pennstate10 Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 (edited) Wow. This play by play guy is the worst I've ever heard. Doesnt know the down. Doesnt know yardage. y guy is the worst I've ever heard. And thats saying a lot.Doesnt know the players. Too stupid to realize Jarvis Landry's "blocking" earned them two OPI penalties. And complete Browns homer. But hey, he knew 84 was Jack Nicklaus grandson, so bonus points there. Edited to clarify--this was the NFL Network feed. Guys name was Crawford, I think. Pretty sure its the Browns team crew. Edited August 18, 2018 by pennstate10 1
SDubills Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 Dont think anyone is worried about announcing in preseason. It was tasker btw
Ennjay Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 NFL Network carried the Browns' feed. Play-by-play was Somebody Crawford and color was Tim Couch. They were both terrible. Another example: before the commercial, "you don't see OPI three times in a season." After the commercial: "they'll call that [OPI] every time."
Bangarang Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 You don’t know bad commentary until you’ve listened to Steve Tasker call a game. 2

Ol Dirty B Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 Bills commentary wasn't much better. Tasker is just a disaster. I don't know who his partner was, but I thought he was decent for the most part. Granted I didn't watch the whole game. 1

Max Fischer Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 Couldn’t believe that science teacher was Bernie Koser. Who dressed him? Bernie, get a nice shirt, put in collar stays and button your sleeve.

Formerly Allan in MD Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 They were terrible. Why did everyone have to constantly hear that every player on the Browns' roster is wonderful? I loved it when they said the play was made "by number 86." No roster in front of them and they strictly do visuals? Kosar would've been better in the box than on the sidelines.

He just stumbled over words, tons of awkward pauses. Consistently gets names and calls wrong. As the horse collar call against Allen was being replayed he said he clearly got a handful of Allen's facemask. Said Josh McDermott should throw the challenge flag. If it happened just once, I'd understand, but it has been through out every preseason game. I guess I maybe an oddity. It's not his analysis that bothers me, because I do think when he finally spits it out, it's ok. But the simple things just from a technical stand point annoy the hell out of me. He just sounds so amateur, so that these national guys everyone complains about seem amazing. Which in reality, they are actually decent at their job despite how much we complain. 7 minutes ago, Fadingpain said: Was not Steve Tasker. Jay Crawford did play by play and Tim Couch did color. Wow Jay Crawford. Is he the guy from that old ass ESPN Cold Pizza show?

BubbaT Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 On the Bills feed, 2 games in a row now they've been doing meaningless sideline interviews and not come back to tell you what happened. Last week was after a 5 yard penalty gave Carolina a first down rather than having to punt from inside the 10 (basically turned the whole game around) and tonight there is a guy running for what looks like a Browns td and I have no idea what happened. I presume the ball hit the ground on the pass to him but they never told you nor showed a replay. Drives me insane. (I mean I could have missed the interview with Jordan Mills and not felt deprived). 1

The interviews are boring and awful every year. At least they stay on top of their useless polls.

cle23 Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 Crawford and Couch are strictly preseason and this is their first year. Jim Donovan does regular season and is great.

I really get annoyed when they do these interviews during regular season and playoff games for all of the 4 major sports while the game action is going on.
