thronethinker 229 Posted October 12, 2019 I decided to start a separate thread after commenting on Gronk being hired for analysis... Does anyone even watch the Pre Game, Halftime, or Post Game analysts? I may have the TV on but its usually on mute. I cannot stand to watch that crap anymore as Its all just fluff and puff pieces that usually focus on a set few teams. I can get better stuff on youtube watching drunken fans making fools of themselves crying about their teams QB or coaches. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IDBillzFan 6,358 Posted October 12, 2019 The only time I watch any of it is if I'm waiting for the Bills game to start or it's halftime of the Bills game so I can catch up on other games. Otherwise, the mute button is quickly pressed every time Suzy Kolber introduces a halftime music video. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boatdrinks 3,713 Posted October 12, 2019 Mostly unwatchable these days. Ex -Pat talking heads turning most every discussion back to the Patriots, BB etc. I usually turn them off after a few minutes , at the first mention of NE. It rarely takes longer than that. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Florida Bills Fanatic 376 Posted October 12, 2019 Most of these shows are unwatchable. They fail to focus on relevant information about the game that you are watching or the games that are in progress. Having four or five people sitting on a table and all trying to talk or goof around is useless. I used to enjoy Tom Jackson and Chris Berman on ESPN. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I am the egg man 1,574 Posted October 12, 2019 Same can also be said about gushing gooey game announcers. Watch most games with volume off when I can. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EmotionallyUnstable 1,134 Posted October 12, 2019 (edited) I usually will watch the local pregame after listening to WGR before the game. I never watch the half time or post coverage, as I’m looking at other games, fantasy scores or highlights. if you’re looking for an alternative on Sundays, check out NFL’s mobile app. You can ever the highlights from each game complete with the broadcast crew’s original play call. There is no fluff, no comments from Pats guys or national media members relentlessly clinging to Brady’s sweaty jock.

CaptnCoke11 2,124 Posted October 12, 2019 I don’t watch them anymore. Talk about the same teams And players every week. They are more clown shows anymore than actual football talk. I’ll listen to WGR up until kick off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I'm at home, the TV doesn't even come on until about 12:50. When I have to hit the bar to see the Bills, I get there at noon. That's the only time I ever watch pre-game stuff and it's half-watching, at best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yungmack 492 Posted October 12, 2019 If I'm conscious at 8 AM ( the games start at 10 out here), I'll watch the one on CBSSN with Adam Schein. Also like their NFL Monday QB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bferra13 249 Posted October 12, 2019 The local pregame show before Murph and Wood come on WGR has become one of the worst things I've ever listened to. Not sure what they were thinking there. It used to be my refuge from the national junk, so now I got nothin. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KD in CA 5,270 Posted October 12, 2019 Nope. Pre-game shows are all horrible. Absolutely zero value. Post-game highlight shows are terrible. It's 70% yammering idiots, 30% highlights where they just cycle the same four games for hours on end. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LSHMEAB 3,726 Posted October 12, 2019 People used to watch them because there was only so much access the average fan had to to football. Now, not so much; at all. I'm "only" 38 and I remember waiting for Wednesday's USA Today to get a complete list of NFL stats. This was probably like 96-98. And I'm sure I watched pre game shows because you'd get Sunday, Monday, and Jaws and Sal Pal(I think) doing Edge NFL Matchup on Friday's (I think). Now, I can watch anything, anytime, anywhere. Very different world. I really don't even think the content of these shows was ever all that great; it was just the only place in town open. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I never watch it. Those idiots on Fox on Thursday night, broadcasting outside from NYC, high-fiving excited fans as though we were watching the today show are the worst. They're all bad. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree and would add the game broadcasters to the mix. Troy Aikman is brutal. He's usually very biased toward one team, comes across a bit whiny and is Captain Obvious at best with his color analysis. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mrbojanglezs 1,273 Posted October 12, 2019 No I don't I listen to a lot of Bills pod casts on my commute. I don't watch any of the pregame shows any of the post game shows and I don't watch any ESPN or NFL Network Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
