In many ways the information was superior. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LabattBlue Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 It's good to see more people are jumping on the "Tess Sucks" bandwagon. I've been preaching to the choir for two years now. Hopefully he is done at years end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't watched MNF in years, I just listen to one of the teams radio broadcast online. it’s all Disney so not sure being on ABC would make a difference. ESPN can change the announcers...

KD in CA Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Don’t know why they got rid of Sean McDonough, he was the best MNF announcer in years. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterpan Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Let's address the elephant in the room. It's on ESPN!!! ESPN is on Cable. People are dropping cable by the millions, particularly young people. That means no one can watch the game anymore. You lose that 18-35 demographic and you are toast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacklabel Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Lamar Jackson could've farted in Joe Tessitore's egg salad sandwich and the guy would've thanked him for it. I agree with others that feel the announcers need to be unbiased but there are narratives to be pushed. These guys run production meetings and outline their talking points and probably get told to focus a certain amount of time and attention towards certain players and situations. It's lame. I actually can't stand listening to most of them. Al Davis on SNF is my guy and I used to not mind Collinsworth until he turned into a PFF shill and acts like every other play is the most incredible display of strength and skill he's ever seen. I wanted to throw a bowling pin at Rich Gannon this past Sunday. I wouldn't mind if Adam Archuleta had a bad taco and had to deal with the Hershey squirts for 72 hours. Even the hometown guy John Murphy I can't stand. He just doesn't sound good. I haven't heard much of Eric Wood but he seems to be doing well. Most games I keep the volume low and try not to pay attention to the commentary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevewin Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Sounds shallow - but for me some of it is just missing the sound of an iconic broadcasting voice, separate even from what they are saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbRiddick Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 I used to love listening to Al Michaels, Dan Diedorf and Frank Gifford. Since we're on the subject, what the hell is wrong with all the announcers now? Is it just me thinking everything was better in my youth, or are they all sh*t now? I like Romo, I like Michaels and don't actually mind Collinsworth. I miss guys like Enberg and Summerall. There must be some really talented guys doing college football radio or something. Where the hell are the talent spotters? It's like they just want guys to call the games now. With football games being 3 hours long they have all those stories and drama that develop over the course of a game. You need people who can explain the drama, people who can fill in the blanks during stoppages and time-outs, people who can make a game fun even when it's a blowout or a punt fest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
