Monday night football

Last night was the first time I saw the mannings commentating …… they had their faces in little boxes on the side of the screen on all the time…. It was very weird and obnoxious

And they're in their respective basements (supposedly, like COVID is still a factor) just like Brandon. Annoying. I just watch the regular broadcast.

That's how you know a national play by play guy is great....you think he hates your team. That's just the announcer being neutral. What you see as digs and snide remarks are just little known facts to audiences outside of New York. The last time the Cardinals were in the world series (awhile ago to be sure) everyone in St. Louis was pissed that Buck was hating on the Cards. In actuality, he was being neutral. His first job was calling Cardinals' games. Funny how that works.

Buck is a Clown with a capital 'C' thats whats funny.

2016 World series the the drinking phrase was 'Kyle Schwarber'
Every time Joe Buck says Kyle Schwarber you had to take a drink.
Buzzed by the second inning, bent by the fourth and puking by the seventh.
The best meme was a picture of Buck taken from behind head tilted back holding up a poster of Schwarber with one hand!
Great player great story but it was so over cooked by Buck

Have a good listen to him when he locks in on a player for the night...

I’ll have to give Romo another chance…. I ignore the guy now but lately so many people I know are praising him.
I also think Brady is going to be a dud commentating I don’t see any personality there

Romo is really good as far as game smarts goes - yes, give him a chance.

I've listened to him since he was 18 when his dad got him into the radio booth during a Cardinals game and then walked out for 3 innings leaving Joe on his own. That was on the 100,000 watt flagship station. Somebody thinks he's good, networks keep paying him tons of money to be their top play by play guy. I don't know Joe, although I know people who do. I just think he's a good announcer. It is a tough job, especially on a national level and I think he is one of the best.

But some people just like to hate. Look at all the shit being heaped on Al Michaels because he wasn't "excited enough" at the end of the Jags' game. Whatever. Haters hate. Players play. Hater....

You have an opinion as do I (along with 7 games of video taped evidence to support my position)
You don't have a Joe Buck poster do you?
Seriously though he grabs hold of some story line that's some human interest story (not game related) and beats it to death so if you're not a fan of that team...

"Yes Joe, lets hear about the dog he lost when he was five!" :D

Sorry, he's trash compared to Romo or Michaels (my opinion and you know what they say)

Every national announcer does that. I think you're just bitter because the Indians (guardians is the dumbest team name I have ever heard) lost to the f'n dog sh!t Cubs. :(:eek::oops::cool:

Romo is 10 levels below Buck or Michaels. But he is an analyst and not play by play. Distinctly different jobs. Of course everyone is entitled to their opinion...

Amen.
We go to the Jake to see the Indians.

I'll give highslice credit for being right about one thing, yes Guardians is without a doubt the dumbest name for a pro sports team ever.

I'm always right. If you question that just ask me...:cool:

I know if the Indians had beaten the Cubs in 2016 you'd be a Joe Buck fan boy...And no, I don't have a Joe Buck poster, it is a blow up doll.:eek:

Lol!

Even if the Tribe had won, still no way I'd be a Joe Buck fan but at least I would have been able to say "You're holding up the poster of a guy that was on the losing team Joe!

Neither the Browns nor the Indians will win a championship while I'm alive - that much I'm pretty sure of!
