    I think they are great announcers, some of my favorites to listen to calling college games, but I don't know if this will work out. 

     

    Same here.  I love watching some ABC/ESPN College Football games with this pair, but I'm not sure how well their game translates to the NFL.

     

    Part of what makes Herbie and Fowler so great at College Football is they genuinely seem to love the game.

     

    Part of what makes ESPN MNF so bad recently is the NFL and ESPN have been pushing Narratives, on and off the field, that their announcers have had to frame the game in terms of.  That and the ESPN MNF on air crew is what, about a dozen or so personalities counting the pregame and halftime clowns they have to squeeze in at some point

    President is C&C, and all these yes men he hires just want to please him. You just want to protect Trump, I get that, but they fired the guy to please Trump, no doubt about it. He hates any bad news at all, and this created bad news for him, the sailors be damned! 

     

    Trump doesn't get the benefit of the doubt at all anymore, except from people like you. 

     

    spoken like a political hack with little to no understanding of military structure

    You are basically saying that it's ok that this happened because a Republican administration punished a guy for trying to save the lives of his men. Is that correct? 

     

    You do know that.  Nevermind, forgot for a second who I was responding to

     

    But anyways, for those that are unsure of the military chain of command, the President has no direct action on who is placed in command or removed from command of any ship or installation.  Crozier's removal was ordered within the Navy's chain of command

     

    From a civilian perspective, Crozier's actions seem admirable.  But the military has standards not applicable to the civilian world.  Contact with the media is prohibited unless approved within the chain of command.

     

    But more importantly, from an OPSEC perspective, Crozier just announced to the world that CVN71 is out of commission.  If Russia, China, or South Korea wanted to try something, they have confirmation that a major asset of American military and diplomatic policy is not in play.

     

    Crozier did the wrong thing, but for the right reason.
