I saw him do a half dozen or so games this year and this was the most partial I've ever heard him.

He was almost Romo or Colinsworth-level biased.

Fox made it very clear they are the NFC station from top to bottom. Olsen was practically begging Butker to fall down on his fg and is a big reason all this conspiratoral shit is going on because he went over the top on the idea that Bradberry shouldn't have been called...so much so Mike Perreira had to come in to reign the discussion in.

Can't make everybody happy I guess. I didn't feel like the announcers were biased at all. (I also didn't watch the pregame) I agree with the op that I loved his excitement with "he's gotta get down"... he was caught up in the moment like us.

Personally, I had no issue with the Damien Williams call because it allowed the moment to speak for itself. After jet chip wasp it felt inevitable that the team would win and the final nail in the coffin was satisfying. His lack of emotion mirrored the shock of the 49ers. We had sucked the air out of their players and fans as they thought they had it won after the int. But that's just me.

This is EXACTLY the kind of thing Romo does and he's universally hated for it.

Olson was fine until he performed an on-air abortion at the end of the game.

**** him.

Danguardace 02-14-2023 01:51 PM

Have we ever lost with Burkhardt? I associate him with some very good Chiefs wins lately Saints at home, Eagles at home @Lions etc

I really rate him as a play by play guy

The smartest thing I did during this game was not watch ANY pregame and I turned in 15 minutes before kickoff. It was so much better and I didn't get burnt out with all the pregame hye and bullshit.

Mecca 02-14-2023 01:55 PM

I mean in reality those guys probably hate the Chiefs they're paid to cover the NFC and the Chiefs are something stupid like 21-3 against the NFC over the last few years.

The thing I hold against Olsen:

The DB tugged on the jersey. Pereira specifically said that on the broadcast and the DB specifically said that post game interview.

'I tugged on the jersey' not I held or grabbed his waist...

The hold around the waist he probably gets away with. Pulling the jersey back is one on of those bright line rules. Okay, is it called 100%, maybe not but Olsen should have mentioned that it put it in a different category than the other PI non calls... Even if you can't tell whether the jersey pull made a difference or not.

I never watch pre-game analysis on the networks. It's almost always garbage.

I've watched every minute of every Chief's game and I barely know what Mahome's or Andy's voice sound like.


That's what happens when you delay watch and fast forward through all the non football stuff...

:D

Burkhardt is an Eagles fan, couldn't really tell.

The Fox pregame was compete shit.. Background music too loud in interviews and just horrible panel of so called experts.. Terry needs to go yesterday along with the whole crew…. Watching what little I did reminded me why I quit watching pregame clowns..

Zap Rowsdower 02-14-2023 02:12 PM

I like Burkhardt. Solid guy to have as the #1 announcer for a network.

That's what I heard, too. I thought he was pretty good in the other games, I saw, but it was just too much asskissing during the SB. As for the pregame, I normally watch FOX solely because I can't stand Phyllis Simms and Bummer. I usually mute the Raider scum's comments an just roll my eyes when Bradshaw speaks.

The sad thing is we'll have to endure Tommyboy next year. I wonder who'll cheat for him.

Burkhardt is great. And so is his story...

One day, Burkhardt, his brother and his best friend recorded themselves calling a game of Tecmo Bowl on a Nintendo Entertainment System. It soon became a regular occurrence and included a postgame show.
