Dave Pasch opinion.

[slanidrac16]

Living in Chicago I don’t get to listen to the radio broadcast of the Cardinals.
What do the locals think of the job he does. When I do hear kighlights of him he certainly doesn’t come across as overly exciting.
Not knocking him. Just wondering what the valley’s vibe is on him.

 

[ajcardfan]

I don't think I have ever heard a complaint about Dave Pasch. He lets Wolfley do all the over the top excitement stuff.

 

[RON_IN_OC]

I like Dave...NFL, College, doesn't matter. He's consistently good, IMO.

 

[AZman5103]

I really like Pasch. Hes a solid play by play guy and he melds well with Wolf. I know some people get tired of Wolfs over the top stuff, but honestly I think we have one of the best teams in the NFL. I would take them over Joe Buck and Aikman, and many other national teams.

 

[dscher]

He's so so for me...I think maybe his voice irks me a bit at times. But overall, he knows his stuff and does a good job.

Wolfley loves the Cardinals as much as we do. That’s why Wolf is great in my book.

Totally agree. Pasch does too, he is just a little less vocal about it because he also has to work other markets.

Wolf knows hes never doing anything outside of AZ, so might as well be a Cards fanatic.

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Not only does Dave have to work with Wolf, he also has to work with Bill Walton covering Pac12 basketball for ESPN. Nobody should have to draw that many short straws.

His brother Craig holds the same position as color analyst for Steelers.

 

[Totally_Red]

He does a solid job on the ESPN college games I watch occasionally. Seldom seems to make a mistake and has plenty of detailed information, in other words for such a busy guy he seems to do his homework.

 

[CardLogic]

Pasch is terrific! And that's why he is one of the busiest play by play commentators in sports. Knowledgeable, well-prepared, calls the games and doesn't make himself a topic during broadcasts! I've wondered why he hasn't gotten/taken a more prestigious position with one of the major networks? Whatever the reason, I'm glad he is the voice of the Cardinals!

ESPN works him like a dog so he is doing just fine for himself. But, yeah, he's better than Kevin Kugler and some others.

 

[BigRedRage]

Top notch

 

[kerouac9]

Driving around with XM I get to listen to a lot of other radio crews on games. Pasch and Wolfley are easily among the best I've heard.

The worst was the team that did the Oakland Raiders games back when I lived in Davis. They were homer garbage.

Absolutely great calling games on TV (college FB, basketball, whatever). Absolutely horrible as play-by-play man on the radio. He calls a radio game like it's a TV game where his audience can see what's going on - he does a piss-poor job of making you feel like you're there, as the greats have always been able to do. For a prime example, check out Bill King calling the Raiders for decades. Absolute master at his craft.

 

[wa52lz]

He's no Tom Dillon, but he does a great job in my opinion

Good take. I seldom hear Pasch doing radio play-by-play, as I don't listen to radio during Cardinals games.

TV vs. Radio play-by-play are absolutely two different skills! Rare are those that do both exceptionally!

 

[GatorAZ]

Pasch is the best in the business. He’s knowledgeable/charismatic and unlike a lot of homer announcers he will tell it like it is when things are going south.

I like Dave, but my 'best in the business' is Dan Shulman.

 

[MadCardDisease]

Great Voice. Love what he does for the Cardinals broadcast!

 

[dreamcastrocks]

Pasch is amazing. He only reason I can stand listening to Wolfley, he calls Wolfley out on his stupidity.

 

[slanidrac16]

Again , I’m not knocking the guy because the only time I hear him is on replays.
However, if I’m listening I like to hear the “ obvious”. On the Conner td catch it was clear he was going to score when he was on the 20 yard line rather than 20-15-10-5 td.
It seems that 99% of you like him and that’s great. I also understand a calm voice in between Wolfleys antics are probably necessary.

 

[Brak]

The gold standard IMHO...

Doesn't Pasch also do radio broadcast? That would explain it.

For the Cards, he ONLY does radio - except perhaps TV for an exhibition game or two.
