The guy who calls the plays to the fans inside the University of Phoenix Stadium as it happens. If that is Dave Pasch he has more enthusiasm for who wins the hot dog, mustard and catchup race or "Text your favorite player from last game". than he does for the Cardinals. If you are looking for a stats only, "Kurt Warner's pass to Larry Fitzgaerald for a nine yard gain, talked by Champ Baily for a Cardinals First Down." The he is great. EVERY other away game I have been to heir stadium announcers are on that teams side. They get excited when it is a first down. "WARNER TO FITZ FOR ANOTHER FIRST DOWN!" Like Al McCoy of the Suns. Our guy is mundane at best. The section I sit it on EVERY first down we actually make fun of how drone he is going to say it because it is teh same every play. He sounds like this is his job. Nothing more. No heart, no loyalty, no support. The Redskins announcer last year when we lost to them in D.C. We lost BECAUSE of their announcer. He yelled "COOOOOLLEEEEEYYY for a FIRST DOWN!" that got the crowd up, Cooley got up pointed towards the goal line and they scored two plays later. Up to that point we were winning. They won on a crappy INT but that announcement changed that Stadium. I don't listen to the radio because I am at the game so we might be talking about a different guy. I went to customer service and when I said I wanted to complain about the effort of our announcer and his enthusiasm. She actually laughed. Then she said (and I quote) "you have no idea how many people complain?" I am a Cardinals fan at a Cardinals HOME game. If I am at the stadium here in Phoenix and I close my eyes just listened to the announcer and blocked out the names of the teams, you would not be able to tell who's home field you were on! He is a stats guy. The good teams have GREAT PROFESSIONAL ANNOUNCERS THAT CAN MOVE A CROWED WHEN NEEDED. It is part of the game and a part of our home team offense that we don't use. Actually it is detrimental to us. It actually hurts us to be so obtuse about calling the play. In reply to AZ Scott:

The Texans don’t possess the talent in their secondary to be able to keep up with the likes of Fitzgerald, Boldin and Breaston, so expect a solid performance with over 250 yards and three TDs.

Dave Pasch on KTAR? He's also an ESPN announcer for college football. I like him. Trust me, he can get excited...if that's who you are talking about. I really like Wolf!
