drnykterstein Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 That list isn't even half of it. It's a good start though. - They made up a stat for him called "hits" and gave him like 60 of them - Added to his tackle numbers to make him look good - Several wonderful lines such as "Man, everyone is just rooting for Tedy, even Buffalo fans." - Several times playing the song "Hero" with closeups and clips of ol' Tedy - One time they put the camera on Bruschi and only Bruschi in the middle of a Bills offensive play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bflo83 Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 -Hearing the three stooges rave about what a great play Bruschi's miss of Roscoe Parrish in the backfield was. -The introduction of the "hits" statistic for Teddy -The announcers giving Teddy a three hour long stroke On the up side, they did catch him drooling/about to throw up on the sideline in the first quarter and to Brusci'ss credit he blew right past Suzy Kolber when she wanted to interview him after the game.

drnykterstein Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 -Hearing the three stooges rave about what a great play Bruschi's miss of Roscoe Parrish in the backfield was493259[/snapback] Yes, Parish broke a tackle by Tedy, and someone else tackled Parish. Then they showed the replay several times, each time that talk about how great Bruschi's tackle was Also... Parish did a WR reverse or something and then was evading defenders and swtiched fields. The commentators said something to the effect of "He switched fields to run away from Bruschi" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ch19079 Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 a quote from the announcers. (from what i can remember) "i bet even the Buffalo Bills want him to have a great game today". i think that says it all. but if it doesnt, just before commercials they showed bruschi and played the "Hero" song. you would have thaught it was Pat Tillman reborn or something.

Omar Little Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 The head announcer Mike Patrick also said even the Bills were rooting for Bruschi. I almost threw up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fezmid Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Yes, Parish broke a tackle by Tedy, and someone else tackled Parish. Then they showed the replay several times, each time that talk about how great Bruschi's tackle was They gushed about the missed tackle at first, but later started saying things like, "Well, he didn't make the tackle, but he slowed the guy down so everyone else could make the tackle." It was bad. You're lucky that you missed it. CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was bad. You're lucky that you missed it. CW 493278[/snapback] They pretty much sounded like three old ladies sitting on a porch on a sunday afternoon, knitting, talking about how great the preachers sermon was that day. Just agreeing with each other left and right. None of them really have their hearing aids turned up loud enough to know what the preacher or the other old ladies were saying.

You all should be more concerned with the quality of the Bill's performance, not on ESPN. Concentrate on the things that matter. 493281[/snapback] I think the order of the day goes like this: Concerned about-- 1) the obviously slanted refs 2) The dominating performance of the bills offense 3) the missed block that allowed holcomb to get sacked and fumble 4) The awful announcers.

JDG Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 No it wasn't that bad.... it was worse. The most egregious sin was cutting away from the action to air dumb interviews. During the strip-sack on Holcomb that completely changed the game, an interview with Kraft about liability waivers was airing.... Ugh! JDG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CW 493428[/snapback] that was Josh Reed, and not the only time the misidentified Reed my favorite was on a stuff or a sack, i forget which, that involved Kelsay and Bannan Mike Patrick was like....... ... ... Chris Kelsay ... ... ... and #97 ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... Justin Bannan ... ... ... The 2nd round pick out of Colorado you could almost hear the gerbil wheel spinning in his brain as he looked down the Bills roster sheet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
