That's it. I can't listen to football announcers anymore. They're boring, bland, stupid, and are just phoning it in. Al Michaels is the only one I like these days. 

Just now, on Monday Night Football, Sean McDonough with his ugly AF bald eel shaped head said "19 seconds left in the half" when it was just the 1st quarter. Okayyyyyyyyyy baldy, time for you to retire. WTF has happened to competence? Ermm

Most the competent people are radio announcers.  If you can find a radio simul-cast of the game, listen to that and mute the TV guys...

I have to agree with you. I have HATED Joe Buck forever. He and Aikman can absolutely ruin a game for me. Angry

However, partly due to all the ridiculous kneeling during the Anthem and the black lives matter supporters, I am DONE with football. Haven't watched a game this year and don't really miss it.

The NFL is one of the most corrupt and greedy corporations around. And all for a silly little game where a bunch of men chase a pigskin.

TBH, I think I'm just getting older and realize there's more to life than wasting time watching the overpaid idiots of the NFL run around. Not knocking any of you who like to watch, it just doesn't interest me anymore.

It could be worse. These men could be beating the crap out of each other for a Ding dong on ice!

Well said.
If there could possibly be two of me, you might be able to get in that short line. What an idiotic sport - and I KNOW I am correct in saying this as most of the dain-bramaged players never got the message that the only REAL sport - the 'sport of the gods' - is played during the spring and summer.
And we all know Harry Carey is dead.

I got to watching football today. And listening to the announcers. And thinking. I know that’s dangerous but I can’t help myself. Anyhow I got to thinking what a play caller would sound like in ancient Rome,  at the games there. He would of course stand off to the side of the emperor and scream at the top of his (or her) lungs.

 

“”“OH!!! AND ON THE FAR SIDE A GLADIATOR HAS JUST STABBED A PEACEKEEPER!  BUT THAT’S NOT AGAINST THE RULES BECAUSE WE HAVE NONE!   

THE CHRISTIANS LOOK ESPECIALLY NERVOUS TODAY. I GUESS THAT’S BECAUSE THE LIONS HAVEN’T BEEN FEED IN TWO WEEKS.

AND HERE COMES BRUTIS! HE WILL GET OFF HIS CHARIOT VERY SOON AND GET DRESSED FOR BATTLE.  THE CROWD IS ON IT’S FEET!

AND THE CROWD CHEERS!  SOMEONE HAS JUST PUSHED A FRESH FRUIT SELLER OFF THE STANDS ON THE NEAR SIDE! AFTER STABBING HIM PROPERLY OF COURSE.  I GUESS HIS CUSTOMER SERVICE WASN’T WHAT IT SHOULD BE.  

THOSE NET GUYS ARE SHARPING THEIR PITCH FOLKS AND HAVE THEIR NETS AT THE READY. IT SHOULD BE A GOOD DAY FOR MAYHEM.

OH !!!!!  A LION HAS BROKEN LOOSE AND IS MAULING A STRAY COMBATANT.  THAT MAKES “WHAT’S FOR DINNER” TAKE ON A WHOLE NEW MEANING!

AND THE CROWD ROARS AS THE  EMPEROR GIVES A FAST THUMBS DOWN TO THE LATEST FIGHT. I THINK THEY WANTED THE ETHIOPIAN SPARED. OH WELL.

 THE FIRST-AID FOLKS HAVE ALL BUT GIVEN UP BUT THE MORTICIANS ARE STANDING BY AND AT THE READY. GO “M’S” !

AND BE SURE TO COME BACK NEXT WEEK!! WE WILL FLOOD THE ARENA AND SIMULATE NAVAL BATTLES! THE CHARIOT RACES SHOULD BE INTERESTING.  THERE SHOULD BE MUSH DEATH AND DESTRUCTION!

THIS SHOUTING BROUGHT TO YOU BY CROSSES-R-US. FOR ALL YOUR CRUCIFIXION NEEDS."""


I could go on but I think you get the point.
