Reading the thread title this was my thought before I even opened it. The guy is terrible as an analyst. 1
LabattBlue Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 Even though he nailed Tessitore as a “try to hard” guy, summing his performance up in two sentences was kind. He is as bad as Booger, and they both should be shitcanned the day after their last broadcast this season. 2
Aireskoi Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 They should get this game back on ABC and get new announcers. I haven't watched MNF in years, I just listen to one of the teams radio broadcast online. 2 2
May Day 10 Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 (edited) I havent said anything because, honestly, im torn on booger. I think he is awful and makes me cringe On the other hand, he seems truly excited to be watching the game, and it comes across on my tv. He is unique. I can watch 10 games and not tell you anything about the color guy... but booger puts his stamp on the game and is not a robot. It was obnoxious and puzzling when he pleaded with "america" twice to not put tight ends 1 on 1 with elite pass rushers... but looking back, it is also funny and memorable Edited November 27, 2019 by May Day 10 3
US Egg Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 He's made Collingsworth seem bearable again. 2
GunnerBill Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 I think the play by play guy is worse than Booger and I agree with the Guardian article - MNF hasn't been the same quality of broadcast since Mike Tirico left. Gruden worked well with whereas he dominated the replacement and this pair is a mess. Although I actually think slightly less than when Witten was in the booth and Booger was sitting in that stupid high chair. At lease Booger is funny (though not always intentionally) Jason Witten was absurdly bad. Dull, uninteresting and often wrong.

Booger makes Chris Collinsworth seem almost listenable. 17 minutes ago, I am the egg man said: He's made Collingsworth seem bearable again. You beat me to it
thronethinker Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 Tessitore was awful Monday night. Every time Lamar Jackson touched the ball Tessitore was screaming like a drunken woman at a wedding. The crew should be unbiased and give you facts and insight, not emotional theatrics. 5 1

row_33 Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 it was always overrated, we only had 3 channels and 3 newspapers of record and they dictated whatever narrative they chose
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 This is a pretty hilarious and spot-on article. Loved this: He sounds like he’s started a sentence and has no idea where it’s going to end. On Monday, McFarland officially entered the Biden Zone. At this point, you don’t really care what he says, you’re just hoping he can stumble his way to a coherent conclusion. 1 1

I have not watched more than 20 minutes of MNF is a very long time. when you flood it with the same old **** it gets boring. 1 good game in 10 will do that 1 minute ago, row_33 said: it was always overrated, we only had 3 channels and 3 newspapers of record and they dictated whatever narrative they chose Man You ARE old !!!!!!!

CuseBill Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 I used to enjoy listening to Booger when he was on Sirius in the morning with Ross Tucker. He was funny and always had some good insights into the game. But he does not really fit into the format of a three hour game where there are just two guys having to fill in time talking about just that game. He gets repetitive and states the obvious way too much. They really need to make a change (again) to make MNF relevant and watchable. 1
stuvian Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 Booger is easy to like and hard to listen to 1 1
