Love me some Tom Hamilton but Fred is definitely top 3 all time Cleveland sports announcers


It's gonna be rough trying to replace him next to AC

[Proctor]

What the fvck?

At one point I thought he and Austin were the worst duo in sports announcing...then I realized Fred's greatness.

^ Do yourself a favor and watch that.

Edit: Scuzzy beat me to it

Damn I remember he was doing Lions preseason games this year. RIP Fred

Austin Carr is the worst :facepalm Dude is just a bickering old man that doesn't stop complaining until things go 100% in Cavs favor

I use to mute FSohio and replace it with AM radio announcers during games, recently though I enjoy hearing away teams broadcast instead

Fred was the only thing keeping that 'duo' in order

This is awful

[Hey Yo]

Dude definitely loved his job.

Indeed.

Fred made Austin tolerable for me

RIP

What a shitty day. :(

In his defense, although harsh, that "deeep in the Q guy" is the worst cringey announcer out there. If he would announce a 7 year old football game the kids would all cringe as well

[Doranku]

I live in Northeast Ohio so I watch a lot of Cavs games, Fred was one of the best play-by-play guys in the league. Won't be the same watching without him.

Right down Euclid. :(

Fred and AC were hands down the best local duo in the NBA. Fred was so enthusiastic even during the terrible years of the franchise. Screaming and yelling about dudes like Lester Hudson and Donald Sloan like they are superstars :oldlol:

They are homers but so what. Fred's a NE ohio native.

He will be missed. Saw an interview this morning of Austin Carr just losing it over the loss of his friend. Those guys had great chemistry and it showed through their broadcasts.

Tough loss for cleveland sports fans. :(
