That's been one of my peeves for years - sometimes I look forward to just tuning in before/after the game to hear about the games and it ends up being basically unwatchable. For a couple years the thing that was really in vogue on the highlight shows was to inexplicably have 3-4 guys just mindlessly mumbling and shouting over highlights all over each other while the were being narrated (esp NFL Network) - like throughout every highlight. It drove me crazy - luckily they seem to have toned that down a bit. On a related note - every time I turn on Sportscenter on the weekend I'm newly stunned as to the horror that has become. An interchangeable plastic male and female talking head with zero chemistry constantly reaching for jokes and yukfest that just isn't there. It's really cringe-worthy - like a bad SNL skit. I always think - can anyone really like this?

Regardless of who is playing - if the announcers are Beth Mowins and Rex Ryan - do you still enjoy the game (with the sound on)? I get your point - to a point. I'm not a person who normally ever focused on or cared much about who the announcers are - am more interested in the game itself - but the trash production that these networks are coming up with is getting ridiculous. I yearn - yearn - for the days when you could tune in a national game and hear those great familiar voices, who actually knew how to call a game. Michaels to me is one of last ones left. It's crazy they can't find better talent - and crazier still they can't find people who don't actually impact the broadcast negatively.

I just finished watching all 5 seasons of The Wire - are parts of the city still as depicted (20 yrs ago) in that show?

It's provided by the Patriots****

Love it when Aikman tries to do his version of Romo "There's DK Metcalf at the bottom"

Friggin Carroll - would have been nice if you gave the rock to Marshawn at the goal line in the SB

A tradition unlike any other

KC should have waited until they were down by 33 points to get the record

Watson The Magician!

I was thinking with all the crap that goes on during a game, the NFL cares about someone dropping a ball in front of someone

Ha for some reason they don't seem as interested in him now

OR - the Bills would have had exactly the same half as Houston - giving hope then ripping our hearts out in the worst way possible

This will be such a delicious way for Houston to lose

If Houston fans didn't think of him as Lonnie "friggin" Johnson before, they do now

Is Crossman coaching both team's Special Teams today?

Awerrible

This game just jumped on a car hood

OMFG

Wow Bill OB

Hunt has better looking people in his box than Kraft

Booger Mowins is one I think

Ha what will talking heads say if Houston blows a 24-0 lead

Does anyone else think Lonnie "friggin" Johnson every time they say his name

Yes - part of what we are seeing is the great QB equalizer when WRs aren't playing well

Watson hero ball lateral
