Why must you, Mr. NFL Color Commentator, begin every goddamn reply to a point made by Mr. Play by Play with the phrase "No question..."

 

ARRGH! I was ready to jump through my TV and punch JC Pearson in the face when I was watching the Packer-Vikings game yesterday. And I'm not a violent person.

Sorry, had to get that off my chest. I feel better though! Now back to your regularly scheduled HCBF.

Most of them drive me nuts, too. By opening their mouths too much most of them show that they really don't know much about the teams they are covering. Then they also can jinx people. Take Brian Baldinger yesterday right before the end of the first half and the Bears driving for a touchdown. He mentions that Brian Griese has always been a good decision maker. Right away I knew that was trouble. Sure enough, the very next play he threw an interception.:mad:

IMHO, the worst is John Madden. I would have mentioned Tony Kornholer, but he's not a color analyst. Actually, he's not much of anything.

 

And we have to deal with Madden this coming Sunday night when the Packers trounce the Bears. :mad:

 

:D

Also, why do they have to dedicate 20% of all their commentary this season to reminding everyone what the {censored}ing green dot is for and who has it? Nobody {censored}ing cares. :mad:

:D

This is the week Green Bay will be eliminated from the league of the undefeated. I predict another blocked field goal.:p

 

Ugh! Madden. I think I'm going to have to get a decent am antenna for the home stereo system, so that I can turn off the TV audio and listen to the Bears' boradcast.

+1. First women and now colored commentators.

 

It doesn't matter what color the commentators are, can't they all just STFU from time to time? :blah::blah::D

 

I sometimes emjoy the game more to mute the TV and listen to music and just watch the game...

You really don't think I believe in jinxes, do you? I just find it interesting after they say "so and so has a streak of 14 straight field goals" that the kicker usually misses it.
:D

 

I cannot believe how often this happens in games I watch. It's like the fix is in or something and the commentator's dialogue is the cue for stuff to start happening.

Thank god Joe Theisman is nowhere to be heard. If I had to hear him say, "that was a rookie mistake" one more time, I mean these guys have been playing since Pop Warner was a coach for Jesus! We have to listen to Warren Moon repeat everything his co-anouncer says. Not too articulately either, I might add. Great QB, though.

Now you see, the object of the game is to score points, and to score points you gotta get the ball into the endzone... and that's how you win ballgames.

 

Who am I? :D

Tony Kornheiser needs to go back to writing columns and shut the {censored} up already. At least with John Madden you know that no matter how much stupid {censored} he says, at least he knows what the {censored} he's talking about.

I really want the option to watch football games on TV with JUST the play by play guy.

But there would be stone silence when he has to use the can.

None of the color commentators around today, and I mean none of them can hold a handle to Howard Cosell when it comes to the most annoying, irritating and infuriating commentary guys in the history of football. The day he was fired an entire generation of Monday Night Football fans cheered because we could at last watch the game with the sound on. I swear to God if I heard him say..."but they failed to capitalize on the debacle" one more time I would have come through the TV and killed him.

That would be even better :thu:

 

Actually what we really need is a channel where you can toggle between Play by Play or uncensored helmet mics on certain players.

That would be the big fat idiot, John Madden talking. :D
