Steptide Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 The problem with Beth mowens is she doesn't sound hot. If she sounded hot, or even was hot, guys would love her as a broadcaster. She has kind of a deep voice for a chic. I'm not even trying to be mean, just true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt like I was watching a Miami feed. this is just it. feely had more to say that was worthwhile and she just droned on and on. she needs more work and experience. but she was not that exciting. better than others out there, though. for the record, i don't find romo all that amazing.

klos63 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 i honestly don't pay much attention to the announcers, they add very little to the game. She didn't bother me except for the fact that both of them commenting on the weather all game was ridiculous. It wasn't windy or snowing, just cold. Big deal, it's december, it's cold in many NFL cities now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should have announces like the Alberts that have their hair styled before each broadcast. Former football players in the studio wearing makeup? not very masculine.

Unfortunately, he (Dopey) and other posters took it to this level. It's not about gender. It's not about "we can't have a female calling a sports game". It's simply about the fact that her voice is horrible, annoying, like sand paper, and that she got the names of players wrong as well as not knowing and laughing at the tendencies of players. She (as well as Feely) were a distraction to the game time experience. Mowins being a female does not exempt her from criticism. She simply doesn't have the voice for calling an NFL game. She can work on learning personnel but it won't change that fact. Edited December 17, 2017 by phypon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skibum Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Completely ignoring the gender aspect, I think both of them have obnoxious broadcasting voices - the tone and the delivery. You have to be smooth, regardless of your natural pitch. There are plenty of women out there who can call a great game and could also do color better than Jay Feely. I also can't stand Spero Dedes with that phony raspy sounding thing he does. It's like he's invoking some kind of Inuit throat-singing. CBS has a few duds in their lineup this year.

And if you don't like one of the hardest working announcer in sports, a CNYer who has been calling games nationally for a quarter of a century, well, respectfully suck it. But glad to be here!

I thought mowins provided more astute analysis than feely. Agreed. I thought she did a decent job, other than saying "McCoy" when she meant Taylor - twice. The play-by-play wasn't bad, and she did pretty well in analyzing situations and critiquing the officials. She's not as good as Nantz, but she's better than anyone on Fox. (I can't stand Joe Buck.)

HardyBoy Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 (edited) Counting down the days for fivethirtyeight to write an article talking about how the 'grating' comment is 100% due to her being a woman/her gender, referencing evidence based neuroscience research proving many in here are sexist. Granted, it's initially subconscious uncontrolled bias how you instantly feel, but you control how you respond to those biases. If they do write that article, and reference this board, some people will not come off in a good light, which will shine on all bills fans...thanks.

Well, it’s not like she was any more “grating” than the countless other unqualified male announcers. We need more Tony Romo’s, and less of everyone else.

It seems like whenever it’s 65 in September they mention how “balmy” it is. As if 65 is unusual for September in Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
