On Thursday, Dan Steinberg of The Washington Post reported that Comcast SportsNet Mid Atlantic will not renew color analyst Phil Chenier’s contract. Chenier was the Wizards’ television analyst for 33 seasons, and played for the team from 1971-1980 when they were still known as the Bullets and played their games in Baltimore or Landover, Maryland. Though all good things come to an end, it’s still a shock nevertheless.
Though some fans have written posts and multiple petitions to keep him onboard, I hate to sound harsh. But Chenier won’t return as the Wizards’ full time TV color analyst.
