Oh no.

I've always liked seeing him. There's always a twinkle in his eye. I really hope he's well.

SuffolkGirl · #3 05-01-2009, 05:07 PM

My thoughts and well wishes are with him and his family.

Hope everything turns out OK.

I thought he looked sprite on the broadcast - he was joking around with Nancy O'Dell. Hope he gets better real soon.

I hope Bob gets well soon.

Have met him a few times - just a great guy.

Good thoughts and prayers.

Great news. I wish him well, it was great to hear from him today and I'm sure we all look forward to seeing him in the future. Get well soon Bob!

I don't want to speak for the doctors but if he had any of that drink they were making for Tiki Barber during the segment on Bravo, that might've done it. From what I could tell, it should've been renamed the Lights out Julep.

He couldnt handle Bethany Frankel

Glad to hear Bob Neumeier is doing okay. He and Mike Battaglia and Bob Costas were my favorites on NBC's telecasts (Gary Stevens is good too, but I mean back when I first started watching horse racing).

Steve, I don't suppose you can get anywhere near the NBC folks on Saturday and tell them we're sending our thoughts and prayers to Bob, could you?

I think he calls or called the Boston Bruins games, hope he gets well especially with the Bruins looking to go deep this playoffs.

Neumeir called Bruins games on the radio in the late 90s/early 2000s. Some lean years for the Bs, but Bob did his best to make the games as enjoyable as possible. Have always been a big fan of his; hockey, track and field and especially horse racing. Here's to a speedy recovery.

Merlinsky · #19 05-16-2009, 08:14 PM

Great to see you back Bob! I was looking at the tv and went 'whoa, he's all better!' I did a double take when he came on. Even if he was fine and recovering for some reason I figured he might take a longer break. Maybe it's just because the Preakness always feels like it comes up before you know it.
