Riggins and Theismann would make a great Redskins radio team

Last week DC Sports Bog reported that John Riggins was speculating on his tv/HD radio show that this is the final season of Sonny Jurgensen and Sam Huff on Washington Redskins radio. The pair has been doing games together since time immemorial.

Riggins is not making a leap of logic coming to the conclusion that [...]

Hey Nats, grant Charlie Slowes and Dave Jageler tenure already!

At Baseball on the Barn on Friday night, the word around the campfire was that the Washington Nationals have not signed radio duo Charlie Slowes and Dave Jageler to a contract for next season and beyond. This is the kind of thing that the Nats have a terrible tendency to do — turn simple things [...]

Mike O’Meara to 105.9 The Edge mornings

Mike O’Meara, off the air since CBS radio canned him last summer, is returning to Washington D.C. airways this Wednesday. He’ll be half of a new 105.9 FM The Edge morning show with Kirk McEwen, currently in afternoon drive, but best known as part of the old Kirk, Mark & Lopez show at Baltimore’s 98 [...]

What are you going to ask Stan Kasten tomorrow?

Tomorrow morning at 10:00, Washington Nationals president Stan Kasten will appear on WTOP’s The Politics Program with Mark Plotkin. He’ll likely ask Kasten a tough question or two (plus the “what are the Nats doing for D.C. voting rights question) and maybe even let some callers ask some too. I don’t think I’ll get to [...]

Caps: Ron Weber gets Hockey Hall of Fame honor

I am pleased that Ron Weber, original radio voice of the Washington Capitals, won the 2010 Foster Hewitt Memorial Award (press release via WashingtonCaps.com). He’ll get it at the Hockey Hall of Fame induction weekend in November.
While I was not a huge hockey fan growing up, I used to listen to Weber regularly in addition [...]

Don Geronimo to return on air in…Sacramento?

The long awaited return to radio by Don Geronimo on June 21 will be in Sacramento, often a target of the Don and Mike Show’s ire. He is excited about the deal and will probably be syndicated eventually. If he shows up here, I’ll probably listen.
Meanwhile, his ex-partner Mike O’Meara continues to produce a one-hour [...]

Really, this is the last Frank Herzog retirement post

‘A Tribute to Frank’ on his last day on the air – WTOPThe ongoing celebration of Frank Herzog’s retirement concluded yesterday. Shawn Andrews of WTOP penned a long tribute in the link above. Herzog was a goof ball during the morning broadcast that I heard.
At Nationals Park Media Day, I was chatting with a [...]

The Frank Herzog roast

This is what a Frank Herzog Redskins broadcast looked like

Every time former Washington Redskins play-by-play man Frank Herzog would say “driving from left to right across your radio dial” this is approximately what I’d see in my mind. Somehow I found an image of an old AC Delco AM radio that looks a lot like the one my dad’s 1976 (Super)Nova had. Not pictured [...]

Charlie Slowes and Dave Jageler on air today; Strasburg on CBS News

I’ve become more of a homer as the years have gone by and find myself preferring the myopia of hometown broadcasters.* This afternoon, at 2:30 1:05 p.m. is the first chance to listen to the Washington Nationals radio team of Charlie Slowes and Dave Jageler. Oh, how I have missed their discussions of pancakes. The [...]
