David was also CBS Radio's lead play-by-play voice for its "

(Another example of CBS needing a substitute for David came during the 1999 NFL Conference Championship games, where the "Monday Night Football" radio team was slated to cover the NFC Championship Game between the Falcons and the Vikings; since the Jets were in the AFC Championship game against the Broncos David was unavailable for the game andJohn Rooney subbed for him but David returned to call the Super Bowl.)David left both positions after
Super Bowl XXXVI to take a position with the Dolphins. His contract was not renewed after the 2004 season.Feud with Neil Rogers

Neil Rogers , who tagged David with the name "Moe Howard David" and continuously mocked David withThree Stooges -type comedy bits featuring Moe and his sidekick,Steve "Goldy" Goldstein , another personality on the same station. Even though David is long gone, Rogers and his listeners still refer to him, and Rogers constantly plays a clip of the Moe character saying "doy doy doy."Current assignments
