Augie Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 (edited) I have never been in favor of seeing another person lose their job, their livelihood. ........then along came Booger. He was bad, but then he made Dawkins sound like a dirty player with bad intentions in the playoff game when he mildly pushed a defender chasing his QB. He’s on the “Idiot List”, along with Marshall Faulk. . Edited May 10, 2020 by Augie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calls every play like it's a last second touchdown to win the Superbowl. I liked Tess. At least he was trying to bring some interesting takes. Honestly, Booger is such a black hole of an announcer, I don't care who you put with him, they are going down... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 (edited) So who will be the guys in the booth? They said it will be internal. Maybe Dan Orlovsky in the color commentary role? I think he’s pretty good. play by play is tougher. Who is already at espn that can do it? Edited May 9, 2020 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Brown Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 A no brainer would for them to just bring Harlan and Warner in from Westwood One. We already know what we're getting and it would be a significant upgrade. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flomoe Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 The bigger problem, other than Booger and Tess, is that ESPN is producing an unwatchable broadcast. It doesn’t matter who is on the broadcast, it’s still another liberal abomination production from ESPN. Sports is not their main focus anymore, and it’s a shame. Their main focus now is making sure they have checked every “minority” box, talked about every boo hoo story and eliminate the basic foundation of what they’re broadcasting......the game of football and everything that it entails. ESPN is about entertainment, not sports. They need to cover the liberal agenda and not the basics of the game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romo tells us what a team should be doing in any given situation in real time. He explains why a play worked and what was excellent about a player’s performance, or what was bad about it if it didn’t. He’s just about always right. As a game analyst, Romo is pretty great. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njbuff Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I wish we could have the option of having crowd noise without announcers on our remotes.

How much easier would it make watching football with no announcers but hear everything in the stadium? A long time ago (40 years or so) they actually did this for one game. Just field noises, crowd noise and refs. Then immediately afterwards all of the post game crew talked about what a disaster it was. But I kinda liked it. If I had a choice of audio stream I’d probably take that over most announcers. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see if you've got a problem with his style, but no other announcer provides as much insight into the game/strategy and it's not even close IMO. Beth Mowins would be a disaster. Her voice is grating and her excitement, actually everything about her style, feels forced. She needs to stick to those backwoods late night college games for a while, like 20 more years. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, it's how they come across and deliver it. IMO, he tries too hard. There's not many good color guys out there. He may be one of the better one's, but that's not saying much. 1 hour ago, GaryPinC said: I can see if you've got a problem with his style, but no other announcer provides as much insight into the game/strategy and it's not even close IMO.

It's a low bar. Mowins? no argument here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gugny Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Ugh. I see that Steve Levy's name is among the front-runners. If there's one thing I cannot stand, it's when announcers/analysts yell every time they speak. Like that chick who was doing the schedule release coverage on NFLN. She never stopped yelling. I'm fine with Levy if he can keep that yelling under control. Even if he doesn't, anything is better than Booger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
