What do you think of the announcers in the NFL?

Can we please have anyone replace Cris Collinsworth...

Or anything.  A cardboard cutout of Tom Cruise.  An overripe tomato.  An old PC/XT keyboard missing the "L" key.  A swarm of bees.  Dennis Miller.

I'd take Collinsworth inane babble over Whoopi or Joyless Beyhar's sanctimonious screeching

Conversely, I’d like to watch a broadcast pairing Collinsworth with a swarm of bees.

Please, not Brees!  His demonstrations of QB throwing arm mechanics totally distracted from the game between Bills and Saints.  I look for announcers to concentrate on the game at hand.

 

And while we're at it....the crowd noise in many college and pro football games tends to drown out the announcers for long periods of time.  Anyone else notice that?  The folks producing the game should either turn the crowd noise mic's down, put the announcers in enclosed booths, or find some other technnical fix for the issue.  Maybe listen to the feed to the public to id the problem?

I agree. Instead of a guy demonstrating proper mechanics between plays, we need more shots of the sidelines and huddles.

 

Maybe some more closeups of players' faces, to show how serious they are between plays.

They went on for 10 minutes about the mechanics then he did a demonstration that did nothing for the fan that wanted to see the defensive line-up they had. Instead we came back to the field of play with 2 seconds before the snap.

If that bothered you don't ever watch Manningcast (same for @Keukasmallie)

Two points

 

First, try watching the game on mute.  Much less cluttered without the announcers

 

Second, the crowd noise you hear isn't the noise around the booth.  It's sounds of the game that have been filtered by the crew.  The NFL is kinda like the old sci-fi TV show The Outer Limits in that they control all that you see and hear.

Yeah, I dunno if I would do the Manningcast for the Bills game.

[Ann]

I mentioned in another thread yesterday that there will be a Manningcast during the Bills - Patriots game on Monday, just in case anyone wants to watch or tape it.

Back Monday on ESPN2 - at EXACTLY 8:13pm ET.
