Do you think CBS will pull Romo and Nantz off Bills-Fins?

I'm happy with any announcer who brings color and personality to the broadcast.  Lofton (for example) sucks because he doesn't do that.  He's just another voice who sounds exactly like every other generic announcer out there.  

 

Romo is great.  I could do without the ball-washing, but he obviously understands what's happening on the field and can explain it to the audience in real time.  Not every color guy can do that.  He also has a little bit of a "Madden" vibe where you can tell that he's really enjoying his time in the booth and isn't just collecting a paycheck (Al Michaels).  

 

I know I'm in the minority here, but I especially like color commentators who are willing to be critical of players and coaches.  This is where I really appreciate Chris Collinsworth.  Sure, he's annoying when he does Bills games, but I like listening to his other broadcasts as a neutral.  My all-time favorite commentator was Dan Dierdorf, who managed to be both blistering and funny as hell simultaneously.  That sort of thing rubs people the wrong way, but that's fine -- you can watch Friends, but I'm watching Seinfeld.

Does anyone know when Bills - Cincy will be the following week?  Saturday or Sunday?  Too lazy to research. 

I don’t think anyone knows yet… my guess is they’ll make KC - (JAX or LAC) on Saturday and we would be the Sunday AFC game, should we make it that far of course.

I'm pulling them. I can deal with nance but the ball washing romo does is not my cup of tea. I'll do as I have the last few games he called. I'll use my audacity app and listen to the play by play from wgr 550 sports radio.


How has Chris Brown been with calling the game?  His calls of the two kickoff returns that WGR replayed this week are great. Wonder if that holds up over the course of a game. Thinking about tuning him in this week. 
 

It’s too bad NFL+ doesn’t allow replays of the radio broadcasts anymore. Would like to know if they are out there anywhere.

He's the best color guy in football and it's not even remotely close.

I have a feeling that Fitzmagic will be doing color before long, and will soon become the best color person on any network.  Guy just thinks at a different speed than most humans.

I thought he did quite well. I enjoy listening to wgr radio call the game.

He's way too over the top and constantly stumbling over his words. Good knowledge however, and I do appreciate his enthusiasm for the game

 

I think he has so much he wants to say that he gets mixed up, hence the stumbling.  I think he's super enthusiastic/loves the game.  I think he's a smart dude.  The Romo-Nantz duo is my favorite.

Unsure if it was mentioned. But this is the only CBS game. 
 

CBS doesn’t have any other games.

 

Since there isn’t another game to put Romo/Nantz on, they’re going to stay on this one.

 

No game is available for CBS to swap; this is their sole broadcast.

No. If the Bills advance, Ian Eagle will be on the call vs CIN. Nantz / Romo will get the Chiefs.

Is this their only game?  I know you said it three times, but…..
