Brad Thompson just won’t shutup

Post by brucesutterHOF »

Is there any chance Chips’s son or Sweeney or Dani or Claiborne could replace him for 2027? Maybe Chip by himself like Vin Scully?

Seems like whoever his boss is has to know Thompson is terrible. Anytime he takes a day off the broadcast is instantly better.

He is perfect to help with the Fredbird crew and Chip seems to keep suggesting that he could join them. Thompson seems like he is up for it. Perfect match

I have the same feeling. He fits well with Fredbird.

Chip is a different guy with Sweeney or other serious color analyst. BT definitely lowers the discussion quality.

Could you imagine a game announced by Brad and Cat Hayes?

Ankiel, Edmonds, Sweeney, Stefan, Al, Claiborne, and even Ricky would be better to pair with Chip.

I enjoyed the one game I heard Chip’s son broadcast. He was so busy announcing the game that he didn’t give Brad much time to talk about goofy stuff.

Fans deserve better.
Thompson is awful.
But he is doing what the Cardinals Marketing Company wants.
He is not a broadcaster.
He is a cheerleader.
It would be best to give him a skirt and pompoms if the organization keeps him on the payroll

Completely agree. Rooney is great too. That’s why it’s so frustrating. So much talent paired with complete jackasses

Brad is awful. But do not ever say chip and vin in the same sentence.
