dib Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Just curious. Why would the feed change at half time. First half I'm listening to Levy/Tasker, second half it's a couple of cheese heads on the all packer channel. Why? The world wonders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably so fans from each team get that 'home town' feel to the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ_BillsFan Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I like it because its funny seeing how the home announcers aren't that critical about their team and bash on the opponent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Tate Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I like hearing the other team's announcers because our announcers suck. 415207[/snapback] I think Tasker could be better if he would calm down just a little and announce the game in something a little closer to a conversational tone and stop RAISING his VOICE to EMPHASIZE points that DON'T really CALL for it. I don't MIND so much what he's SAYING, but LISTENING to him EXCLAIM the BILLS are in a SECOND and SIX at the TWENTY-ONE YARD LINE wears on me after a while. And as much respect as I have for Marv Levy, somebody please get him out of the booth. Please. It's just not for him. The Packers' announcers weren't bad at all.

Jim Plunkett and a couple of other guys. You never hear more than one announcer at a time because while one is talking, the others are blowing Al Davis. They switch back and forth, and it only becomes obvious because sometimes just before they cut to commercial they show the guys in the booth and one of them is always wiping his chin.

Dr. Fong Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 The one thing I hated was purposely avoiding the score of the game until I had a chance to see it and then having the damn score scroll at the bottom of the screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - wasn't that a bummer? Took the fun out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubes Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I have to admit, I didn't know who our announcers were when I turned the game on. I was horrified to realize that the color guy was Marv. Not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
