re: Eli Gold not returning to the radio booth

And It’s a effing RADIO CALL! It’s not open heart surgery or being President. So what if he’s Not the world’s sharpest anymore?

And When’s the last time ANY of us seriously had to rely ONLY on the radio call with no video??? Unless you are a cheapskate, it was probably 2007.

I spent many weekends in the 2010s on the road in a convoy or out in the field with an FM radio while doing national guard drill duty.

Eli Gold was already not very good at his job by that point. He was aiming to be heard on highlights for big plays at the end of the CBS broadcast or on Sportscenter, not painting a vivid picture for the listener.

The difference between Eli Gold in the field on Saturday and Kevin Harlan on the radio driving back home on Sunday was astounding.
