GETTOTHE50 Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 All those pregame and halftime shows are terrible. They need some serious restructure and talent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now they can go argue in Hardee's every Friday morning for breakfast if they want to continue the tradition. Wouldn't they want to try Waffle House? They serve pork chops at Waffle House, did you know that? 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And sadly, it'd probably get views... maybe even a Hardee's sponsorship 😅 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logic Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Good. For one thing, Esiason and Simms are basically interchangeable to me. I'm not convinced they're not the same person. If you moved them both around a bunch in front of me like Three Card Monte, and then asked me to identify who was who for $1,000 , I couldn't do it. I'd argue the network barely needed one of them, but certainly didn't need both. Their pre-game show had really begun to feel old, cranky, outdated, and lacking in excitement and personality. If the Bills are getting younger and re-tooling, then by God, CBS can do it too! 1 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and sometimes change is just good unless you have something amazing like TNT's Inside The NBA crew. There's probably more talented guys out there.

If they can do it for sci-fi movies and television, they can do it for broadcasters. Look for a CGI John Madden, with Caliendo doing the voice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweats Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 52 minutes ago, Bleeding Bills Blue said: Interesting. The Fox NFL Sunday is still rolling deep with Terry and Jimmy despite both being terrible. Terry talks like he got hit in the head one too many times, talking about absolutely nothing besides making only himself laugh with his absolute nonsense jibberish.......and Johnson talks like he's still on the sidelines, not knowing where exactly he is, clueless in every aspect, droning on and on and on and on about a game that has passed him by. Its unwatchable and yet, they're still going strong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkady Renko Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 The problem is that they have too many people in these studios. They just fake laugh about everything instead of having meaningful discussion. TNF has a better crew than either Fox or CBS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's probably good for the pregame and halftime shows, but he's got to leave before the postgame show. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As legendary Kentucky basketball coach Adolph Rupp would say, “Don’t speak unless you can improve the silence.” And all too often they don’t. I wish we could have an option to silence the announcers s d just hear the sounds of the field like they capture with those clear parabola antenna looking things.

I guess it is both. It is like the NFL. The broadcasters are getting above their cap with these veteran hosts and they are going with rookies with cheaper contracts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry's old annoying and i can't even understand him half the time, and Jimmy is just old and out of it (he's 80). We need more younger guys that like to yell and be controversial 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"He couldn't spell cat if you spotted him the c and the a" 🤣🤣 Well, for a guy supposedly that dumb, ol' Terry has done pretty well for himself ... 4 SB rings, HOF, and a second successful career in broadcasting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
