Story summary
Phil Mushnick, a lifelong Giants fan, expresses nostalgia for his early experiences with the team in an article for the New York Post. He recalls watching Chris Schenkel on CBS TV and listening to Marty Glickman and Al Derogatis on WNEW-AM radio during his formative years as a football enthusiast. Mushnick highlights how these broadcasters used traditional terms like “fumble” instead of contemporary phrases such as “he put it on the ground.” He also notes their straightforward style in announcing first downs by specifying yard gains rather than using vague statements like “they move the chains.” This article reflects on the changing landscape of sports broadcasting and its impact on fan experiences.
