Pete Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 If you don't have a soft spot in your heart for this guy, you can go fuck yourself. He's a goddamn legend and he will quit when he feels like quitting, and you will all shut the fuck up about it. 2 3 1 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siddious Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I like making fun of Sam but I’m in the same boat as Pete here. Love the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Nah - imo sorry soft spots don't always last forever they just don't. Spouses, dogs, the ones that got away sure. Tv broadcasters unless they are the absolute best of the best who's game calling doesn't degrade significantly have an expiration date, his has passed. Making fun of the guy now based on what he is now has nothing to do with what I thought of him in his prime. In that regard he's no different than a player he doesn't get a lifetime pass. Happy birthday regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slobberknocker Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 happy birthday sam. he still gets it done. a gaff here or there but noones perfect. amazing the longevity some of these guys wind up getting. Scully, Carey, Murphy... the list goes on and on. funny that in this day and age of corp upheaval these guys can still get 50 year careers. P.S. Sams o.k. but no where near Jim Gordon back in the day. Called Giants radio games too. great smooth silky baritone voice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 It's going to be a tough transition when Sam can no longer do it. I guess Kenny Albert is the easy choice since the fans already know him via radio. But who knows if he would even accept the job. Happy birthday Sam. You're a staple of Rangers hockey and history. Undeniably one of the most iconic voices in sports. Thank you for your dedication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
