"the receivers are physical, they are playing Cleveland receivers head on and saying were here to hit and play football" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hollywood Donahoe Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 the Sunday night crew seems incapable of calling a game without selecting one player to obsess over every week. it's not enough to simply talk about what's happening on the field, they feel the need to pick out a single individual and create an entire story arc around him. It's ridiculous. Bruschi last week, Ward this week. Ray lewis, Michael Vick, Donovan McNabb, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Terrell Owens in past weeks. Whoever's the flavor of the month.

TONY GONZALEZ! 502250[/snapback] I'll take a dark horse here.....Dante Hall. I bet he runs back a kick in the first half and they slobber all over him the rest of the game.

EC-Bills Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Its houston... which means next week's candidate is......... TONY GONZALEZ! 502250[/snapback] I say it's Trent Green. They can talk about his emotional game against the Raiders (due to his father passing away). Then his letdown game against us, and finally his rebound game against Houston.

However, I don't think its teh same Dante that they slobbered all over 2 years ago. You can't slobber over him twice without people noticing.

MikeG Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 it's going to be Larry Johnson... they will bring up all the stuff about being called a baby and blah blah blah and how he stuck with it and worked hard and now he's THE man in KC. These guys make up their minds what they are going to say before the plays even happen... does anyone remember when the Browns where pinned at their own 1 foot line and McGuire started saying how big and strong the Steeler D-Line was... then the Brown run up the middle, granted, maybe gained 6 inches but to hear McGuire call it you'd have thought that they pushed the Browns out of the endzone. "Watch the black shirts, they go forward and all the white shirts go backwards" is what he said, but then they showed the sideline view and that is exactly NOT what happened, the white shirts moved about a foot forward and the browns gained about 6 inches. Why not just state what happened, the Steelers D didn't let them gain more than 6 inches, isn't that still REALLY good? This is what I mean, he had that in his head no matter what happened, he was going to talk about how great the Steeler line was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDBillzFan Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 What concerns me most is that the three idiots in the booth are clearly trying to attract the homosexual football fan. While I paraphrase, I kid you not that each one of them got a little gay last night. Paul McGuire talking about Hines Ward: "Let me tell you, he has the softest hands..." Theeeseman talking about Big Ben: "I was surprised at how big and how strong he is..." Mike Patrick on Troy Polamalu: "I just love to watch him run, his long hair flowing behind him..." This ain't your Daddy's game, anymore. It's your Cousin Seth's game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From his MMQB column today I can't bear the ESPN Sunday Night crew's nonstop glorification of every player and every team. Please, fellas, isn't ANYONE in the NFL just average Also, the morning guys on after Czaban were going of on them as well. I guess they just do not care seeing as how they are the only game in town, and they are done for after the year.

Campy Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 it was NOTHING like the Bruschi episode they did a few weeks ago. 502418[/snapback] Good call, they did set the bar pretty high with the Brewski-fest. I'm not sure they'll ever top that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
