I would love to hear Joe Beninati call a football game. I know it's not his sport of choice but he is a master at calling hockey games. I have no need for Sam Huff in the booth though.

The soldiers gave three cheers as they urged their tired horses north across the uneven hills. Some of the mounts, exhausted after a week of almost continual marching, began to lag behind; others, spurred on by their enthusiastic riders, began to edge past the regiment's commander. "Boys, hold your horses," Custer cautioned; "there are plenty of them down there for us all."
Add Mike Patrick permanently and all would be well. I assume he is still doing some of the Redskin preseason games? I loved when he did the ESPN Sunday Night games, great voice and I miss his "holy cow" and "are you kidding me?" catchphrases.
Sam was on Sirius NFL radio with Tim Ryan and Pat Kirwan a couple weeks ago. They asked Sam what position the Redskins need to improve the most and he said RB. This was before the trade for the 2nd pick and they were shocked by the answer. They tried to talk some sense into him but he wanted none of it. He just kept talking about how the Redskins should find another Riggo. He sounded insane.
First thing I thought when saw this title was "RIP". Yeeesh.
I actually got to meet Sam at an autograph siging in New Jersey. He is like you all say losing it a bit. His handler was kinda getting PO'd at him. Constantly had to keep him on track wewith what he was doing etc... He is a very nice guy though. Shared a couple funny stories, told me that he thought the Skins should skip over Manning and draft a QB. Mentioned that the last time we did that was Joey T. He said no one really liked him though which made me laugh. Got love getting older!!!

I can and WILL play Redskins games too in the future...
I say bring a whole new crew in.. We're starting a new era in DC with a new QB, new Nike jerseys & a head coach who the game has not passed him by..
Trevor Matich gets my vote. Knows what he is talking about, but can dumb it down for people who don't know football that well....
Gone, but not forgotten... RIP RP
I've been hoping for a peaceful exit for Sam for several years now, but it just doesn't seem to happen. Somebody has to be tough enough to say No More. It will be sad, but not as bad as another year of him on the air.

Apple pie and ice cream. Turkey day and football. Peanut butter and Jelly. Batman and Robbin. Garfield and Odie. Unique things that just go together and scream America. And Sonny and Sam are RIGHT up there on that list when it comes to the the B&G.
If Sam goes, then Sonny goes. You can't have one without the other. Sam Huff may have gotten forgetful with age and have a big disconnect between his brain and his mouth (Ok, A LOT forgetful); but he's still yin to Sonny's yang. They play off each other, and one wouldn't work without the other. Their a Redskins institution as recognisable to many as any coach, player uniform in Redskins lore. For 34 season's they've lived every down with us as they've broadcast our mutual love into our homes.
If you want to make a complete break, and go with a completely new broadcasting team, then be my guest. But you can't have Sonny J and A N Other doing the analyst gig. It's not Sonny and Joe. Or Sonny and Mike. Sonny and Art. It's Sonny and SAM. You can't have one without the other.
And regardless of what anyone thinks about Sam Huff @ 77, I hope it stays that way until BOTH decide to hang it up together.
Hail.
I think it's time for a new beginning in the booth to go along with the new franchise approach. Question is does Sonny get the boot at some point since he's close with the owner? He may never get fired.

Joe B is the man! Listening to him right now as I stream the hockey game with a terrible video stream, but its no biggie b/c the commentators are amazing.
Agreed. I had to listen to quite a few games on the radio last season and it was just tough to listen to their broadcast. Hopefully, Sunny knows what's up and calls it quits for the both of them. What the Redskins should do is offer them a spot on like a pregame or postgame wrap up tv show and then they can spend the games watching it and not having to do a show. Also, I assume Sam has children, If I'm his son I definitely get him to call it quits this year. Honestly, I'm surprised it didn't happen last year.
