Doug is recovering from surgery and will miss the season.


I'm excited. Jake knows his shite and will be a much needed improvement.

This was always going to happen eventually. He's perfect for the job.

So why can't Doug just say "that's all folks, it has been a good run."

He is 79 years old. He was playing at LSU the year I was born (1965).

TBH, it's been a hard listen when he's announcing lineups these past few years

True dat. I don’t get to listen to the radio much during games, but I always liked Doug.

I did hear he had his cup of coffee in the NFL. More times than I can count.

If you're still sharp and good enough, why not? Bob Uecker is 90 and still doing play by play for the Brewers.

I may actually listen to the radio broadcast this year now that Jake is on the take.

Doug could barely make it through the halftime reads much less the highlights last season. This is fresh air to be honest

Nothing but appreciation for Doug but this was much needed. He has been pretty rough recently.

Doug had a great run, but he's nearly 80 and the game pass him by 10+ years ago. I know it is radio, but he brought no in-depth commentary to the broadcast outside of insight the common fan could make. Yes, 53 yards is, in fact, a long FG
