If "drunken fan banter" is the bar for great announcing, I find it hard to believe that there aren't posters here that could do a better job than the clowns on last night's broadcast. It is worth the time to look up the broadcast if you haven't seen it yet. Do it after you put the women and children to bed... Truly, I have heard better quality broadcasts from small D-III NCAA schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you did not take what i said seriously...but you gotta admit you would be just like Brandt if ya got to call a Bills game no? I would love it! 5 years ago I used to hate to listen to Edwards call a game..now when the Bruins/Sabres play i intentionally watch/record the NESN feed. Don't want a national team to do that style..but I find it kinda fun to listen to!!

Often times done by marginal students in the schools' sports journalism programs. I think we're on the same page with regards to that. I haven't heard Bears Fanboy's call of the game, but I'll see if I can chase it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that next pass was almost intercepted..gotta give him that! ? And god dang, how many pick 6 the Bills be throwing on that route this year?

Wo-Bah Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I didn't get the Bears feed and mostly I had my TV on mute. Thank you to everyone who posted some of the content from last night. It made my morning reading through them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpmfla Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 That was like nails on a chalk board. I turned the sound off and listened to the Bills radio broadcast. It was slightly off timing wise but still a huge improvement over "Da Bears" crew! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that Peter guy makes it unwatchable and Brandt is just a slightly lesser tool. Your standard for "hot" is very pedestrian. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. K Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Was there are game happening anytime during their kaffeeklatsch? Was there another team on the field besides the Bears? You would not have known it while they were asking each other, "Who on the Bears would you say has the most colorful underwear?" "Who was the greatest Bear ever at spelling?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 3 hours ago, eball said: Anyone else watch this game on Game Pass and get the Bears' feed? Apparently they gave the Good Morning Football host Kyle Brandt (a Chicago native) an opportunity to do the play-by-play and this was some of the most over the top, hyped commentary I've ever seen in a preseason game. I was either laughing or shaking my head throughout the broadcast -- just wondered if anyone else had the same reaction. Obviously he's a successful dude but he came across like a tool. OMG!!! Can’t believe they didn’t have Al Michaels and Chris Collinsworth for that historic game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two posts about same thing. It's so bad, however that it's worth reading twice. well they finally got it down at the end when Bills scored the winning TD bears down.

It's grating when colour is too 'chatty', it can only be worse if 'play by play' decides to yak it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was comical at first, but it didn't take too long to become nauseating. Some tidbits I learned in the 1st half from the Bears' broadcast: - Zay Jones "can fly" Personally I dont think that that description of a guy who ran a 4.45 40 time is over the top.

sullim4 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 https://www.chicagobears.com/news/final-game-is-not-your-grandfather-s-bears-broadcast "My plan is to make it a three-hour Bears broadcast, with Bears and Bills as the backdrop," Brandt said. "I'm talking any topic you can imagine with the 2018 Bears. Let's talk about Bears teams of the past, of the future, it's going to be a Bears radio show for three hours, and there's going to be a game going on.

Actually my latest broadcast position has given me the opportunity to do some play-by-play, something I'd never done before. So far I've done hockey the most, some football and one girls basketball game. It's a blast but hard to do well. Hockey especially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
