Even though FOX sucked, I enjoyed the commentary
 

The pregame sucked. Sean Payton and Gronk were horrific. Everyone was biased.
The postgame with Terry Bradshaw picking on Andy to “waddle over here” was pathetic.

But man oh man. I have to say I was really happy with Kevin Burkhardt, Greg Olsen and Mike Pereira.

I’m so thankful that Joe Buck and Troy Aikman left and did not do this game like our first Super Bowl. I will always be pissed that the best moment in my Chiefs fanhood is Damien Williams breaking the tackle to score, realizing I had first witnessed my team winning a Super Bowl and then realizing that Joe Buck hates my team and could not give a single ****.

That was the worst goddamn call ever. Absolutely no passion or excitement.

Burkhardt and Olsen were so good in comparison. “Man wide open! TD Chiefs! It’s Skyy Moore!” Or Olsen’s “he’s gotta get down!”

Even Pereira called the hold perfectly right after it happened. And yeah Olsen let some emotions get out a bit after but he came back and let Mike explain it.

Everything with FOX sucked but those 3. I’m so glad we got them instead of the boring St. Louis homer and “talks to me when he has 33% of my rings” asshole

Agreed. My ears won’t bleed every time I watch the replay

The pregame show left me with VERY low expectations for the broadcast, which were easily exceeded.

The team intros were pretty good. Not as good as the Rock intros from 2020, but WAY better than the lame ones against Tampa.

Nah, sorry. Whoever was doing all the caterwauling about the legit holding play ruined it.

I'll always be biased towards Greg Olsen because he's a former Miami TE, but especially now that he's about to get royally screwed by Tommy Bitch...

Not happening anytime soon if at all.

I actually like Olsen for the most part.

However, if the only game you ever heard from him was this Super Bowl, it's easy to see why he got demoted.

Greg Olsen was pretty good. I enjoyed his call.

My sound was so far out of sync that I kept turning the TV on and off during pregame hoping it would fix itself. Never did. Luckily, it didn't matter during the game but it was annoying. Heard it was like that for a lot of people.

Okay this is awesome. I’m a fan now. Give us as many games with him as possible.

He didn’t have daddy give him his career like Joe Buck.

By the end of the game, it was pretty obvious he had a rooting interest in the Eagles.

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.

I hope this isn't true, but it would be kinda sweet to hear Brady announce the Super Bowl when Mahomes wins his 8th ring.

Until the NFL figures out what a catch is, the in booth ref consultant can get shot out of a cannon.

Pereira said the word "process" during the SB more times than Pioli did in his entire Chiefs tenure.

Greg Olsen sucks. I can't stand his whiny voice.

Not that I'm looking forward to Brady's commentary.

I think he does a hell of a job.

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.

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.

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..

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...

https://chicago.suntimes.com/2021/1/...-to-technician

That's pretty cool. LMAO

Bradshaw need to be sent to the glue factory

Gronk didn't want to complement the Chiefs because Travis Kelce makes him seethe on the inside.

Bradshaw is the one getting under my skin lately. Dude needs to go.

Bradshaw is terrible.

If anybody can find the german language commentary for the game please send they are entertaining in germany.

I told you guys he’s a demon now.

I used to watch Berman and Jackson pretty religiously back in the day, but the thing that makes it most unwatchable now are the saccharine player interviews and hype stories, and whoever's voice that is on "coming up Jimmy sits down with..."

Fox has really struggled to find top-notch commentators and analysts. CBS has them beat top to bottom.

Does anyone think Brady will be Bruce Arians 2.0? I do and it will be horrible.

The other two are fine, but Olsen sucks donkey balls.

I said it earlier but everybody acted like FOX lost the war to claim star talent as their lead announcer team. CBS already had Nantz, Amazon paid out the ass for Michaels, and NBC moved on from Michaels with Tirico, who had already been great. Oh, and Buck and Aikman. Lol did those guys get overpaid. Each network is paying their dudes out the ass.

"What? You can't just take your B team and promote them to your A team!"

Uhh, yeah. Yeah you can. Because that's what FOX just did. And you know what? It probably didn't cost them a single viewer or set of eyeballs compared with if they had kept the better-known team of Buck and Aikman.

And you're right. When it gets down to it, it's relatively easy to find color commentators. Good play-by-play guys are harder to come by because they do so much talking but can't really let much of their personality show or else they become annoying. But they're far from impossible.

So why not tout Burkhardt and Olsen as your #1 team? What do they not do that you get out of the other douches on the other networks?

I’m rooting for the cancer now.

“Waddle over here” is 1) not funny and 2) pretty ****ing disrespectful for a top 5 all time coach.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/nf...Andy-Reid.html

Yeah, **** that shit.

Olson wasn't as bias as some we have heard. I'd think we will do good with Brady. He obviously has some sort of connection to Patrick. Mioght call ua fair.

You a BlackOp mult? :p

Commentary doesn't matter because people will watch the NFL regardless of who is commentating. The SB especially.

At most there's two nationally televised games on simultaneously during the regular season. You're watching which game interests you more; irrespective of the commentators.

I have no idea why networks pay football commentators so much when the public will watch even on mute.

Now imagine if CBS, Fox, and ABC start showing the same game on multiple channels at once. Then maybe it would matter which channel has the better commentary.

you should be praising the football gods for FOX

that's the only way you were getting 4k

Brady will never be in the booth. Its beneath him.

I think he does a bunch of special crap and does a lot of corporate BS. Guest on shows. Special interviews. Thats all.

Should have had a Manning cast of the SB , I tend to watch them on Mondays now.

Thread starter is mostly right but I have a hard time getting over Olsen whining about the holding call on Bradbury.

Like so many others, I have also quit watching pregame shows. I don't care what any of these assholes think. Gronk in particular is like a dumber version of Herman Munster, minus the humor. I also pretty much loathe all things Fox when it comes to NFL coverage.

And Bradshaw absolutely sucks balls running the Super Bowl postgame show. Comes off as awkward, surly, cranky, and despite his decades of experience, unprepared. Definitely agree with the glue factory comment. It's way past time.

It would be nice to have choices given how easy streaming is.

I guess the Manning broadcast is a choice and some people listen to a radio broadcast while watching the game.

I wish they streamed multiple camera angles. I would show the standard broadcast on one TV. I would have an old TV above it that showed a wide angle view of what is happening in the secondary...

Because Greg Olsen isn't a face or a name? I mean, I'm not saying it's right or anything but look at the guys they generally hire - they're mostly all borderline or current HOF'ers with name recognition, commentary skills be damned.

That's how we get years of guys like Dan ****ing Fouts.

Dude, he has a $40M contract. He's not going to be doing a bunch of miscellaneous stuff.

^this^ and the comments about the hold were wrong and caused the whole nation to question the end. Fox truck, and Olson were the reason, and Olson was a Philly one who sucks the penis that whole game.

Yeah, the Chiefs should sue Fox for making us look bad. They didn't show the backside angle of the actual hold, showed us a different angle that made Philly look better, and that pumpkin pie haircut freak Greg Olsen has to whine about the penalty.

Clear bias from an NFC friendly network.

LMAO Pumpkin Pie haircut....:LOL:

Fixed. It’s pure ass and haven’t watched it in decades.

The only time I have is during the Hamlin game because I wanted to see if he was going to live.

I think outfits pay because of the MNF debacles over the years, Limbaugh, Miller, Booger et all.

It’s safer to pay a known quantity so you don’t get roasted and hurt the “brand”. Nevermind most of the brand degradation for ESPN comes through their non-live programming but whatever.

It’s dumb as ****. Rather than, I don’t know, be competent, we will just overpay regardless of the fact that it is certainly time to get skinny in OTA media.
