Sec234 Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 As has been written so many times in this thread, Chico is the man. Like many others on this board, I've had the opportunity to interact with Chico and he is always generous with his time. During one post-game visit, security had to shoo us all (including Chico) out on to the concourse so they could do the final sweep. He is our constant link to the entire history of the franchise...from the day Dr. McMullen and partners announced the move from Colorado to the present day. He is our Rizzuto, our Kiner, our Jerry Remy....he is ours. While he hasn't been the face of the franchise, he is certainly part of the soul. The best color man in the business? No, but better than some of the hacks I've heard over the years. God bless ya, Chico! I hope you've got many more broadcasts left in the tank.

DevilMinder Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Chico is the man, if we had a straight and narrow color guy the broadcast wouldnt be as entertaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved him when he was playing & I first got into the Devils, I love his broadcasts, and he was great when I met him at one of his book signings. Homer? I suppose, but down here I have to suffer through Flyers broadcasts. I love hockey, so I watch, but I'm glad I have restraint or I'd be down several televisions by this point due to throwing things at them. From "legend" Gene Hart & Bobby Taylor to the current crew, they are the most blatant homers you'll ever hear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sec234 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 No, actually this is not my first post. While the current identity is Sec234, I was JHofSec234. Some of the avatars currently in play are my designs. It has just been a while since I had something to say and I was certainly going to jump off the bench to defend my man Chico.

rockcreature66630 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I think chico is the man. I happen to love hearing him and doc call the games. I mean i sometimes correct him on his mistakes (to myself). I watch everygame with my brother and most games we have to say "did he really just say that" but i mean he is a DEVIL and should be doing what he is doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oconnellrules Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 chico makes the telecast more entertaining. the fact that he was a former player helps too. You gotta stick up for your own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it seemed a little fishy that you joined in 2006 but didn't make your first post until just the other day ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
