There’s something about an NFL radio booth that — outside of college football — really can’t be replicated anywhere else. Where a TV broadcast is supposed to present itself as a neutral observer calling the game, the radio broadcast is the complete opposite. The announcers are fans, and they’re just as fired up about wins as the rest of the fanbase.
That’s what made longtime Kansas City Chiefs radio announcer Mitch Holthus’ call of the AFC Championship so great to watch.
