer Totally concur...gonna miss him on the Sens telecasts though!

[Grady Whittenburg @RadioUFA]

@Mr_GCU @awfulannouncing ***Lee Corso enters the chat***

[Grady Whittenburg @RadioUFA]

@philgpbp @Mark_J_Boyle @Eddie_Gill4 @Pacers @Bucks @ElevanceHealth And that well-used (by me) remedy was shared with me by @BobbyMacSports waaay back in our AHL days.

[Grady Whittenburg @RadioUFA]

Congrats on 400 tonight @Craigryb ...always enjoy the call for road games and on the rare occasion when I can't make it to the home tilts!!! All the best on 400 more!!!
