Ann Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 There wasn't an existing thread to put this next post in, so I figured why not start a discussion! Whatchya think about the NFL announcers?

Ann Posted August 24, 2021 Author Share Posted August 24, 2021 I'll start... Beth Mowins hurts my ears. Tony Romo is worth his weight in gold. He's truly the gold standard as I learn something new from him every time he is doing a game. Explaining what I am about to see, as well as what I have seen, is what sets him apart. That, and he's easy on the eyes. 😘 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasons1992 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 The first six teams are great, I love them all. And whatever gets Amanda Balionis on camera, I'm OK with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta say I REALLY like Ross Tucker. He does color for the Eagles broadcast during preseason and the dude belongs in a bigger audience. He's just terrific. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest I could do with out. I know we can't go back but I long for the days when the AFC was on NBC. Even the lesser regional teams were better than what we have today.

KD in CA Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 49 minutes ago, Joe said: Greg Gumble's taken quite the demotion over the years He's a better studio guy. I always thought his play-by-play was lazy; he's always two seconds behind. Nantz/Romo are easily the best team these days. Al Michaels is still great, but Collinsworth is awful. Always liked Ian Eagle from way back at his WFAN days. Never been a big Kevin Harlan fan I don't mind Buck/Aikman unless they are soap-boxing (which is the same for anyone) Also, Sean McDonough is terrific. I have no idea why he doesn't have a prime NFL job. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The comments are HILARIOUS. And sad also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Whatever happened to Howard Cosell, Dandy Don Meredith, and Frank Gifford - not to mention Jimmy-the-Greek Snyder, and a host of others. My, how times have changed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
