I know he is a fan favorite on here. You can tell he is losing his touch. His calls are slower like he has to think about what he is about to say. One more day of hearing this 500x

At 80 years old, the guy works more than your average 40 year old. Cut him some slack and show some respect.

Good point

He sucked at 50. Adds unnecessary drama to benign situations. Rarely gives lengths, mentions trailing horses once going to the half and cant mention them again because his calls are slower than the action unfolding. his screaming "3 wide" about horses obviously going no where , then clearing his throat on mic is lame. He must have the money and sense enough to retire by now, but if he still needs or wants to work, he should stick to color commentary and giving history in his softer voice which he is still pretty good at. Beyond that, at any age he has still been an irritant to listen to.
-
Yes, but Roger needs to have some respect for the game and know when to step down and hand over the mic. Why tarnish your career?
-
Pay some respect? 73cv.2 Like learn how to spell his name? ngc3 Though I wish he'd move to Houston and stay there.
-
Huston and his gaudy pinky rings aren't fit to hold the mic for:
Frank Salive
Sam McKee (RIP)
John Bothe
Phil Georgeff
Tony Salvaro
Jack E Lee
.. and about a dozen other better announcers. He's Steve Cross with a deeper voice and 1/10th the class. If harness racing were more popular, he'd be a national disgrace.
The USTA fails because they wallow in the past,and rarely cast an eye toward the future. Letting Huston call anything on Jug Day beyond a NW-1/CL is ruining the game.

Roger got himself so confused when announcing the winning connections on Monday that he said “In the training victory circle” confusing the trainer and driver.
He’s gotta go. Hell, Tom Durkin whose been retired nearly 10 years ran circles around him with his call of the 2nd race on Tuesday.

Roger is one of he best everyone makes mistakes but over all I like his call.

That's because judging by your posts, you're his father.

Too many mistakes too many errors
Needs to go bye bye

Classic mistake. There was a race yesterday in which he said they are going for a purse of $305.

outside of diehard harness race fans, he's only a legend in his own mind.
poor old boy stayed too long at the fair

A few years down the road he may be right

Slow, slurred, mumbling delivery. Mistakes, losing train of thought. Clearing throat, phlegmy voice...This is your track announcer, Joe Biden...."THREE WIDE!!"

Fug are you talking about Roger or Joe Biden?

Guess none of you guys ever fucked up but your mother sure did best part of you all run down her leg.

Oooooh that sounds messy

So in your opinion should they allow Roger to announce until they can't get him and his wheelchair into the booth? When is it time to say enough is enough? He's like the old grandparent that doesn't want to surrender there driers license

I wouldn’t know about that grandparent thing. None of my grandparents ever drove a car. No one learned in Europe before hitchhiking to Ellis Island. Then in the lower east side of nyc everyone walked everywhere unless they delivered milk or ice in a horse and buggy. The beginning of harness racing 73cv.2

dude, your twice impeached, 91 indictments boy said he beat "Obamna" in 2016 and that Sleepy Joe was going to start World War 2. This was last weekend. Face it, he's totally demented and scared as a rabbit he'll end up in 91.jzail for the rest of his pathetic life.
Sleepy Joe rides a bike; he does pilates. Orange fuckface would have a quadruple coronary if he bent over for his 3x daily Big Mac if it fell on the floor.
Give your misguided hatred a rest because you look silly in your MAGA/Fox/Tucker/Bongino cocoon.
-
P.S. Roger Huston is a banshee scream queen! Useless as they come in the booth.
-
Roger is a fucking disgrace to the race now He should be announcer emeritus. He should never be handed a microphone that has been turned on. Let him sit and dream of past glory. He's an egotistical asshole, anybody who has spent anytime around him knows it.

But, Donald trump, win or lose WILL be running for President and Joe Biden will NOT - mark my words, it's a done deal already - in 2024.
-
Love Rogers calls he is a legend! tmbz1 A few mistakes wtf he is 80 years old...
-
Roger is one of he best everyone makes mistakes but over all I like his call.
Right on... tmbz1

Fug as usual you’ve got this all wrong. Biden will be running in 2024. Unfortunately he won’t know for what or where ;D

TY. I get the sarcasm, but i didn't know you feel i always get things wrong
-
Roger announces his first trace of the day. Never gives the distance in lengths between horses. After the half couldn't be bothered to announce a horse past 4th. But he screamed 1:55 about 5 times!
-

Just some of my questionable attempt at humor

RockinPoppin and CHRIS PAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
I know he is a fan favorite on here.
Fan favorite? If you did a poll I'm sure the results would be at least 4 out of 5 on this site would rather mute and watch than listen to his voice, mistakes, and out of synch calls. Whats the over under on how many mistakes he made calling the first heat of the Jugette yesterday? 6 ?
-
No disrespect , he should read the article on Mike LaChance in Standardbreed Canada.
-
I'd like to read it. What's the relevance to this. Can you expand, ty.
-
He means that Lachance knew when his time was up and went out gracefully instead of holding on, and holding on, and holding on and holding on.

Oh that. I knew about that. Drove, went home, told his wife I just drove my last race. Something to that effect.

what a low class greaser attempt at humor

Is Roger even watching the race?
Race 14 he called Somewhere Up coming on the outside down the stretch. That horse had a 2 hole trip, and backed through the field to finish last.
It a total embarrassment having this senile clown calling races.
-
Race 15, he started out by calling a horse that is in the 16th race as being on the lead...duh.
-
Roger retired from the meadows because he actually knew he was slipping.
He is MR LBJ and one of the most familiar people in our game.
Who would you prefer Settemoir? Someone needs to tell him the word "teher" is not pronounced "there".
-
Yank the mike from that old fuck before he ruins another jug. How many more fucked up calls is he going to get. Enough is enough.

Wrong............ ..........Ringo was getting shit canned........... .........and left............. ..that's why there is no sound on the Jug race replays.......... .can't listen to his piss poor race calls............ ......it's all about Mumbles Huston........... .....
-
welcome back Gym, a voice of reason when it comes to the old pervert. 80 and still sniffin after Heather. Even joined the stable for a shot. Should be banned from all microphones.
-
3/4's in 1:55 4/5 ................. .........Race 18............... .........another Ringo beauty........... ..... ngc3 ngc3 ngc3
-
I can't figure out how he still has a voice after screaming a few days in a row.
ITS MILLER TIME was crazy screaming.
-
he has his calls, the same fucking crap. Screaming every damn race, ya can't listen to any of his calls he's not watching the same race you are.
-
Roger is awful, it's long past his time, & yet he hangs on.
Wendy Ross is worse. The LBJ broadcast is a hard watch.
The only good time is after the interview. Gabe & Dave talk without nonsense.
