Regardless of one’s personal take on Madden, he was very popular. Manning gets a very high “ Q score” or whatever , so he has the broad appeal that networks covet. It doesn’t matter if he’s as analytical as Romo, it’s simply that people like him. That’s gold for TV. yeah booger is likable... I’m not sure I agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was impressive enough to whoever was doing the hiring. We have no idea what the criteria were. Anecdotal evidence would suggest Booger isn’t very popular with viewers. Their interest in Manning , who scores very highly in that category, would align with this. Regardless of one’s personal opinion of Manning, a high number of viewers find him likeable. 37 minutes ago, BruceVilanch said: What is Dennis Miller up to?

Al Michaels seemed fond of it and also displayed some quick wit of his own in his exchanges with Miller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s his key asset. His detractors are the poor seemingly canned analysis, colloquial Louisiana mannerisms and lack of on the fly insight. ive heard manning attempt broadcast analyst as a stand in at least once. He was choppy, not insightful and more than Beth Mowens hard to listen to. In fact I’d rather listen to booga read a queue card than Peyton if we are just talking broadcast voice. i think his brand name will bring viewers initially but he’s going to shrivel up and fade away when he realizes as everyone else Will that he’s no Romo in the booth.

eball Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Just get that idiot Tessatore off the air. I will NOT watch another NFL game with this over-excited, everything-is-a-huge-moment moron doing the play by play. If the Bills are playing and he's the announcer I'll mute the TV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Dan Patrick wants, put a camera directly behind the offense and let Peyton predict the plays.

Don't try to be romo. Just say what you see and how you would make adjustments. Quick analysis on where the ball should have gone when a QB makes a mistake. Etc.

Come on now, w streaming thru PC and smart TV you mean to tell me we can’t have custom in-game camera and audio options? That’s how any of these services/sports packages might get my dollar. But then again, how would I have any idea what a laugh-riot the all new Bob ❤️ Abishola is gonna be? i enjoyed the removal of DIck Enberg and Dierdorf and just having the crowd noise and announcing over the PA for that game in the 80s off course the media wrote their incendiary pieces attacking the concept a week before NBC went on-air without announcers or let me press a button and cut off Collinsworth and Romo (sometimes) and others who add nothing but blather to what i just saw with my eyeballs on the field 3 hours ago, Teddy KGB said: No one likes booger.

dpberr Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 (edited) The problem I see with Manning is that he wants everyone to like him and that's part of his lucrative image. He won't say anything remotely candid on air. You will not get Tony Romo. Why bother trade for Al Michaels? Just burn it to the ground and find new, fresh talent.

TheFunPolice Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I'm interested to see how Manning does, if it happens. Football broadcasts BADLY need an influx of new talent. ESPN's MNF product has been garbage for a couple years now. It's embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
