Play by play PGA Tour Radio, Compass Media, Westwood One. Former voice of NFL Falcons & Panthers & ESPN Radio. Marietta College ‘75 raised in Tonawanda NY
1. I was informed last week by ESPN Radio that I will not be retuning as their Voice of College football & hoops. Budget cuts I was told was the reason. It was a great ten year run for me that also included calling the NFL, golf and even one NBA game with Dr. Jack.
October 15th is the 25th anniversary of the
@Panthers
first win in the NFL. They beat the Jets at Clemson sparked by Sam Mills pick six of a Bubby Brister shovel pass. It’s a memory still etched in my mind. Happy 25th Panthers fans. RIP Sam Mills
Here’s college footballs biggest issue, besides it’s targeting rule. Going into Sunday there are 18 NFL teams, yes 18, still with a chance to play in the SB. In CFB there might be six or seven teams with a legit chance to win the Natty when the season starts.
Jerry Richardson story. Media day at SB 38 ends and Jerry sees my wife and I on the field & walks over. He asks “do you have any dinner plans tonight” We both say, no we don’t. Jerry says “well Rosalind and I are having dinner with Bob Kraft and his wife” He then walked away.
How about my grandson
@AndrewRosinski2
getting his official visit from
@UNCFootball
HC Mack Brown and OLine coach Randy Clements. He will be a Tar Heel in January
Long time Panthers have experienced this despair before. See final game of 2001 season. 10 thousand in the seats, 8 thousand were Patriots fans. 1-15. Seifert was fired the next day. John Fox hired that off season. There is always hope.
So I understand the person who was mainly responsible for telling ownership that the Panthers should get rid of me was escorted out of the building yesterday. David Tepper is off to a good start.
Defending Nixon, while publicly calling out your quarterback. Bad messaging. I don’t care if it’s Walker, Sam, Teddy, Cam. Never heard this type of defense for Joe, either.
RIP Kevin Greene. This photo taken at SB week the year he announced his retirement. He was “salt” to Lamar Lathons’ “pepper” on the ‘96
@Panthers
. “Chopping Wood” was a favorite phrase about winning each week. He always called me “the voice” Damn 58 years young.
If the team hires Reich to be the HC it would be the first HC hire with an offensive background . Everyone else Capers, Seifert, Fox, Rivera and even Rhule were all D coordinators. I’m not sure what Rhule expertise was the be honest.
On Jan 2, 2005 I called what turned out to be my last game as voice of
@Panthers
, a loss to the Saints. This Sunday I’ll be joined by
@BaldyNFL
and the rest of the
@CompassMediaNet
crew to call Saints at Panthers. As they say there is no place like home😎
Happy to announce that I will continue my role as voice of college football and basketball for
@ESPNRadio
this coming fall. This will be season 10 with the WWL and can’t believe how fortunate I’ve been to do what I love to do.
#livingthedream
So I hear the NFL is narrowing down the top play in the history of each franchise for its big anniversary celebration this coming season. For
@Panthers
it has to be XClown right? The Delhomme to Smith TD pass to beat the Rams in OT.
Just a thought but how cool would it be the put Tony Romo and Luke Kuechly in the broadcast booth together without a play by play guy and just let them go telling us what both sides of the ball are doing before it even happens.
Jason Whitlock on the late interception by Panthers and the grounding call on Newton “the NFL wanted nothing to do with the Jerry Richardson story line going forward in the playoffs,so they got rid of them”
Just learned I’ll be on the call this Sunday for
@Panthers
vs
@Buccaneers
for
@CompassMediaNet
I always enjoy working with
@BaldyNFL
and the crew and of course calling a team I was the voice of for ten years. And it’s a huge game.
Lost my Dad 33 years ago today April 12, 1987. He was just 65. I tried to raise my two sons like he raised me. So sad he missed watching them grow up. A year after he died I started doing play by play at the national level. He would have been thrilled. Miss him every day.
Some positive job news. I will join the radio broadcast team
@CompassMediaNet
this fall to do play by play of NFL and College football. Just a handful of games but so appreciative to continue
#livingthedream
. First game will be Oregon at Stanford on Sept 21st.
6. And I want to say a huge thank you to
@Panthers
fans who reached out to me over the years. Some called you a wine and cheese crowd. That’s BS, your passion and support for me since Jan 7 2005 has meant the world to me and my family. You are the best.
15 years ago, the Panthers went to Philly and left as NFC champions.
@KevinDonnalley
remembers it well. Watch him hardly contain his excitement as he takes us through key plays from that battle.
Jake saved the franchise becoming the QB in 2003. Rodney Pete, Chris Weinke and others who came after Beuerlein all failed. There was no QB plan. And then came Delhomme out of no where.
Jake Delhomme will be remembered by many as the guy who threw 5 interceptions in his final playoff game.
Prior to that, he was a critical part of 5 playoff wins, 4 of which came on the road.
This drive before halftime in SB38 was clutch.
Just watched a Panthers TV promo for their next home game. They used three radio calls, two were mine. Haven’t been their voice for 17 years. I guess my work has held up over time.

12 years now doing play by play for

and the sport continues to provided me with some incredible moments. Yesterday was another. Called Koepka shots in final pairing with

Mike Patrick being honored tonight here at Duke as they host Louisville. Mikes 35 years at ESPN coming to an end. Probably one of the more under appreciated broadcasters of his time.
With
@jimszoke
going into the
@wbtradio
hall of fame I thought I’d post this photo of your original
@Panthers
radio team which includes Jim and Roman Gabriel. I guess I was all in with the Panthers tie and pin.
I can tell you first hand how passionate
@Panthers
fans are. When the team let me go they flooded the stadium with phone calls. Can’t imagine if
@twitter
was around then. 19 years later many still remember my work and stop and says hello. Wine and cheese my ass.
The more I read this idiots tweet the more infuriated I get. This dick sock moves from shithole OH to CLT because CLE sucks ass. His bio is all about driving people around CLT. He has NC in his Twitter handle like a carpetbagger, then bags on the people in the town he infested.
Like many in the media I lost a job I loved in 2019. After 10 years with
@ESPNRadio
I was told I was no longer needed. Fortunately I still had
@SiriusXMPGATOUR
to keep me busy and thanks to
@CompassMediaNet
for the chance to call football again. Here’s to all of you 🥂Happy 2020!
No one was picking the
@Panthers
to win this. Philly reporter came up to me in press box and asked if I really thought the Panthers could win the game. He obviously had not watched what went on all season.
Saints just too much for
@Panthers
today. Brees and Co one of the best teams in the NFL. I did get to call
@CMC_22
17 yard reception that got him to 1000 for the season along with 1000 rush yards. Nice to be a part of Panthers history again.
So happy I was able to share the booth with you your first 3 seasons. Loved your enthusiasm.(XClown). Sometimes “going in a different direction” can result in great things. The Good Lord has a plan.
Thank u
@Panthers
for 17 gr8 years of broad casting. The team has been so kind & gracious 2 me. I’ve nothing but love for the panthers and the relationship I’ve built over these many years. I feel much a part of this team as I felt for all the teams I’ve played for. Go Panthers
46 years in broadcasting and this never gets old. Called the A&M upset of Alabama last night for

Hard to believe but
@rosinskijane
and I got married 41 years ago today. Been a wonderful life together raising our 2 sons
@gprosinski
and
@BobbyRosinski
who have blessed us with 3 grand children. Can’t imagine life without her.
Friday flashback. With my wife
@rosinskijane
& Panthers owner Jerry Richardson at SB 38. After photo was taken Jerry asked us if we had any dinner plans that night. We said no we don’t. He said “Roslyn and I are having dinner with Bob Kraft and his wife” and then he walked away
One of the cool things for me each year when covering the

playing his first freshman high school football game tonight. He’s a 6-5 TE, DL and Long snapper. So cool. If I can hang in there maybe if he plays in college I can call his game.

85 yards in SB 38 . Delighted to be a part of NFL history.
I don’t know how many of you married guys remember the day you proposed but 44 years ago today I asked
@rosinskijane
to marry me. 43 plus years of marriage later we are still living the dream. Yes I know “I out kicked my coverage”
NEWS: Former
#Panthers
offensive line coach James Campen was the eyes and ears for owner David Tepper in the locker room & multiple people in the locker room who would have to snitch to Tepper what they saw, per Tony Pauline.
“It destroyed team chemistry.”
Dysfunctionality.
Jeremy Chinn says he's followed the careers of other FCS players who've done well in the NFL. Mentioned Carson Wentz, David Johnson and Rodney Harrison.
Started my 46th year in radio in August. It was a childhood dream to call NFL games. Seeing my name as part of the 2021 season still gives me a thrill.

So Rivera takes over the defensive play calling and in the first series the Browns score with ease. McCaffrey was killing the Browns all day yet on second, third and 4th down late from the 2 he’s MIA. I am beginning to think there will be massive changes by the new owner.
I would contend the best free agent class ever was the 96 Panthers signing Kevin Greene, Eric Davis, Wesley Walls and Steve Beuerlein. All contributed to an NFC West title and a trip to the NFC Championship game.

Yes I do remember where I was. Normally you don’t want your analyst jumping in during a call but

saying “it’s over, it’s over” as Steve Smith broke free was absolutely perfect.
Do you remember where you were when it happened?

game Sunday. Of course he’s a big Baker Mayfield fan. With his producer Rafael and
@rosinskijane
Good stuff here from Joe. Gettleman was fired because he wanted to move on from TD and Olsen. Greg has been hurt the past 2 seasons, Davis suspended first four games this year. Maybe Gettleman was right. We will never know.
