Bill gets a lot of 💩. And yes, he is not what he used to be. Many of us likely aren’t.
He cares and loves pittBill gets a lot of 💩. And yes, he is not what he used to be. Many of us likely aren’t.
But God love him, he‘s a Pitt icon, IMO.
I’ve really warmed up to Jeff Hathaway, but I love listening to billy. He is the biggest homer and it’s greatLet me put it this way - when He’s on the road for the stillers-
The pitt radio broadcast improves substantially
But he’s not actually good at calling the gameI’ve really warmed up to Jeff Hathaway, but I love listening to billy. He is the biggest homer and it’s great
Struggle with the concept of icon do ya? Guessing Harry Caray could not call a game for schitt the last ten years of his career either but fans of the Cubs adored him for his devotion to their team. Pretty sure Bob Euker lost a step or two also. Hope he does not get canned for not doing his "job"...But he’s not actually good at calling the game
Which is the job

Billy is like an old slipper that you don't want to throw in the trash. He will in all probability go out on his terms; you just don't treat the GOAT local broadcaster any other way. Whiners are advised to turn down the sound.I love Billy. He could be a stuttering idiot at this point and I wouldn't care. I have been listening to his iconic voice since I was a little boy. When he finally bags the gig I am going to miss him badly.
You might want to look up the definition of "whining" . It appears your attacking someone else's opinion to defend yours is more in lineBilly is like an old slipper that you don't want to throw in the trash.

He may make mistakes(which get corrected by Bostick and Aikens), but his voice is as good as ever.I struggle with the idea of a guy who has been bad at the functions of his job for at least 15 years
Is somehow protected because he’s old and getting worse at his job.
Bostick is the only reason football broadcasts are coherent -
And hillgrove is substantially worse at basketball calls
Don't worry, he'll be gone soon and replaced by a generic, professional, cookie cutter guy that you'll just love.But he’s not actually good at calling the game

As Someone with satellite radio - who has listened to the away game of broadcast over the years -Don't worry, he'll be gone soon and replaced by a generic, professional, cookie cutter guy that you'll just love.
Him and dick were great. They’d spend a bunch of time trying to figure out why they were shooting FTS…it was double bonusHe may make mistakes(which get corrected by Bostick and Aikens), but his voice is as good as ever.
My favorite
Hillgrove: SHOT! SCORE! FOUL!
Aiken: Traveling Bill.
And honestly Aiken isn’t helpful eitherHim and dick were great. They’d spend a bunch of time trying to figure out why they were shooting FTS…it was double bonus
Turn down the sound? It's radio. What's the point in listening to turn down the sound?Billy is like an old slipper that you don't want to throw in the trash.

Now there you go using some common senseTurn down the sound? It's radio. What's the point in listening to turn down the sound?
JHC, Billy Hilgrove doesn't need anyone, let alone me, to defend him. If listening to him is so distasteful, then follow online or on your phone, listen to the empty heads broadcasting on TV, or better yet get off your dead ass and attend a game. Problem solved.Now there you go using some common sense
It’s pretty clear those defending him aren’t listening in their cars while driving -
But watching the tv broadcast
You understand the only time I’d listen to the radio is because I’m travelling , right ?JHC, Billy Hilgrove doesn't need anyone, let alone me, to defend him.

I'm done. You are entitled to your opinion, but please recognize it is shared by a small minority.
And they don’t have any fansThe fellow who does the Duquesne games is a few years older than Billy. He is slipping badly but no mention of him retiring. Most likely because nobody close to him has the balls to tell him he isnt very good anymore.
