End of an era, you guys.


Detroit Tigers television announcers Mario Impemba and Rod Allen, who were suspended by Fox Sports Detroit last month after allegedly getting into a physical altercation, will not return in 2019, according to a Detroit Free Press report.

The two were suspended on Sept. 7, three days after the alleged incident occurred in the broadcast booth before a game in Chicago against the White Sox.

I mean, how hard would it have been for the Tigers to buy another chair?

Everything about this is so amusing.

But does this mean we're getting Shep and Gibby as the permanent team? Fack

Rebuilding year for the broadcast booth too. Not sure that Gibby can handle a whole season. Probably more Jack too.

C-Mo probably gets a lot more action too. He's still with FSD right?
