Did Madden have great dialect ? Regardless of one’s personal take on Madden, he was very popular. Manning gets a very high “ Q score” or whatever , so he has the broad appeal that networks covet. It doesn’t matter if he’s as analytical as Romo, it’s simply that people like him. That’s gold for TV. Expand yeah booger is likable... I’m not sure I agree

eball Posted March 6, 2020 Posted March 6, 2020 Just get that idiot Tessatore off the air. I will NOT watch another NFL game with this over-excited, everything-is-a-huge-moment moron doing the play by play. If the Bills are playing and he's the announcer I'll mute the TV. 1

dpberr Posted March 6, 2020 Posted March 6, 2020 (edited) The problem I see with Manning is that he wants everyone to like him and that's part of his lucrative image. He won't say anything remotely candid on air. You will not get Tony Romo. Why bother trade for Al Michaels? Just burn it to the ground and find new, fresh talent. Edited March 6, 2020 by dpberr 1

TheFunPolice Posted March 6, 2020 Posted March 6, 2020 I'm interested to see how Manning does, if it happens. Football broadcasts BADLY need an influx of new talent. ESPN's MNF product has been garbage for a couple years now. It's embarrassing.
