Gil Santos "retiring"

[Kevin Vahey]

Sadly it is basic stuff like what down and yards to go he is getting
wrong. Sometimes mis-calls what receiver was thrown to.

Football you can not cover your tracks like you can in baseball as too
much is happening.

Curt Gowdy was a disaster when WHDH hired him to do the Pats and it
was even worse when WBUR hired Ken Coleman to do football in the early
90's. Poor Ken kept calling BU Boston College.

BZ 'could' solve the sports problem by simply having the channel 4
sports anchor tape the morning sports after the 11 as usually the
local teams are done. Afternoons they could use channel 4 again. For
some reason 1030 and channel 4 don't co-mingle very much which is odd
as they share the same space in the newsroom.
