Football Watching Tony Romo is insufferable anymore. - Page 9

**HemiEd** · 01-16-2023, 07:45 AM

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.

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…

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

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?

Besides, that's Zach's job.

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 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.

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

**007** · 01-16-2023, 04:21 PM

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.
