metzelaars_lives Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 How will we ever know if our QB is putting up "Star Wars numbers" without Dierdorf? That'll be the day. Only the likes of Drew Brees can put up Star Wars numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filthymcnasty08 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Successful career….well done Mr. D. I do have to say that I didn't enjoy the sound of your voice when we were losing but you brought great insight and entertainment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucci Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I understand this to some degree but it seemed like Dierdorf said once a quarter..."You will never see a finer (pass, play, tackle, throw, play call, run, catch, quarterback, etc)." He was truly the king of hyperbole. Do you ever listen to Gruden on Monday night's? 3rd and 4th stringers are Hall of Famers to Gruden. He's far worse than Dierdorf.

MikeSpeed Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 If he is doing the Bills I turn down the sound and turn on the radio. Thankfully I have a DVR so I can sync the TV and radio. Now if we can only convince Phil Simms to retire too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Gruden is way over the top. I thought Dierdorf was very good on Monday Night Football and just fair on CBS. I didn't like listening to him when the Bills were losing, but I never thought he had a vendetta against the Bills. Yeah he kissed up to Brady and the Patriots, but show me a broadcaster who hasn't. Also, both he and Brady went to the same college, so to me that explains all the love. He definitely has made some silly statements, but again there a lot of broadcasters that do that. Best wishes to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homey D. Clown Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I'd like to take this opportunity to thank every religious deity available, and Tom Cruise for this wonderful news!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judman Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I wont miss him. I think there needs to be some turnover in the world of play-by-play and color personalities. The guy had staying power though, I'll give him credit for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRH Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I liked him when he played for the Cardinals (alongside Conrad Dobler btw), and he and Jim Hart had a pretty good steak restaurant at Union Station in St. Louis. As a broadcaster, meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buftex Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I admire the class of the people in this thread, wishing him well. I am not so classy. Dierdorf will go down as one of the worst color commentators in the history of the NFL. He offers no insight whatsoever-- not even the insight normal commentators offer from their bolierplate talking points. It's somewhat of an embarassment to the sports broadcasting profession that CBS couldn't find anyone better than him. JR, I nornally agree with you on a lot of things..but I think you are way off in your assessment here... while game broadcasts are longer than ever, the amount of time for analysis is less than ever. So, in that sense, the broadcasting game may have passed Dierdorf by, but I think the guy is extremely knowledgable...head and shoulders above the average muckity-mucks who do Sunday afternoon games. One thing this thread re-inforces to me, Bills fans, as a whole, are pretty thin-skinned and have extremely select hearing. And, oh yeah, they hold onto grudges for percieved slights of their team for decades...from the comments here, I think many will only be happy when we have graduates from the Ryan Seacrest school of broadcast doing games. Do you ever listen to Gruden on Monday night's? 3rd and 4th stringers are Hall of Famers to Gruden. He's far worse than Dierdorf. Hear hear! Now, I see saying how much they love "Chuckie" all the time... I think he is about as bad as it gets...it doesn't help that Tirico is as bland as it gets.
