Daniel Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 As some of you know, a long time friend of mine is Andrew Catalon, maybe best known for doing PBP for curling during the Olympics. He's also a huge Devils fan, going back to when we'd go to Devils practices at South Mountain with him wearing his Kevin Todd jersey. Anyway, he's doing the play-by-play for the Jags/Bills game this Sunday. Maybe if you have the Sunday Ticket, try and bump up the ratings a bit. Otherwise, just follow him on twitter @andrewcatalon.

devilsrule33 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Doesn't really matter to me if he is a Devils fan or not. Very cool accomplishment so congrats to your friend. Always like to see some new announcers do NFL games. Unfortunately for your buddy, CBS lineup is extremely deep with talent, while Fox's is a disaster with so many bad guys, the worst being Dick Stockton and Sam Rosen. CBS weak link is Marv Albert. An absolute legend, but his new stint calling NFL games with CBS has not been good at all. Since your buddy is working with Gannon, I gather he is replacing Marv this week.

nmigliore Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 (edited) FOX has Kevin Burkhardt now, who I've enjoyed in the games I've heard him on, granted I'm probably a little biased. That's a really nice accomplishment though, wish him the best. Edited December 13, 2013 by nmigliore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a really nice accomplishment though, wish him the best. He's doing a good enough job that Fox is giving him a playoff game. Very impressive. Looks like Fox is finally realizing what a poor job most of their vets are doing. http://www.awfulannouncing.com/2013/december/kevin-burkhardt-and-john-lynch-will-call-nfl-playoff-game-for-fox.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was like calling a Swedish guy a Swede. Hopefully people don't dwell on it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDog2020 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 For the record, AC did a great job on the curling during the olympics. Thoroughly enjoyed his calls of the action. There needs to be more curling coverage in the US, its a great game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
