Earlier in the season Romo seemed to have free range over his analysis. He’d be critical of players, coaches and penalties.

Now it seems he’s becoming a Collinsworth clone or like Gruden when he was in the booth where every guy is the greatest, coming up with stupid nicknames like Alien and whatever the call is on the field is justifiable even if it’s highly questionable or flat out wrong.

Its been trending that way for him this season and I just assume it’s the natural evolution of any self persevering NFL in-game star analyst.

He's my #1 shittiest announcer by a country mile.


Just describing what you see with zero emotion is garbage level announcing.


Also **** St. Louis

So I take it you're not a fan of Pat Summerall, then?

no.

I think it was even before then, but there was a lot of butthurt after that World Series for sure. But yeah, I've never really understood it either.

First year he was fantastic. I'm not sure why he changed, but he's ****ing unbearable now

He was an almost giddy Buffalo fan today.

Pat was pretty emotionless in his calls, too. Only the subtlest of voice inflections when something interesting happened.

Note: He's my favorite play-by-play guy of all time. I'm just saying, if that's the reason you hate Buck, there's another guy widely regarded as one of the best to ever do it who had that same issue.

Him and Nantz both were relentless partisans today, a shameful display

I liked him better when he predicted plays. Now he gets over excited and talks to much.

I’ve thought the same. Liked him at first, but he’s just not good lately.

He's sniffing his own farts, and his peers have been praising him too much... he's gone Hollywood

like watching paint dry

I try to synch Mitch with the broadcast. It's fairly simple if you stream but not so much live.

LMAO

Tell us you're a geezer, without telling us you're a geezer... Fee Waybill lol

My short list of people I want dead.

Tom Brady, Tony Dungy, Tony Romo and JustDiqLix.

He makes Collinsworth sound listenable.

Imagine if the Bills face the Bengals. Romo will be even more insufferable.

They should team Romo up with Collinsworth. Maybe they'll beat each other to death.

I agree. They color commentate as if they were playing. That's what I like.:thumb:

They are the best crew and it is not even close.

I do agree they're probably #1 but I don't know what was up today. Romo kept doing weird things like referring to the Bills as the "champs." Comparing him to Michael Jordan, etc. They usually prop up the star players like Allen and Burrow and Mahomes for sure, that's part of the deal, but it was just way over the top hyperbole. Fans usually over exaggerate how much guys like Madden and Collinsworth rave about players when they're just praising great play, but today was different. Even Awful Announcing was mocking him on Twitter during the game.

Mr January
Alien
Champs
Now the onslaught begins
Big Game Gabe


It was like he was drunk or something.
I’d be willing to bet fans in Miami are pissed.

For sure today was weird.

I will say this feels like something I find annoying in sports discourse these days. *Everything* is the BEST or the WORST. 20 different players are the GOAT at the same time.

Fans and media alike are guilty here probably more so the fans.

Words mean things...unless you are talking about sports. LMAO

Big Game Gabe feels like one that is hard to push back against since the dude scored 4 ****ing TDs against us setting an NFL record. He has probably earned that title.

Oh I didn't keep track but I for sure saw Raiders fans, Pats fans, Jets fans, Bengals fans all making fun of him on Twitter. National accounts and writers. If Skip Bayless or Stephen A. Smith said some of that stuff they'd be getting hammered. It was not a great broadcast.

I remember years and years ago I was at a day job where nothing much happened on Sundays and there was a TV in this place. I don't know what the story was the weird audio settings or what was happening. But the Chiefs were playing the Packers and all that was coming through the TV was noise from the crowd and field and game.

It was one of the best watching experiences. I would happily subscribe and pay money to have access to an alternate audio that just had clean sounds of the game.

Romo has made a few comments about the producer in his ear. I assume they're pushing him to be what he's becoming instead of what he was.

I'd still take Romo every single game of the season if it meant ****tard Buck gets thrown off a cliff.

Calling them the champs was just jaw dropping

Joe Davis and Johnson are an underrated crew. Ian Eagle is my favorite play by play guy. Too bad he is stuck with Charles Davis. I like Olsen so far as well. He and Burkhart are also good.

My father in law, who was an avid Redskins fan, used to watch the games with no audio and enjoyed it much more that way.

Maybe a good idea if someone like Romo bothers you?

I can't imagine how difficult it would be having to run your mouth about something for 3+ hours and keep it between the lines the NFL and networks paint.

The recent Troy Aikman comments might be a good example where he said something about putting a skirt on QBs if I remember correctly. I thought it was correct and funny, but people get offended by so much these days.

People in here are too sensitive to commentating, IMO.

On Romo:

-I got the impression he referred to the Bills as the champs because they were AFC East champs. They were playing the Dolphins after all.

-Mr. January is a shitty nickname and not one anyone has ever used for Josh Allen, but prior to yesterday's game, check his numbers. He actually got better in the playoffs, which is pretty rare.

-"Alien" is kind of fitting. You really couldn't build a much better QB in a lab.

And you've just got to understand that commentators are going to hype up the star QBs. Other team's fans complain much the same about Romo's love for Mahomes. Collinsworth as well.

I think he was told to stop the detailed analysis he did his first year in the booth. He was literally tipping what the offense was doing on many plays.

It was FANTASTIC for us as fans, but I'd wager the NFL didn't like it as it was a potential competitive disadvantage for teams who could listen to the broadcast and tell the D what was coming.

Romo is doing what his employers told him to do. Sad as that is.

You could definitely see who he put money on. I feel that's generally how you can spot a biased announcer, by their gambling habits. Guaranteed that Troy Aikman, Dan Fouts and Joe Buck put money on games over the years, 2014 World Series comes to mind with Buck.

I couldn't believe it when he said the Bills play with heart, and I'm not talking about the unintentional pun.

The Bills...the only team I've ever seen quit during a game...plays with heart? Please.

Yep, they will always be pussy quitters to me. So sick of the media ball washing them. They were getting their asses handed to them.

One of my neighbors yesterday told me the same thing happened to some hockey player, getting hit on the heart with a puck, and they kept playing.

It's going to be insufferable to watch Rihanna perform while wearing a #3 jersey.

Too much delay. You couldn’t get the info to them in time.

The pats would find a way to mic the booth and send the signal directly to their coordinators , though.

Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal
Go go
Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal

The Bills aren’t “champs” anymore than the Jaguars are “champs.” Winning the division isn’t that big of a deal

His nickname is dumb and he’s not the only AFC QB whose numbers improve in January…

Just stop. It's OK to admit all those things he said were dumb as ****. No need to white knight him.

Besides, that's Zach's job.

What do you call the team that wins their division?

He's not the only one but he is actually one of few. Mahomes is another, if I'm not mistaken.

It’s just odd to call a division champion a champ in the NFL playoffs. I wonder if Romo felt like a champ after his 2007 divisional playoff game against the Giants, since the Cowboys won the NFCE that year

The timing of this thread was spot on. Can't remember the game but I was like dude shut up. I liked it when he would tell me what the QB or team is trying to do, but those days seem to be gone. Like he's trying too hard.

I actually enjoyed the Al Michaels and Tony Dungy playoff game. I think Al was just happy to call a game that mattered

It'd be ****ing hilarious trying to watch her put that shit on while maintaining whatever the **** that Dr. Seuss hairdo is.

I'm not white knighting him; I just think it's generally annoying how sensitive people are to a dude talking. "Romo said the Bills were the champs! Can you believe it!? OMG Ridiculous!"

"Can you believe Skip said the Chargers would win the AFC West!?"

Like, dawg, these dudes are paid to talk. They're going to say some shit that you don't agree with.

Then the same mfs bitching turn around and complain about the pussification of America and blah blah blah. We have no one to blame but ourselves. We are all like this.

Maybe a little bit, but not nearly as much when it's an intra-divisional playoff game, no?

It’s actually happened more in other sports than football. Football used to be a manly sport but has turned into what the snowflakes want it to be.

[insert picture of a pussy]

I'm just tired of the new generation of announcers stepping on the moment to hear themselves talk. Let the game speak for itself. AL Michaels understands that.

Unfortunately, Al is 78 years old. He's gotta be close to done. And that's a shame.

When it’s all said and done his most iconic moment will be calling the 1980 Olympic hockey game between the USA and Soviet Union and the “Do you believe in miracles?” quote.

I usually don't pay much attention, but he was bad tonight... like Chris Collinsworth bad.

JOE BURROW IS AN ASSASSIN

CBS tried to do an “intervention” with Romo last offseason to get him to prepare better and not suck… guess that didn’t work.

Is that it? He's not preparing?

Seems like it. The guy doesn't break shit down anymore. He's doing Brooke Pryor-type of "feel good" crap and driving stupid ****ing QB narratives about Josh Allen and Burrow.

Tony Romo is going to be a dream compared to listening to Brady call games.

Can't say I blame him. At first he was pretty much predicting plays perfectly and he caught flak for that both from fans and his producers. At that point **** it, if I'm going to get shit on regardless I'm just winging it.

Romo signed a 10-year, $180 million contract with CBS in 2020 after rising quickly to start his career but suffered a decline since

Bad free agent signing, who would have ever thunk?

He predicted OUR plays perfectly. In like one game.

He's been ****ing wrong on everything since the 2018 AFC Championship game.

There's a happy medium between sitting there trying to predict shit like an asshole and just sticking to stupid sportstalk TV narratives.

Tons of guys do it the right way. Greg Olsen is one. Troy Aikman is boring as ****, but he does the job he's supposed to do. Just do what they do.

I might be the only one but I miss Dennis Miller , what Bill Burr up to theses days

He sucks ass.

Josh Allen is The Alien.

Other than Greg Olsen looking like he is going to lay down plastic and murder ****ers, he's probably the best now.

Brady will do such a good job. Romo does a fine job. He just lost some steam. He's still very good at what he does.

Another overpaid Dallas QB. :thumb:

He is Dexter isn't he

He just goes on these rants where he's not even talking about football anymore, and gets all magnanimous about the TV narrative.

Like, if youre not going to predict the plays, at least talk about the game thats being played, instead of comparing players to Jordan and giving QBs nicknames. That's all I ask, just call the game thats played.

I sure some jackoff at the network told him to do that.
you cant JUST talk about football. You have to be an entertainer.

So, we want you to...............

LMAO

The censor button guy just lost the next 5 years worth of sleep when you mentioned Bill Burr.

Bueh summed up Olsen better than I ever could. ROFL

Every single former player and coach can break down the game instantaneously and come close to predicting future plays. The networks and/or league don't want them to do it.

"Mr. January".


Good grief, man. :facepalm:
