Dragonborn10 Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 My god these guys are so bad. If Simms followed his own advice the QB would either throw it away or take a sack on every pass attempt. Nantz tries to make every three yard gain seem as important as a birdie putt on the 72nd hole of the Masters.
26CornerBlitz Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 @AP_NFL First half highlight from #PITvsCIN? You all say the silencing of Jim Nantz and Phil Simms: http://apne.ws/22T3oxb
Augie Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Somehow, my brain has been trained to ignore these guys most of the time. To me they are like baseball on in the background, I hear it, but I don't listen. And that's pretty much EVERY crew. Who's are the good ones?
boyst Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 if only a bus could collide with these two and gruden and that that one guy on espn2 who has the funny hair and the loud mouth who talks loud and does the beef jerky commercials. if all them would go off a cliff o'doyle style, i'd be happy.
Beerball Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Dreadful game by both. I swear Nantz orgasmed when he thought Ben was coming back in the game. If you can bear it rewind to the point where he's going to the sideline reporter.
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Seems like all these announcers start out good, then go downhill over time. Makes me wonder are the announcers really going downhill or is simply the fact that viewers get tired of listening to them.
r00tabaga Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Nantz is great at golf at not so much football. Simms....meh
Prickly Pete Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 They beat up on Burfict and Jones, but Shazier's hit was "legal" but just as vicious. And Shazier acts like an ass.
bisonbrigade Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Phil Sims makes me want to puke. He has a man crush on Tom Brady, and picks his favorites, aka Steelers. His favorites never due anything wrong, Cannot stand him.
Manther Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 My god these guys are so bad. If Simms followed his own advice the QB would either throw it away or take a sack on every pass attempt. Nantz tries to make every three yard gain seem as important as a birdie putt on the 72nd hole of the Masters. I hate Simms. For Nantz, I personally give him a pass on everything for his annual Master's performances. Seriously, I am not just saying that. I have heard him do okay, average or other performances and I think about it and say "its fine based on Nantz's awesome Master's showings". He could never disappoint me!! Once again, Simms blows!! Somehow, my brain has been trained to ignore these guys most of the time. To me they are like baseball on in the background, I hear it, but I don't listen. And that's pretty much EVERY crew. Who's are the good ones? I like Collingsworth. I can deal with Gruden in short doses, but, mostly because Gruden teaches me things I don't know or understand.
sullim4 Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Nantz has lost a step. I don't know if it's us getting stuck with Dedes and Wilcots all season and just not watching Nantz or what, but dear lord, he sounds like he's a senior citizen that can barely keep track of the game anymore. Put Nantz out to pasture on The Masters, pair Ian Eagle with the #1 color guy, and just get rid of Simms. Peyton's probably looking for a job after this season...
Blaise321 Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 I don't mind Nantz, but Sims needs to be put out to pasture. He's "Captain Obvious" with his color commentary. Even Spiro and Soloman would have called a better game.
purple haze Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 I don't know why they are the number one team. They are boring, wrong a lot of times and too sanctimonious for my taste.
NoSaint Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 Seems like all these announcers start out good, then go downhill over time. Makes me wonder are the announcers really going downhill or is simply the fact that viewers get tired of listening to them. They have to talk a lot. 25 games a year, at 3 hour clips is hard to keep original, insightful, and interesting to the wide range in the audience.
Uffalo Ills Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 (edited) I like Collingsworth. I can deal with Gruden in short doses, but, mostly because Gruden teaches me things I don't know or understand. I like Collinsworth and Al Michaels a lot. They are the best crew by far. Gruden and Tirico are a distant second, but at least they don't make me want to drink bleach. Edited January 10, 2016 by Uffalo Ills
Dragonborn10 Posted January 10, 2016 Author Posted January 10, 2016 I love Gruden. I respect Collinsworth. Aikman and Johnston are good color guys. Count me in the minority that can't stand Al Michaels. Tirico and Nantz just bug the hell out of me now. I'm not sure I like any play-by-play guys - Maybe Kenny Albert with Johnston.
MyDogLuvsPB Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 I don't mind Nantz, but Sims needs to be put out to pasture. He's "Captain Obvious" with his color commentary. Even Spiro and Soloman would have called a better game. People here hate Wilcox! I like his color commentary. Collinsworth and Esiason are very good at what they do. Wow three ex-Bengals.
Meark Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 I like Collinsworth and Al Michaels a lot. They are the best crew by far. Grudges and Tirico are a distant second, but at least they don't make me want to drink bleach. Absolute loathe Collinsworth and Al Michaels. Collinsworth whiney and Michaels slurs.. Horrible.
GunnerBill Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 I like Collinsworth and Al Michaels a lot. They are the best crew by far. Gruden and Tirico are a distant second, but at least they don't make me want to drink bleach. The NBC crew are definitely the best. Chris Collinsworth is the best in the business and maybe the best since Madden. Gruden makes some good points but with a smarm that makes me want to smash his face in over and over again.
