Sounds like Bama is trying to ease Eli Gold off the air...

only gonna do the home games.

Thought it might be his decision because Munson did this same thing when his health started getting bad in 2007, but Pawl says Eli made no mention of this and said he was perfectly healthy when interviewed on the program a few weeks back.

This fricking board is like a bunch of fifth graders playing in an abandoned hotel kiddie pool.

Weird. Eli Gold is only calling home games. No?

Was on Finebaum a few weeks ago and said he was looking forward to this season, never mentioned anything about calling only home games.

Now Bama says he's only doing home games.

What do you make of it?

I mean this is your broadcast guys, not like I'm actually criticizing your team here.

The man is recovering from cancer.
Kinda makes a hell of a lot of sense.
Real threadworthy.
Have a good day.

You're right. Nobody gives a shite about your announcer.

No need for a thread.

I asked my booster friend not long ago about Eli and he said he wasn't doing good. He's doing the live feed for Coach Sabans show on YouTube but he looks weak as water. I suspect this is his last season.
Cancer aint no joke.

you do know he took a year off to deal with cancer that almost killed him. He is not a young chicken anymore and this could be the plan to ease him back into things without road trips. You uga dawgs are sure stupid

Same thing happened to my grandmother. When we encouraged her to give up her drivers license in her 80s because she wasn't healthy enough to travel it was actually us pushing her out the family. She had no clue what we were up to.

Decided he needs to focus on Birmingham Bulls hockey this year. Better chances of a championship!

You do understand I didn't come up with that on my own. Someone in the media said it.

I agree, but it is like you're a certified simpleton wondering why a man who's been battling a life-or-death disease for several years can't come back to work at 100 MPH!
I'm gonna hope you're not that stupid.

Eli Gold is a great name for an SEC play by play man.

Best wishes to him in his continued recovery.

I have not heard him in a few years, but I remember him as being very good. He has the ability to make things more exciting which is a positive for a sports announcer.

With there being 20 different potential reasons for him only doing home games... why go there?

No. It's on radio. ESPN guy. You know him. Big eared guy. Said he talked to some folks. Not Eli's call. Came from the top.

Now you may have better sources than him. I don't know you. Are you Jim, Legend, Larry?

Finebaum is just stirring up shite. I don't believe his story at all. Plus it's only based on the fact that Eli didn't tell Finebaum this was going to happen. So Paul comes to this conclusion and runs with it.

I seriously doubt Chris Stewart, who's had health problems of his own, would be a part of what Finebaum is suggesting
