Don't care for Al that much anymore so that doesn't bother me. But Tirico is terrible.  Unlike many on this board, I like Collinsworth.  

I've never had an issue with Collinsworth, I think he tells it like it is.

 

Yeah he gushes over Tom Brady, name me one announcer who doesn't.

Buffalo too long of a flight for Al Michaels?

 

Al just announced that Mike Tirico will be calling Steelers-Bills, which is annoying. It was previously announced that Michaels would be skipping some games this year, but I hoped it wouldn't be ours. I kind of figured it might be though.

 

The last game Al called in Buffalo must have been 56-10.

 

Could be wrong, but I don't think we've ever won a Tirico-called game. Dallas MNF comes to mind.

A lot of announcers of national games take off Buffalo trip games. It is what it is. I remember 1 year the entire espn MNF crew took off instead of coming to Buffalo.

Does it really matter who is announcing this game. No matter who it is we will hear the Steelers are great, Ben is a legend, Tomlin is the best coach in football not named Bill, will Pitt go undefeated, can Pitt knock off KC in the AFC championship, can Pitt win a Super Bowl, blah blah Pitt blah blah more Pitt.

Am I the only fan of Tirico? Geez lol

 

You're not alone, I prefer him over Michaels. Michaels spends 3 hours looking for a penalty flag after every play and wondering whether the play should be reviewed.

So its Mike Tricio and Collinsworth, I'd rather go to the dentist and have a root canal then listen to these two jabronis. I will definitely need to watch this game with the sound off, I can't stand either of these guys.

 

Love it!!!  And i agree - will be listening to tunes rather than those two clowns...errr Jabronis!

i love collinsworth. very polarizing guy. i have this conversation with friends any time he is on. I also like Michaels, but Tirico has a very good rep himself. i have not seen him call many games, personally. 

 

IMO  Collinsworth is a clown.  Maybe he's changed but wasn't very nice to the Bills over the years.

Agreed - I think Tirico is a clear upgrade over Michaels. I'm happy with the switch.

Tirico is terrific.  Not disappointed at all.  As a matter of fact, he usually speaks well of Buffalo in general.  I remember the MNF game against Dallas, when he just said.......we're gonna just let you listen to this crowd......and just let the Shout song play and they panned the crowd the entire time.  Good stuff.

This is the one thing that is disappointing. The Bills are finally on the big stage and fans aren't allowed to be there which is the correct move. If this were a normal year the atmosphere at Bills stadium would be insane especially for this one.
