Kiva Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Romo needs to have vocal cord surgery to fix his permanent vocal fry. He sounds like he’s constantly gurgling on flem. He should be taken off the air. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Brown was surprisingly good.at play by play. My expectations were low but if you told me he was the Bills regular radio guy I’d have believed it. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 37 minutes ago, WotAGuy said: How has Chris Brown been with calling the game? His calls of the two kickoff returns that WGR replayed this week are great. Wonder if that holds up over the course of a game. Thinking about tuning him in this week. It’s too bad NFL+ doesn’t allow replays of the radio broadcasts anymore. Would like to know if they are out there anywhere. Chris Brown in Bills - Patriots game was best play by play man in years. He actually got names right. Watched game on NFL Network since I did not get to watch game live just listen to it and was disappointed. Replay might be available on Audacy. 18 minutes ago, Boatdrinks said: Agree. I thought Brown was surprisingly good.at play by play.

He spoke how kind people were to him after his mom passed right before the Steelers game Nantz and Romo are the top team on CBS and they’re well aware Buffalo is ratings gold for the foreseeable future. They have no choice but to cozy up to the Bills players and fan base just like they did with Brady and the Pats.

I have to agree that the shine has worn off Romo a bit. I don't love his style of announcing. A bit hyperactive and talkative for my taste. The great ones know when to speak and when not to speak. Space can be more powerful than words. Let the viewers hear and feel the noise and atmosphere of the game itself from time to time. It doesn't always need to be "Aaawwwhhh Jeez Jim, I dunno if I love that decision there, do you? I mean it's...there's lots of ways you can go, but with the game where it is and the players playing like they are...I dunno, ahhh I dunnnoooow". Just STFU from time to time, my guy.

FLFan Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Romo is a competent analyst, although he can certainly be annoying a times. One of the few good ones. Far better than Troy Aikman, for example, or Chris Collinsworth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like he is trying too hard to express emotion on big plays, but it is obviously understandable. Reminds me of when Mike Tirico started calling MNF for ESPN in the late 2000's after being a Sportscenter anchor for so long. He was kinda meh at first, but now Tirico is one of the best and most versatile play by play guys around Edited January 12, 2023 by buffblue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have concluded after the game that I think the "competitor" in Romo tries to talk up the other team (especially when they are not favored) in what has to happen for them to win or saying things like the "Pats are finally coming around this season, they are peaking", etc that we heard on Sunday. So as Bills fans, when the other team is stringing some plays together or score a TD and they have "momentum", he begins talking them up and aggravating us fans who are already frustrated about the other team making plays.
