Yes, and Trico isn't terrible for a PBP guy. Seriously, they are one of the better teams going right now. My only complaint is that I really have to concentrate to distinguish Jaws from Dancing-Raider-Girl. They sound very similar to me.

And did anyone notice the tie Jaws was wearing tonight? It was horrid, dude has no fashion sense at all.

Quite honestly, the volume is on mute probably 75% of the time, and that includes Chiefs games.

I want to watch FOOTBALL, not listen to some overpaid douche dumb down a play, mis-pronounce names and call the wrong guy for penalties and tackles.

The only thing ESPN is good for is college sports.....to a degree.

Other than that they pretty much **** up most pro sports braodcasts. They've become the ET for sports....kinda stupid. But due to them being so much bigger than everyone else all combined, you're kinda stuck with them.

I've always liked Jaws and Gruden doesn't annoy me at all. I think it's more match-up problems for me. I just don't have much interest in the teams they're putting on MNF these days. Frankly, I watch SNF less and less as well. I think it's mostly my disdain for the NFL that is creating a rift for me.

For the most part, I agree. There are fewer and fewer games each year on SNF that capture my attention.

With that said, I'm not wholly sure that it's NFL's fault. There have been definitely changes to the CBA the past few years that affected perspective months in advance of the season (and my mis-perception in August has been repeated ad nauseam).

NBC has been a trainwreck. Their CEO has been fired (well, as of the end of 2010) and Comcast, who SHOULD have a better handle on viewers needs will take over and hopefully make better decisions, all around.

ALL of that said, there are only 16 nights of Sunday Night Football each and even if I don't watch closely, I'd be remiss if it wasn't on in the room.

the only thing i dont like is that as soon as ya get used to someone they leave, the good thing about SNF is consistency (Micheals). Gruden will probably be coaching again next year and then your left with tirico and jaworski, yikes.

HotRoute 11-02-2010 01:10 AM

i have almost gotten to the point where i can only watch the chiefs play and then just catch some highlights.

chris berman isnt great doing the highlights, but he is consistent and has been doing it for years

At this point they should just schedule games with as many likely fantasy football-loaded teams as possible and count on the gambler vote.

Gruden is horrible imo. I swear he talks up every god damn player on both teams. And he always has those stupid nicknames for them all. "Now this guy Cassell i call him the Chief, because hes a quarterback and is in charge." JUST SHUT THE **** UUUUUUUP!

You can tell that the longer he's out of the game the less he gives a $3it...
