Washington Post (free reg required as of a couple of weeks ago. There goes one of the last newspaper free reg BS holdouts):
Frank Herzog, the longtime play-by-play voice of the Washington Redskins, was bounced from one of the NFL’s most popular local radio announcing teams yesterday. Sonny Jurgensen and Sam Huff will remain as team broadcasters, but Herzog will be replaced by veteran broadcaster Larry Michael.
This is really sad for Redskins fans. When I was growing up, it was standard practice to turn the TV to whichever station had the Redskins broadcast and then tune the radio to WMAL, the oldskool home of Sonny, Sam, and Frank. Frank’s play-by-play was always better than the TV coverage.
Years later I found myself doing the same thing: turning on the TV and immediately muting it. I had to tune the radio to WJFK (the new home of Redskins Radio), but on the other end of the dial was the same old Sonny, Sam and Frank of my childhood.
Frank is still on staff at WUSA 9, but I for one am going to miss him over the audible air waves.
