Does anyone really have anything against Nantz? He is great. I can see complaining about Romo, but not Nantz. Not when there are so many that are so much worse than him. He has an iconic voice. Plus, he has great respect for Josh Allen as a person and a player. I'd take Nantz over almost anyone.

 

But yes, Romo has gone sour. I liked him the first couple of years, but he has really gotten bad.

Romo is entertaining.  Nantz is solid.  
 

I am a big Kevin Harlan and Charles Davis fan. 
 

And for college there is no one like Gus Johnson!

 

Chris Spielman used to be good also.  Really funny when talking football.  He was one tough hombre when he played.  When Michigan played Ohio Stare in 1986 he had 26 tackles.  My God.

Jim Nantz was on a podcast sharing his predicted schedule for 2025:

 

In case you don't know Jim Nantz is the top broadcaster for CBS (predominantly home for the AFC). Nantz last season did 6 bills games. He often works many KC Games as well. He also predominantly is the voice of the 4:25 National Game Windows. He also has done many (I believe all but 2 of the 8 games between Allen and Mahomes.

 

1. Detroit @ Green Bay 4:25

2. Buffalo @ NY Jets 1:00

3. Cincinnati @ Minnesota 1:00

4. Baltimore @ Kansas City 4:25

5. Denver @ Philadelphia 1:00

6. Cincinnati @ Green Bay 4:25

7. Las Vegas @ Kansas City 1:00

8. Dallas @ Denver 4:25

9. Kansas City @ Buffalo 4:25

10. Buffalo @ Miami 1:00

11. Kansas City @ Denver 4:25

12. NY Jets @ Baltimore 1:00

13. Kansas City @ Dallas 4:30 / Buffalo @ Pittsburgh 4:25

14. Pittsburgh @ Baltimore 1:00

15. Green Bay @ Denver 4:25

16. Pittsburgh @ Detroit 4:25

17. Pittsburgh @ Cleveland 1:00

WEEK 18 TBD

WILD CARD TBD

DIVISIONAL TBD

CHAMPIONSHIP TBD

 

He has himself in ALL of the 4:25 National Games. If his schedule stands, he would be doing 4 Buffalo Bills games (2 at 1:00 and the other 2 in the 4:25 window.) He would be doing 5 Kansas City Chiefs games. 

 

Let me know your thoughts below

Nantz has an affinity for Buffalo.  I remember him telling a story how he announced a game after one of his parent died and he was flooded with condolences from Bills fans.

I couldn't disagree more about Al Michaels for like the last 10 years, he's so bad now. Enberg was so good, possibly my favorite. 

Endberg was never my favorite but he was just an absolute pro at whatever sport he was announcing.  Between his voice, delivery, and his verbiage he made every event he called special.

I don't get the Nantz hate. He loves the Bills and Allen.  Last year he did a deal thanking Bills Mafia.  Romo loves Allen.

I have mixed feelings on Romo.  He has a touch of John Madden in him with his general enthusiasm for the game.  He's also decent at explaining exactly what happened on both sides of the ball after the play as far play run, blitzes, coverages, etc..  However, Romo salivates over the QB's too much.  I'd hate Josh Allen because of Romo if I was a fan of another team.  Always liked Nantz though and they have some decent chemistry.  Basically the exact opposite of Michaels and Herbstreit.

Yeah.  I'm kind of baffled by the hatred too.  He's basically Mr. Rogers in the broadcast booth.

Charles Davis is one of my least favorite. I get other people like him, but I really don't see what others see in him.

Interesting.  I like his smooth delivery.  And he has good knowledge.  And he is a little down home.  (He played DB at Tennessee in the 80's I believe.)  Has some dry humor as well.  Just a personal preference.  Like Kevin Harlan and Gus Johnson.  

 

I am not a big fan of the Sunday Nite and Monday Nite guys.  I guess because its primetime, they are not as gritty, nuts and bolts type of broadcasters.  I don't need the fluff of a Mike Terico.  He is way too sugar coated and polished.  Doesn't come off like a hard core football guy.  Way too much praise about every star player every single week.

Davis, to me, says really obvious things as if it is deep insight. And sometimes, I just think he says things that are wrong. He just annoys me, but it isn't a big deal.

 

Everyone complains about Aikman and Buck, but I find them to be perfectly adequate. They are average or mediocre at everything, which is perfectly fine for a football game. I don't think they distract from the game too much. They don't say stupid things all that often, or provide great insight. They are just kind of there, and I am fine with that since there are so many who distract in a negative way.

 

One guy who I thing is really underrated is Spero Dedes. I think he is excellent, but he has had some rough partners.

 

Mike Terico is just a yes man for Collinsworth, and pompous at the same time. Not a fan at all. And ironically, I think Collinsworth has gotten less insufferable the past couple of years, but he is still pretty bad. But he does provide some good insight at times.
