Webster Guy Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 The announcing team in general was not great, missing penalties and action on the field. I don't mind "the Beels" but have some trouble with Trent "Et-wurts"
Simon Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 You haven't seen much NFL then. It's Holt's bread and butter and has been since he was drafted by the Rams. It's also called the square in/out. If you're going to make rude, smarmy comments about how much football somebody has watched, you should at least know what you're talking about. Because you're wrong and you don't know.
dib Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 Frankly, I think he's pretty damned eloquent for a former NFL player. How sad is that.
cåblelady Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 I've changed my view of Solomon. I used to get hung up on his pronunciation of certain words, but if you examine the content, he's actually pretty darn good at analyzing and explaining the game. It's his pronunciation of our beloved "Bills" thats drives me nuts. Somehow he manages to make it a 2 syllable word without any L's. Bee-oohs. Ugghhhh! Agree with others here...it could be worse. Be careful what you wish for. Yep. Yep. And yep.
Chandler#81 Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 Not sure why I opened this thread as I knew there'd be one when it was announced that SW would be doing the game. But I'm glad I did as I agree with everyone BUT the OP that he's a fine 'Color Man'. Maybe there finally won't be another thread like this..
East Brady Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 He provides more genuine insight than any other commentator on any other network that carries the NFL.Bar none. Just because he doesn't sound like you doesn't mean he can't speak. Frankly, I think he's pretty damned eloquent for a former NFL player. Plus, He likes Cookin With GAAASSSS!!
extrahammer Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 Solomon isn't worse than Chris Collinsworth. Collinsworth is the announcer on Madden 09 worst of all. The one thing Solomon did yesterday that got on my nerves was rode the Rams bandwagon and didn't give the Bills ANY credit whatsoever until we were up 2 touchdowns. At that point he switched bandwagons and started gaga'ing over Buffalo. He was calling it an upset in the 2nd quarter!! I wouldn't have minded if we were 0-3, but we're 3-0, and from the opening kickoff til the start of the 4th quarter he was having a love affair with the Rams.
dib Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 from the opening kickoff til the start of the 4th quarter he was having a love affair with the Rams. I thought he would have prefered sheep.
Peter Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 I think that SW is pretty good. He has pretty good insights and has been fair to the Bills over the years.
