dpberr Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Remember the scene in Breaking Bad where Mike tells Walt about the dangers of half measures? Fox and the NFL should watch that scene. Getting rid of color rush jerseys and photocopying your Sunday crew into Thursday nights are half measures to solving the problem: The NFL is the only entity that really wants Thursday night games. Fans don't want them. Players don't. Obviously above average sportscasters don't want them either. The best thing about Thursday night games- the little movies before them - will probably be polluted by some disaster that involves both Rob Riggle and Chris Hardwick.

Fadingpain Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Greatly dislike all 3 of these guys. Hard to say which I dislike more. Bradshaw, in particular, is just horrible. Has one of the best/easiest 7 figure jobs in America. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klos63 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I'll give them a chance, but those are 3 people i could go forever without ever listening to again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TNF is ratings gold. More so than MNF. Players will complain about everything, while the rest of us have to work as hard on thursday as we do the rest of the week.

I love his stuff on the radio and could see him being the MNF color guy. He has a good voice, fresh analysis, and isn't a homer. ...Bradshaw is a hoot.....favorite line was, "MY Axis of Evil is my THREE ex-wives".......saw him as guest speaker at a charity luncheon in Roch-Cha-Cha......he rambled on for 45 minutes and nobody knew what the hell he was talking about.....CTE..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know what it is, exactly, that Bradshaw has on the FOX CEO? A crime caught on video? Embarrassing photos involving an affair? Emails suggesting the CEO is a racist? What is it!? No way the guy remains employed based on merit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaDexter Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 I was hoping for Dexter Manley, PacMan, and Bradshaw... just to make sure we get the most intellectual coverage.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 (edited) I saw the thread title, and immediately had the urge to write the first line of a joke...'two defensive ends and a dummy walk into a bar'... Yes, yes, I know. The 'dummy' has a seven figure income. Edited June 10, 2018 by Ridgewaycynic2013 The 'dummy' might well be the guy writing these...

Max Fischer Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Personally, I don't see a reason for any pre-games shows. The shows are pre-internet dinosaurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just edited to show drives, key plays. No cheesy third party narration, just the audio from the original game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
