Eagles pre and post game will never be the same without him, like I'm really kinda sad right now, the squad I grew up on is almost gone. The Gov, Westbrook, Douglas, now Ray. Even on the basketball side Dei Lynam is gone, the network just isn't the same.

@michaeldaily6373 2 года назад

Feel exactly the same way man. Couldn't have said it better myself. Man was a genius. Read any of his books if you haven't already.

@MrMancreatedgod 2 года назад

I feel you bro.

@alexandriaocasio-smollett5078 2 года назад

Same here man. It feels so weird now. I can’t imagine what it’s gonna be like in September. And don’t even get me started on wrapping my mind around Merrill Reese being done one of these years very soon as well. Time just keeps passing by.

@sunrae7680 2 года назад

I agree. Ray is a football knowledge savant.

@izzythomas848 2 года назад

Yeah, they really shook things up over there. Ron Burke, Leslie Gudel, Neil Hartman, all gone. At least Ray is leaving on his own terms. I'm not an Eagles fan, in any way, but I always watched post-game live for his analysis. And Barkhan isn't funny as hell...

@SamuelHoskins 2 года назад

Damn my man Ray is leaving us 😳😢 Grew up on him, he's a football genius.

@Biggniddy32 2 года назад

Hats off to Ray Diddy incredible career Philly legend forever Eagles football won’t be the same without him

@mrhumble2937 2 года назад

Also Ray doesn't act like he knows how good he is. He's always humble

@coreycarr3112 2 года назад

When ray speaks, you listen closely . I’ll sure miss his voice. I am 33 and been listening to him with my dad since I was 13

@Strock073 2 года назад

Ray Didinger is a true legend! Smart, Personable and will definitely be missed. He has been there my whole sports life. We had the pleasure of meeting him a few years back and he was just as classy and friendly as he is in public. All the best in retirement!

@theolamp5312 2 года назад

In Philadelphia we are so fortunate to have such a great heritage of great reporters. Bill Campbell, Harry Kalas, Richie Ashburn, Larry Kane, Big Al Meltzer, John Facenda, Merrill Reese ..... The list goes on and on.

@86blackberrywhite 2 года назад

Marc Zumoff too.

@artistsonleatherbury 2 года назад

Man last year Zumoff, and now Ray Diddy...he will be missed dearly.

@joetaylor6622 2 года назад

It's been a JOY to have Ray Didinger as a member of the Philly media. As a kid I read his stories in "The Bulletin" and loved his appearance's on TV. My 1st game was 1974. I have the 74 yearbook which I have autographed by both players on the cover. Roman Gabriel and Harold Carmichel. I started following the Eagles in 72 after receiving for Christmas my 1st electric football game. And wondering why every Sunday my Father would yell at the TV! I guess you can say I been a Eagles fan for 50 years and all that time Ray covered my team. I cannot thank you enough for how you made my passion grow with your reporting. I will miss you very much and God Bless you!

@brentdavis62 2 года назад

Ray thank you for the memories

@BigMFWrubez 2 года назад

Ray Didi is my all time favorite local media analyst. He will definitely be missed. Met him in person a couple times as well. Totally humble. Just an awesome person. Incredibly talented, knowledgeable, and has an unmatched work ethic. Dude uses notes and written remarks and has better opinions/analysis than 99% of all media. Congrats to a legend.

@AB-hn6gb 2 года назад

Ray is a legend. Always objective and never triggered like most. He simply tells it like it is. Congrats on a Hall of Fame career.

@Pfsif 2 года назад

Ray was always the voice of reason and objectivity.

@italiad1013 2 года назад

I live in PA…but im a diehard COWBOYS fan (relax lol) and i even tuned into post game live to hear Rays take as he was always honest bout BOTH teams and really had his notes and facts….enjoyed Ray!!

@BravoJr1987 2 года назад

Ray was my favorite part after a eagles game to hear his analysis more than anyone else on TV. No one knows more about the birds than Diddy. He always kept it 💯 on da birds. Gonna miss hearing his voice, but he deserves a break. Happy Retirement, u deserve to finally kick back 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🐐🐐

@mikemumma9046 2 года назад

Thanks for the memories Ray.

@ter521fad 2 года назад

I recently finished reading his book One Last Read: The Collected Works of the World’s Slowest Sportswriter. I really enjoyed checking out his old articles for the long gone Philadelphia Bulletin and the Daily News. Great stuff. Ray Didinger is a walking encyclopedia of Philly sports. Especially the Eagles.

@jessemonev3037 2 года назад

DAM Ray gonna miss sunday morning listening to you and Glen good luck brotha thank you for every nugget of wisdom you graced us with

@rohitrajoria8952 2 года назад

@erenn6476 2 года назад

I listen to WIP on a pretty regular basis. I am not a Philly sports team fan (except for Phillies) but I like Ray and have much respect for him. I was disappointed to hear that he is retiring. Best wishes to him and his family

Well said boys.

@flyhigh7918 2 года назад

He totally shouldn't leave yet!! He is a wealth of knowledge... absolutely irreplaceable and will be missed big time... someone who actually sat up there and knew what he was talking about instead of these other guys talking nonsense...please come back Ray!! But if not God bless and we will miss you!!!

@francischristian1994 2 года назад

Love you Ray Diddy

@mistertaz94 2 года назад

It's going to be different next year for sure. He will be missed in the booth. Wishing him the best in retirement.

@franknberry6397 2 года назад

The Best!!!!!!!

@donphilp7511 2 года назад

No no no no. I don't want him to retire. Is the best analyst in sports. Nobody ever told him to take his notepads off the desk. Ray should write a book and the cover picture should be of him looking down at his notes that he is flipping back-and-forth. All hail Ray.

@psjonesi55 2 года назад

Gonna miss those notebooks filled with player analysis; years after the player entered the league! Happy retirement!

@kevinkline7242 2 года назад

Ray Didinger is the best sports reporter in Philadelphia history.

@js4folk 2 года назад

Class Act! Congrats Ray. Well deserved. It was a pleasure working with you and I wish you all the best!

@Steve767676 2 года назад

We are gonna miss Ray's notes and takes on the Eagles

@brentdavis62 2 года назад

Enjoy your retirement have a couple drinks in there while you traveling love you Ray

@jrawblue24 2 года назад

Congrats Ray! You’ll be missed

@joewhip9303 2 года назад

I have had the distinct pleasure on a couple of occasions to meet and chat with Ray. A truly wonderful man. All the best in your retirement!

@philcarlino6942 2 года назад

I don't know a single Philadelphia sports fan who does not hold Ray in the highest regard. A staple to Eagles fandom. Ray, I am so delighted the Eagles won a Super Bowl while you were covering the team. Hopefully now you can set that analyst hat aside and allow yourself to be a fan once again. Wishing you a great retirement. Thank you for your dedication and hard work.

@ustuppy 2 года назад

Eagles football will never be the same. A huge loss.

@shawnbrown2726 2 года назад

A true class act. One of the all time best. He will be missed.

Im a New Yorker who visits Philly once a year to see my buddy to catch a phils game We met Ray and he is a great great dude and an awesome guy

@nathanthefoxgamer1131 2 года назад

Ray has a very smart and sharp football mind. Imagine if he joined the scouting team for the Eagles? This man will be missed, his presence, enjoy your retirement Ray!

@lornemalvo4492 Год назад

I selfishly hate this. There was nothing better than listening to Ray breakdown Eagles postgame enjoy retirement you are a Philly treasure.

@dannylunkenheimer8112 2 года назад

Diddy is the best. He will be missed.

@toddr737 2 года назад

I love listening to Ray, he is a real treasure for all Eagles fans! The human encyclopedia of everything Eagles. He leaves very big shoes to fill. God bless him and his family

@paullockyer7905 2 года назад

Read his columns in the Bulletin all the time.

@timgilmour8802 2 года назад

Those shoes will never be filled.

@MrTee12 2 года назад

Legendary!...What a legacy...now it's time to enjoy your family and grandkids!

@sunrae7680 2 года назад

@JamesJ30t 2 года назад

Kudos to Ray Didinger. Enjoy your retirement. 🙂

@jeanetteroberts4427 2 года назад

The best ever~ Best to you Ray. A true football scholar and gentleman.

@carlstephenson8901 2 года назад

To say I'll miss Ray is an under statement! Weekends on WIP on Eagle's game day will not be the same without Ray! Many tears shed that we won't hear him! I wish him all the happiness in his retirement! Philly media will not be the same! Will MIss you Ray!

@methylphosphatePOET 2 года назад

As a kid, I fell in love with the NFL, taking in the drama and poetry of NFL film classics on ESPN, narrated by John Facenda. The way Ray Didinger spoke and wrote about the Eagles reminded me of that NFL poetry; and the fact that we had him as Eagles fans made me feel as though there was something just a little bit more special about being an Eagles fan compared to fans of other NFL teams. I'm from the millennial generation and listening to Ray Didinger made me feel a connection will every Eagles fan who ever lived, going all the way back to the Norm Van Brocklin and Steve Van Buren fan bases. Truly the end of an era.

@jamesthomas9005 2 года назад

Woke up this morning, checked my sports and my heart was immediately broken at the announcement of Ray Didingers retirement. A lifetime of listening to Ray's analysis of Eagles football, how lucky am I. Thank you Ray for everything you have done for the city, the Eagles and my Sundays and Mondays.

@BlazeOfGlory742 2 года назад

Such a sad day for Philly sports😞

@bjt81366 2 года назад

Tough to see him go. All that wisdom, one of a kind type guy where do we go for insight.

@butcher9266 2 года назад

Everyone from philly and the surrounding area including myself are lucky to have been able to have a legend like Ray to listen to and get the most knowledgeable and insightful reports about not only the EAGLES , but other sports also. But we were also lucky to get to listen to so many interesting stories from his life that he encountered with all of philly's sports legends. He was and is truly the best in his profession.

@tookiezzz2898 2 года назад

Ask him to come back when we make the super bowl.

@RichStrickler 2 года назад

The best there was at what he did. Nothing but respect for Ray Didinger. I always thought he was knowledgle and qualified to have been the Eagles GM 25 years ago. They would have had more than one Super Bowl trophy...no doubt in my mind. Congrats Ray on a wonderful career!!!

@kerrygrabowski4343 2 года назад

I know it’s time for Ray to say goodbye but damn it really sucks knowing I won’t get to hear the gentleman speak his truth on Eagle Sunday’s. I just loved watching him each week write notes while the other cast members would speak lol. He will be missed severely!

@drkwingducky 2 года назад

Can’t believe he’s retiring, hope he’s doing okay.

@rickpaton7538 2 года назад

Man I'm going to miss Ray. No one in Philly sports spoke with more authority!

@jeezrick2748 2 года назад

The acronym GOAT gets overused but Ray Didinger deserves it

@brutallyhonestsportspodcast 2 года назад

Ray is the best! You deserve to walk away when you want but damnit wish you didn’t hahaha, Go Birds!!!!

@brentdavis62 2 года назад

Ray is football

@illadelphia62 2 года назад

I grew up with you Ray. Thank You for Everything. Glad we went out and got that Championship for you! Peace and Love to You and Yours.

@mrhumble2937 2 года назад

Need a "Ray Day" every year.

@natedole8276 2 года назад

Ray is maybe the smartest eagles mind ever.

@davee.9906 2 года назад

What can I say about the man that taught me more about Eagle's football then anyone else. I'm going to miss him and his wisdom.

@justinpg3414 2 года назад

There’s gonna be one hell of a vacuum of acumen without Ray Didinger.

@philipmclaughlin9636 2 года назад

The only other person I'll be sad to see leave is Merrill Reese. Congratulations Ray

@BRIANDER100 2 года назад

michael said ray is done with glenn macnow on wip. was his last day already done or is it coming up ?

@TheKaijudist 2 года назад

End of May. They have a few more shows

@mrhumble2937 2 года назад

He should have gave a year warning like Angelo. But I'm sure he will go on the radio here and there.

@hondaphan4172 2 года назад

End of an era...a sad day for Philly fans. Enjoy your retirement, Ray!

@Sportsbettor28 2 года назад

He was the best. Who will replace his spot on pre and post game?

@michaeldaily6373 2 года назад

Sad day for all Eagles fans. Almost hurts like when HK passed away.

Is he retiring from wip too? 😮

@larrycopeland2413 2 года назад

Congrats to Ray on his retirement. I will certainly miss his pinpoint analysis of the Eagles. I would like to be the way Ray is when it comes to being a Philly fan... humble, but don't you dare trot out those long-worn-out stereotypes of Philly sports fans. We're not perfect, and we know that... but we also have as good a sports town as any.

@theolamp5312 2 года назад

Who will replace Ray Didinger ? The only answer is no one.

@3cardmonty602 2 года назад

Where are we going to get intelligent analysis after an Eagles game now?

@susiewenner4215 2 года назад

Replace Diddy with someone more like Seth and not a homer like BB. Good or bad Ray and Seth say it like it is, BB is a homer. I along with many others will miss Ray tremendously but he deserves to enjoy his family and life other then football. Stay healthy Ray and have a wonderful rest of your life.
