Welcome to the Official Site to get George canned.

Sure he's a nice guy, but don't you ever get sick of hearing him talk? Well I do. That's why I made this web page. I can't stand the guy! My brothers and I decided that the 2006 season was enough so we decided to do something about it. We began creating a list of what we call "Grande Dandes" (The mis-spelling is intentional, it is making fun of how his name is spelled. Pronounced: Grand-ey Dand-ies).

The Godfather

Welcome again George haters! There has been some big news in the world of Reds coverage in the last month of the season, and George got knocked down a notch. As you can see in the chart under his mug, other than the 'Ole Lefthander (semi-retired) and Thom Brenneman (FOX commitments) Georgie-boy is the only one not getting more air-time. Ain't it great! It's good to see another "tell-it-like-it-is" guy in the booth with the hiring of Jeff Brantley. We've got enough sunshine with George. I'd love to see Brantley in the booth with George and end up duking it out with him because George is being, well, George. The Reds brass wants a champion on the field and in the booth and they are on the way on both fronts, but the best cannot be claimed until George is gone! That's why we're here holding the torch and leading the way in improving Reds TV broadcasts.

Site Background

I have been a Reds fan my whole life, and most of it that I clearly remember has been with George Grande behind the mike broadcasting Reds baseball. Sure the guy broadcast the first SportsCenter, but that doesn't qualify you to broadcast MLB for 14 horrific years.

George held other play-by-play jobs along the way, with the Yankees and Cardinals, and as I have said before I can see why he is no longer with them. George is a nice guy, sure, but nice isn't good enough. When you think Ronnie Belliard's name is Rafael, and use it on the air because you don't know better, it's time to go.

Every time I watch the Reds one of two things happens, 1. The Reds start out awful and George is "Mr. Sunshine in my ass" and I get sick of him and mute him and Listen to Marty or 2. George says something soooooo incredibly stupid that I feel dumber for listening to it.

George is so bad, I believe, that he brings Chris Welsh down with him. It has gotten to the point that Chirs says stupid things. Chris Welsh isn't a bad announcer, many think he should call games with Marty Brenneman on Radio, but if he doesn't soon George will bring him to a firey finish.

In the News

Whew, That was close...

NOT MORE GEORGE! Reds to broadcast 145 games on FSN.
