NFL Commentators -
Is it just me or what - Watching the Monday Night game right now and these yo-yo's are a bunch of morons. Be better if they just kept their mouths shut. And it's not just this game - seems like every year it gets worse - maybe there should be an IQ test or some damn thing before they are allowed in the booth.
Anyway - end of rant. Ron |

Re: NFL Commentators -
I think what they are doing in the booth is all about commentary upon commentary and they don't let the game present itself as it is. I don't need to listen to these guys every second of every play,,,just present the game in it's simplest form with a few jokes and personal stories and then watch the game along with us. If there is a good play then by all means talk about it,,but if its a play that nets no yards I dont need to hear what they should have done,,,we already know.

Re: NFL Commentators -
To me there has never been anything as good as Madden/Summerall. That was the best.
I will say there are a few good teams now though: Nantz/Simms Enberg/Cross Buck/Aikman Other than that, it is a real hit or miss. There is no doubt much more bad teams working games than good. What ever happened to Don Criqui? I like him too.

I agree Aikman/Buck is a decent team. Enberg is on the decline. Phil Simms is the absolute worst announcer on the effing planet. The guy suffers from diarrhea of the mouth and adds no useful content whatsoever. Thank goodness you're yankin' my chain on that pair.

Honestly though, the announcing team doesn't really mean a whole lot to me. It is secondary to the game, and by secondary I mean it is about a 90/10 split. I would still take Dennis Miller any day, he at least was funny half the time and didn't say the same chit over, and over, and over. Ala Madden.

Can't deal with Simms ego and Buck pretty much ruined baseball on TV for me. Miss the Madden/Summerall days.

Re: NFL Commentators -
Always liked Kornheiser on his radio show and PTI, but I can take him or leave him on MNF. Summerall and Madden near the end were the worst ever. Madden and his nonsensical rambling and Pat's alcohol depleted brain causing him to get every other players's identity wrong. Also Bryant Gumbel was pathetic on NFL network.
On the plus side, Al Michaels is as good as it gets doing any sport. He is so good he makes Madden tolerable. Dick Enberg in his prime was a great one as well.

Re: NFL Commentators -
Wow. Just wondering, how did Buck ruin baseball for you? I kinda like Buck on Saturday afternoons and WS coverage. He's a little dry, but ok.

Agree...what ruins it for me is Aikman and every other former Cowboy announcer who wont shut up about Romo and every other current Dallas player.

True. He is even more annoying than Phil Simms. And that's damn near fooking impossible.

Re: NFL Commentators -
Simms and Greise (Griese?) are terrible. They spend the whole game reminding you that they were God incarnate when they played, and whoever is playing QB for the teams they're covering should have stayed in bed that day

I'm still debating if he is any worse than that jackass Dennis whatever from a year or so ago on MNF. But, I do agree that he burns me like jalapeños on hemorrhoids. All of the BS in the last few years has driven me away. MNF used to mean more to me than religion or sex. Not any more. Now I'll only watch it if it is my Broncos beating up on some poor team like Peter's Chargers!

Re: NFL Commentators -
Nothing is as bad as listening to Madden now. I could get by without a Hall of Famer who circles butt-sweat and grass stuck in a helmet and tells viewers "thats how you know they are playing hard". Also, he makes so many wrong calls or misses things on every play, like mis-identifying penalties or plays. He is just too old and out of touch with the game.
