I would like to see the NFL run a contest for each team, where knowledgeable fans of each team and the sport would try out for an announcer spot for each game.. Say 2-4 fans per team would make the booth at some time during the season..
This would pit a fan of each team in the booth during the game to help broadcast the game and comment, and also talk smalk back and forth(within reason).. There would also be the standard announcer there to fill in if there is a void or to keep the conversation going..
I think it would be entertaining.. And it would also allow the rest of the country to learn more about each team and the players.. Since most of the ignorant announcers get names wrong and know nothing about certain teams..
