That is so funny....and sad because he really said it.

haha I was driving myself crazy trying to find a highlight of that call somewhere. Alas, I had no luck... Guess it will just have to live on in our hearts.

I'm more of a Rosinski fan, but Mick was a hometown guy that was very likable. Not sure why there is so much hate for him.

 

By all accounts, Mick the man is a good guy. On the other hand, Mick the announcer? Not so much.

I'm sure Mick is a good guy, but it's hard to believe he ever made it as a professional announcer.  He has absolutely zero aptitude for it.

 

 I hate talking  bad about folks. But, every broadcast sounds like his first.

I never cared for Mick as an announcer.  I'm sure he's a great guy and all, but he's very hard to listen to.  I can't remember why the organization got rid of Bill, but he was 10x better than Mick ever was.

 

Bill made the powers that be mad. New powers that be. Maybe there is a slim possibility he may return.

Wasn't it because he called it like he saw it and wasn't full-on homer? In other words, if the Panthers fugged up on a play, he would put the team/player on blast and the organization didn't like that.

More like he thought he meant more to the team than the team did. He wanted a ring, He didn't get one.

That was the first time Jerry’s pettiness raised its ugly head.   It continued with his sons, gentleman, Morrison etc.     jerry did a lot for Charlotte and I will never forget him but holy hell he was a weird dude

Opinions or not I think there is no way in hades one could argue he was even close to a competent announcer.  He was horrid.  If the best compliment someone could say about him is that he is a good guy then he has no business calling nfl games.

Listening to Mick you never knew if we got a first down or not, you never knew how long a play was etc. It was an absolute guessing game for the listener. You had to wait until the next snap to fully understand what happened the previous snap. I have no doubt he is a wonderful person, but he was an awful announcer.

    • Some of you act like one can't learn from experience over time. Just because you may not know what you're doing in 2018 doesn't mean that you don't know what you're doing in 2025. Frankly, you grow from experience, and success and excellence gives first-time applicants the hand probably 99.999% of the time.
    • It's an interesting topic of conversation as sports evolves. I think ultimately it would lead to a number of small market franchises folding though. Especially in the NBA where there are so many bad teams that have been bad for years and years in some cases already. But as it stands I think athlete pay draft or no draft aside has reached a point where we can and should realistically ask should they make that much compared to the average person. Now college athletes is a different conversation but even that reaches a breaking point. But we could go down the rabbit hole on this even further into overall entertainment and talk about actors making absurd sums too. In the end I think in sports the powers that be won't allow these changes to even be considered because it opens the door for so many other variables. But who knows how long sports like football will realistically be around after people like us pass on. We're only just now learning about things like CTE which the league and the sport in general will only be able to run away from for so long. As far as the NBA goes my understanding is viewership has been steadily going down for a number of reasons but one crucial aspect is key players missing so many games. The NBA has to figure that out regardless. Especially when considering fans who pay to see these athletes compete in person. But hey I guess let's just try to appreciate what we've got while it still exists in this form eh?
    • I can't see a world where the money goes down, but maybe your lottery odds are now your contract numbers you can offer.  Thunder? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 20 million.  Hornets? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 80 million.  Some form of a system where the money is still there, but so is the freedom of choice (on top of bad teams getting *some* competitive advantage to signing them).
