I heard Jon Gruden a few weeks ago discussing football and thought that he must suck as an announcer. He must have had an off game. I really thought he brought a lot to the booth in terms of not just being able to say what the players were trying to do on a particular play, but what they should have been doing when they didn't perform. This was the first Monday night game I've seen this year (too cheap for cable) and I must say I like him in the booth.

I also like Troy Aikman (which is hard to admit because I hated him when he played). I can't stand Chris Collinsworth, who always sinks into gushing on and about a particular player, and never really has anything constructive to say. Joe Buck isn't bad, he just annoys me. :icon_smile: I've always thought that Al Michaels was good. John Madden, despite the Maddenisms, really knew football. I kind of miss hearing him call games, plus he made/sponsored an awesome video game :icon_smile: .

Thoughts? (even though I know I am going to get ripped for the Madden thing).

If Chris Collinsworth would realize that we all know he played WR and stopped reminding us, he'd be half as annoying.

I just wish Gruden would remove his head from Favre's crotch long enough to come up for air.
If I was Deanna, I'd start asking Brett if he dumped John Madden for Gruden.

lol

I like Gruden, despite his man crush. (and sorry, no one has a bigger man crush than Marstc09.. lol) Collinsworth is another guy I liked. Kornheiser I enjoyed. Jaws is classic. Al Michaels and Madden were awesome. Aikman I'm ok with. Billick is another new guy I like.

Two guys I really dislike is Joe Buck and Theisman.

Other than that, I don't really care about anyone else.

Wasn't he the one who said "The Buck Stops Here!" or was it his father.

The best announcers for any game ever.......years ago when they had NO announcers for a game on TV. Anyone remember that one? I did my own play by play and it was terrific.
Anyone for a Weenie Roast?

Gruden annoyed the piss out of me Monday...hey guys, don't know if you knew but Favre turns 40 next week.

I swear he had to have mentioned that 40 times....

What really annoyed me was after one of his passes....

"THAT'S GENUINE 1997 BRETT FAVRE RIGHT THERE FOLKS!!!" Give me an effin break dude. Open mouth, release Brett's balls Gruden....for everyone's sake.

beast (15m) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere
beast (16m) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.
beast (17m) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

wpr (6h) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.
wpr (6h) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.
wpr (6h) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.

Zero2Cool (20h) : Even Stevie Wonder can see that.
Zero2Cool (20h) : Nah, you see Lions OC leaving to be HC of Bears is directly related to Packers.

Mucky Tundra (19-Jan) : Do or die time for the Rams
TheKanataThrilla (19-Jan) : Kicking field goals are impressive
Mucky Tundra (19-Jan) : Oh that might be a backbreaker
Mucky Tundra (19-Jan) : That's what I thought too, just wasn't sure
