He calls games on FS1. Our fans would complain about him of he called one of our games.

 

[Other_Guy]

This is stupid. Besides, who is he worse than?

I'm not sure you'd be able to understand him; he'd have to be too busy sucking the team and fan base.

He used to call many of our games with Mike Gottfried.

That's because we were good then.....maybe that was your point.

I always thought he was impartial. Now Sean McDunnough on the other hand, I couldn't stand him when he called our games on CBS.

I miss him being in the booth on Saturday night SEC games. This is what got him in trouble at ESPN.

Holly Rowe incident

On October 1, 2005, according to the Chicago Tribune, during a game between Notre Dame and Purdue that Franklin was calling, sideline reporter Holly Rowe praised Purdue defensive coordinator Brock Spack for using all three timeouts on defense despite trailing by four touchdowns late in the game. "If the coaches are giving up," Rowe added, "what does that say to the players?" Franklin responded: "Holly, it's not giving up. It's 49–21, sweetheart."

In response to that, Mo Davenport, senior coordinating producer for college football said, "It was an inappropriate comment, and we've communicated that to Ron. There's never a reason to say something so mean-spirited. Ron apologized. We dealt with it internally."

After Franklin was dropped from the Saturday primetime games on ESPN in 2005, Richard Deitsch of SI.com expressed his displeasure with the demotion.

John Ward.

That's it.

That's what got him booted from Saturday night games. He was fired by espn for similar remarks he made to Jeannine Edwards at a production meeting.

Really? I always thought Sean was rather fair. You're telling me that the "stumbled and fumbled" call doesn't give you chills?

 

[TrueOrange]

John Ward.

That's it.

Good point.


Though I bet were he announcing it modern day, he'd have gotten his unnecessary/unwarranted share of complaints.
