But I do remember back then it got a lot more press coverage and criticism from other outlets. And there was an article done on Miller and the fact he went up and met Wilson before the game to ask him. Since he is from California he said he's always respected/enjoyed Hispanic culture and that's part of the reason he goes out of his way to pronounce their names so specific so if their family at home were watching they'd hear their names be said correctly instead of "Americanized".
Also did the same thing with Fooky and why he would say Roff-I-ell Four-call instead of Rah-fee-ell Fur-call.

Jon Miller is a legend. He's up there with Keith Jackson in football for me.
Move Powell and Sutton to the TV side, like Indy-1 said. They are good.
I grew up listening to Skip and Pete Van Wieren on TBS. Pre-Chip TBS was amazing, so late 90s/early 2000s. I have fond memories of the Braves in those days.
Having the best franchise besides the Yankees didn't hurt.
Chip and Joe are simply nails on a chalkboard.

We don’t care about the Blues, Chip!
I agree, Chip must go!
Chip isn’t the greatest announcer to be sure. However, for the simple fact of the Caray connection with the Braves, he’ll have a job with the Braves as long as he wants it.

Jerome Jurenovich anyone?
In fairness to Chip, this Fox national broadcast team is even more painful to listen to. Are we all just overrating the old days?
Go get him!
