BuffaloBilliever Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Saying peoples names wrong, "Paul Poshtooshy" or whatever butchering of the name it was, long pauses, stuttering, a lot of "maybe..." and "about..." sentences, and when the punt was just downed, it was clearly around the 17 or 16 yard line and the commentator says "it's down at about the 22, 23... er the 18, 19 yard line." Somebody needs to put these guys out of their misery... Plus... No Moorman tonight? D.J. Fitzpatrick was in to punt, and Justin Jenkins started.

Yeah, sure seems like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonInBuffalo Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Evans and Reed started. When they put in a 3rd WR, most of the time Reed moved into the slot and Jenkins lined up wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody needs to put these guys out of their misery... It's embarrassing. I've seen better PbP guys covering HS football games. Guys who seem to do more pre-game research and do a much better job at describing the plays and reading the field. Just five seconds ago - "Lindell in to try a 26, err, 36-yard FG..." WTF? How can you be off 10 yards with the call WHEN YOU HAVE A SPOTTER IN THE BOOTH WITH YOU?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonInBuffalo Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Apparently the regular announcing crew is Collingsworth, Faulk, and Sanders. Collingsworth is covering the Olympics for NBC. I'm not sure who is subbing for him. I saw the three announcers before the game started. Recognized him along with Faulk and Sanders, but don't recall who he is. My initial thought when I saw them was "this must be the studio coverage, there's no way they would have these clowns calling a game." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bmwolf21 Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I'm probably in the minority, but I think Deion has actually sounded decent and has been the best of the three. Course that's not saying much, and I'm used to his unintelligble garbage from the pregame shows, but still... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lori Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I knew it was going to be bad as soon as I saw who was doing the game. But THIS bad ??!?!? :cringing: However, I will give Deion credit for busting Faulk's chops. "Did you just say 'we'? What's this 'we'? Didn't we just watch them retire your jersey in St. Louis last year," or words to that effect ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Faulk and Deion are just terrible analysts. And I will never understand why networks put analysts like Sharpe as play by play guys. They almost always suck at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bmwolf21 Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Say it with me Marshall, LAHS-MAN....earn your fcking paycheck! OK seriously, now - is it ignorance, stupidity, laziness, what? How the can you be a game announcer for the NFL and not spend 5 minutes looking at the roster and the pronunciation guide? Frigging ridiculous that you can't pronounce the names of guys who have been in the league for a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
