Fox Announcers and the Refs

[Bootlegged]

What a perfect combination of crap. If the play by play guy wasn't choking on Tebow's sperm, he was getting the down wrong. And the refs...just wow.

I saw that and my brother called me and pointed it out too.

In many cases, that audio feed is used for Spanish-language programming when it's available. However, for a lot of live sports, the feed just has crowd noise with no commentators at all. It's a whole new way to watch games.

In my particular case, the Comcast cable box had a language setting in there that let me change to the Spanish channel. Glorious.

Seems like I may have something to play with this weekend.

I agree it was bad, but I watched a rerun of the Texas v USC Rose Bowl a couple days ago, and Keith Jackson was absolutely terrible. The guys yesterday were geniuses compared to Jackson. Next time that game is on ESPN classics or w/e i encourage you to watch it and pay attention to the commentary.

We're not the only ones pointing out how absured the Tebow-lovefest was.

Did you hear the Good News? Tim Tebow won his second National Championship using grit, determination, four kinds of leadership and a form of mind control that he learned while uniting the Philippines.

According to Fox announcer Thom Brennaman—and if you don't agree with him, you must be some kind of deranged lunatic—Tim Tebow just may be the finest human being to ever live on this planet or any other. If fact, Thom Brennaman himself felt like little more than a puny insignificant speck in the fearful presence of Tim Tebow's greatness. Of course, Tim Tebow is made of such generous spirit and delicious candy that he cured Brennaman of his fear (and his adult acne), making him feel completely at ease and joyful simply by performing a Gator chomp with Tebow-esque hands.

Yes, it was Tim Tebow who healed fellow teammate Percy Harvin's ankle and then willed him to 122 yards rushing on nine carries. It was Tim Tebow's idea to deny Sooner running Chris Brown at the goal line on fourth down. I'm pretty sure he used some sort of levitation magic to keep Sam Bradford's pass bouncing in the air long enough for Major Wright to intercept it. It was his hand that reached down from the heavens to block a 49-yard field goal attempt late in the third quarter. And, despite letting Oklahoma stay in game out of compassion and sportsmanship, it was Tim Tebow who leapt over an Oklahoma wide receiver to snatch away an fourth-quarter interception and turn the game in the Gators favor. (Wait, that was Ahmad Black. Funny that the game story didn't mention that, but I'm sure it was the revelation of Tim Tebow perfect bone structure that encouraged Black to do it.)

Yes, Tim Tebow threw two interceptions of his own, but that was just pure unadulterated leadership. I, for one, feel like a better person for simply having watched that football game last night. He makes me want to be a better football fan.

The refs weren't the reason OU lost, but they sure did have a tough night.

Of course I figured it was going to be an ugly game for the Sooners when the safety lit up the WR on the first drive of the game, and guys on the sideline were allowed to dance above the guy and that the defender should have been flagged for PI since he hit the WR then the ball went off the back of his helmet.

Of course Oklohoma had their chances to win the game and still fell flat on their face.

The whole Superman thing over and over was rediculous, especially with the stupid decisions he made under pressure. The guy could have easily had 4 INTs that game. Announcers bought what they were hearing from the Florida team, and figured they spent all their time preparing for that outcome.

Oklahoma choked away lots of momentum but damn those were some horrible non-calls against Florida.. I would be making sure certain refs did not keep their job.. The first PI that was not called where the OU WR got manhandled before the ball and caught it.. There was a review, showing in slow-mo him being raped.. What was the review for?? To see if he caught it..
