so wait.

somebody here recently said that Joniak is a budget hire.

Really?

He's been doin' it forever and he's well known, how is he a budget hire?

Are u saying theyre payin' him peanuts?

If he was a budget hire, don't u think he woulda bolted a long time ago?

Explain to me how he is a bdget hire.

Also, post a pic of his face if he were told to his face that he was a budget hire.

While I can't fathom the meaning of your last line, I will say that where else would Joniak work? Guy's kinda painted himself into a corner. It's not like ESPN is asking him to do college games.

One of the nicest guys that you would ever meet.

And yet still a budget hire.

He’s fine. I enjoy the broadcast when I can’t be in front of the tv. He seems genuine.

True. I listened this year after I learned I could get home radio on Sirius/XM. At any rate, he has been there so long he is now the voice of the Bears and that is all there is to say about that.

He's done a good job, but he's not Wayne Larrivee.

That is from 17 years ago.

Has Joniak really been around that long?

I like Joniak but he is the Charles Leno of announcers

The hell with Wayne Larrivee and his Packer loving ass.

Have no problem with Joniak, except his stupid "Fade To Black" line.

Yes, his first year was the Bears' 13-3 season. That was a great season, but obviously they've only had 4 playoff appearances since.

He's not great but he's still better than the guy he replaced, Gary Bender.

I forgot about how much shit Gary Bender was in the Bears' booth. He didn't live in Chicago, just flew in for the games, and could have been replaced by the computerized voice from the old xtranormal videos.

Also sounded like he was calling the games for Westwood One. Remember B&B playing the drop of him saying "Chicago...Chicago...Chicago" over and over.

Bernstein was upset that the PBP voice of the Bears was referring to them as the "Chicago Bears" instead of just the "Bears." I understand his point, but would prefer Bender's "Chicago Bears" to the melange of donkey shit Joniak serves up every Sunday.

Gary Dolphin, the Iowa announcer, was up for the job but didn't want to give up the Iowa football/basketball gig. He was also a finalist with Bender and the Bears picked Bender. He was suspended 2 games in November for critical comments he made that ended up airing during a commercial break. He's a good PBP man and has a good voice.

Joniak and Thayer are a good listen. They deliver what information I need, add some knowledge, and don’t piss me off. Thayer is fun on the color.

Bad PBP guys stick out. Joniak might not be the best, but he is far from the worst.
