DrDawkinstein Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 There are a bunch of broadcasters that do, imo, a subpar job. however, i dont think i could do much better so i wont bother listing them. i DO really like the Monday night crew. Mike Tirico, John Gruden, and Jaws are really good in the booth. Tirico is a great play-by-play guy, and between Gruden and Jaws you have two of the best play-recognizing minds in the business. I love when they breakdown plays and show you something like "see how the outside CB's first step was to the left? This causes the WR to run here, and the QB cues off of this read to make that play", all the little stuff. Love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tirico can call plays but definitely doesn't have a high football iq, don't like when he "thinks" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbosrrgood Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I am going a bit out of scope here, but has anyone else listened to Roy Jones try to announce HBO boxing? Sounds like a sexually confused 12 year old boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Jaws and Gruden also, those guys actually have a clue about the game and can articulate their thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Tirico can call plays but definitely doesn't have a high football iq, don't like when he "thinks" Thats what Jaws and Gruden are there for, and they do a great job at it. Even correcting Tirico when they have to. But I dont mind Tirico's comments if they spark a conversation from Gruden/Jaws. Great crew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I consider myself a pretty big football fan (as would just about everone here), but when these guys break things down it really gets you to understand football at a deeper level. It's probably way too much for the average or casual fan, but I absolutely love watching a game and feeling like I learned something I didn't know. If they had a weekly show where they just broke down plays on film I'd watch it and learn (I think Jaws used to have a show)..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwight in philly Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Favorite - Gus Johnson. He just makes sports fun. I'll gladly make time to watch a Week 13 matchup between the Bengals and Rams if GJ is calling it. Least Favorite - Kevin Harlan. Just grating. kevin harlan has to be marv albert's love child.

gomper Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Harlan is very good for basketball when the action and the details come lightning fast but he applies the same approach to football and it sounds horrible. Murph and Kelso on the radio have become one of the best in the League. Some think that Kelso over thinks the play but as another poster said to the effect "if as big a football fan as me learns something ...then job well done." I agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
