RIP Bob Neumeier

[Bomber36]

Wasn’t sure where to post this. Grew up listening to this voice of New England sports, as I’m sure most of you did.

Bob Neumeier, longtime Boston sports reporter and NBC horse racing expert, dies

From 1981-2000, during the heyday of local news, Neumeier was a reporter and anchor at Ch. 4.

I never followed the Whalers while Bob Neumeier was doing the play by play of their games. However, my wife before I met her certainly followed the Whalers, and she always would tell me that he was a fabulous hockey announcer. She was a huge Neumeier fan, but didn't care much for Chuck Kaiton (which seems to be a rare thing for Whaler fans).

The audio of that fight was the B-side of Brass Bonanza

Bob Nuemeier was awesome as the New England Whalers play-by-play guy. It took me a little while to appreciate Chuck Kaiton’s style, but he was really good as well. We were lucky to have two really good play-by-play guys in Hartford. Some of the guys I here today are just god aweful. The Islanders radio guys sounds like a really bad AHL broadcaster. Then there’s the Bruin’s tv play-by-play guy, Jack Edward’s. He just a tool!!!
