MDH Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Ian Eagle and Dan Fouts are easily my favorite duo. Good to see them get a little recognition, even if some of the other parts of the list are dubious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiotAct Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I like Joe Buck and Troy Aikman, too... was surprised to see them ranked so high, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayjent Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 This list loses all credibility right here - 14.Beth Mowins, Jay Feely: CBS: They've only called a handful of games this season, but Mowins is solid. Sorry, I'm not against a female calling an NFL game, but she sounds like a Robot and talks way more than Jay Feely. Her voice is grating, and I just want Feely to start talking, so that she talks less. Feely was a kicker and he doesn't add much to the broadcast - I'm not sure if he isn't just nodding his head and binge watching something on Netflix during the broadcast. The "Chick n Kick" combo blows. Every time they call a game, it feels like a broadcast of Friday night college football game between Florida International and Louisiana Tech on ESPNU that no one is watching or even in the stands for - I would have preferred the field audio with no commentary. As for any team including Chris Spielman...it should always be last or next to last given the team above. Listening to Spielman call a game is just infuriating, his insight is often just flat wrong.

LABILLBACKER Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I could listen to Romo do any game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakin Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Can’t stand Chucky broadcasting. Every single play is the greatest play, by the greatest player in the league or possibly in the history of the league. Gruden comes across as disingenuous- bad for a colour man.

CLTbills Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 I can't stand Spero Dedes. No way should that group NOT be in the bottom 3. Romo has been top notch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hemma Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Gruden's glass is pretty much all-the-time full. I like that escape. It's good to hear optimistic, positive thoughts for a few minutes every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 My top 3 would be: 1. Nantz and Romo; 2. Michaels and Collinsworth; 3. Harlan and Gannon; After that there are individuals I like.... but not many duos. I think they are onto something with Chris Myers - he would be very good with a capable analyst. I like Archuleta as well. He did us home to the 9ers last season and I really enjoyed listening to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Fischer Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Romo is great but Nantz is terrible. So overrated. Other favorites: Play-by-Play: - Ian Eagle - Kevin Burkhardt - Kevin Harlan - Kenny Albert - Chris Meyers (Wish list: Gus Johnson/Romo for Super Bowl) Color: - Romo (let Romo be Romo - he can call every play pre-snap and I'd never complain) - Fouts - Gannon (IMO: all others are meh - especially Gruden, who is the worst of the worst) 9 hours ago, Bakin said: Can’t stand Chucky broadcasting.

Right, his commentary is rendered meaningless when every player and every play is great. He's the Captain Obvious of the Broadcast Booth.

GunnerBill Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Lot of love here for Eagle and Fouts.... I really dislike them. They are one of the worst for the cliche commentary.... the Fred Jackson went to Coe College and the Nick O'Leary has a famous grandfather type.... paint by numbers type announcing.

Bring him in during the off season to sit with the QB's and review 2017 film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Kenny. Actually, I don't like listening to Kenny Albert, I only like Marv when the Bulls are playing the Knicks in the Garden, and I don't really like Kevin Harlan that much! But, I know that's just a matter of taste. I honestly would prefer to watch most games with less play by play (almost none) and more color. 3 hours ago, GunnerBill said: Lot of love here for Eagle and Fouts.... I really dislike them.

I cannot tolerate Fouts. He's so out of touch. He's the complete opposite of Romo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
