2nd, and 42 behind Brady.  That's insane.

He was so vacuous and devoid of real insight yesterday, it's when it first occurred to me that maybe he's been muzzled.  I know he can do better, because he has.

 

By way of this...Diggs' TD.

Two years ago, you know Romo would have gotten a "Watch Diggs on the outside!" comment in before the snap.

With a lot of career ahead of him.

I wondered if he had a stroke. Something’s amiss there.

I originally liked him because he would, amazingly and accurately, tell you what play was coming before the snap.

No doubt they discouraged that.

 

He was bad yesterday, but still is infinitely better than Collingsworthless.

It hadn't occurred to me before, but you're right.  Why would they do that when it was the thing that made him so interesting to fans?

 

I like Romo but also noticed how much useless blathering he did when I rewatched the NE* game the other night.

The NFL likers to pretend the game is complicated and sophisticated to lure in the viewers.

can't have some ex-jock in the booth calling all the plays before they happen.

sort of the exposes that the black box isn't actually magic after all

I wish his response to whoever told him "Stop predicting the play on the telecast" would have been "Disguise your formations better, and I won't."

He did it on Smoke's TD but it wasn't as overt as in the past.

Probably wasn't a stroke then.

You lose Carrie Underwood and things go downhill from there.

cry me a river of tears for poor Al Michaels

 

I didn't realize that he had been kidnapped and forced under gunpoint to bail on the network and move to Amazon for a shitload more money to call the crappy Thursday package

 

 

https://www.outkick.com/al-michaels-amazon-nfl-thursday-tnf-package-selling-used-cars/

 

For months we’ve all opined how miserable poor Al Michaels must’ve been this year calling stinky Thursday Night Football games for Amazon Prime.

 

Michaels, who NBC thankfully rescued to call Saturday’s Chargers-Jags playoff game, said calling TNF games this past season was like trying to essentially sell a lemon.

 

Sadly, Al won’t be reunited with longtime partner Cris ‘Here’s a Guy’ Collinsworth, but at least he’ll finally get to see what a good football game looks like for the first time in a year.

so who will be the first coach to deck the sideline reporter for interfering with him trying to coach and win a game

 

coach - you going to bench your QB? 

We want to be the first to know

 

 

https://www.outkick.com/john-harbaugh-ravens-bengals-awkward-interview-melissa-stark/

 

During the 24-17 loss in the playoffs to Joe Burrow and company, the Ravens coach gave a sideline interview to Melissa Stark at the start of the second quarter, and he looked like he wanted to be anywhere else. When asked if the Ravens might make a switch at QB off Tyler Huntley, John Harbaugh looked visibly annoyed.

 

He just cracked what appeared to be a semi-sarcastic smile and said, “We’ll just say how the game goes, okay? Thanks.”

WTF was he still playing this year!?

Brady will join play-by-play announcer Kevin Burkhardt on FOX Sports' lead broadcast team.
10 years, $375 million

thought for sure he could get another ring

Apparently the few of us who commented on Romo's bad color commentary of late, was noticed by the network and others.

A lot of the suspected chatter was that someone got to him before this season to tell him to dial back his telling us what was happening before it actually happened. He was no longer calling out plays and explaining the calls this season. This “Specifically, Marchand said that CBS attempted an “intervention” with Romo during the 2022 offseason, but that things “did not get better.” Seems to confirm that supposition.

Listen To Jim Nantz and Tony Romo. They're literally telling us the NFL is rigged and scripted. What more evidence do people need? Listen closely especially 40 seconds into video

Apparently, there are t-shirts, coffee mugs, and hats with this sentiment (or STFU). Who knew!? 🤔
