I don't understand the hate for him. He is fantastic
He was pretty annoying yesterday.
how so?
I think he and aikman are the best TV analysts. Collinsworth goes into more in-game detail than anyone. and I love the fact that he will call guys out when they screw something up. Most announcers just want to tell you how great every player is (especially gruden...I cannot stand him)

i think Collinsworth has great insight and analysis, he just comes off as being very condescending at times, almost whiney

That was a blown call
They missed that call
They didnt get that call right
That call was wrong
That was a missed call
STFU Troy!!!
What drove me nuts is how they focused so much time on talking about the missed block in the back call on the Packers...yet the 49ers had TWO false starts in a row that the refs didn't call...hardly a mention at all about that. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that's an excuse...just irritated me at how biased they were.

Also would try to downplay it when the Michaels(?) would bring up his playing days, but then would seemingly bring them up the next possible chance he got.
Maybe different strokes for different folks. I'll never understand why so many people hate on Joe Buck.

maybe the ref union slipped troy a few bucks to discuss blown calls all game...i mean, it's not like he won't do anything for money (rent a center sums it up for me)

they should have like a 5 year max broadcast career. after 5 you are out the door. too many annoucers become cartoon's of themselves.

Ya know..
I was thinking Troy had some type of agenda..
He just wouldnt STFU about the refs...
Take me piece by piece..... Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....

Yea agree..I like seing those old school highlights (like the ones in black in white)..the announcers describe the action and then are silent until the next play.

I don't think collinsworth talks about his playing days much at all. theismann was the worst with that stuff
I agree on Joe Buck. Like I said, for as shitty as the nfl product is their announcers are pretty good.
gruden is the one I can't stand (dierdorf too). he makes MNF unwatchable

You have to admit that they were awful though. If the refs in the Bears game missed all those damn calls you KNOW you would be bitching about it too!!!!

if i could bring any single annoucer back, i'd bring back Keith Jackson for college football..

Like I said yesterday
Personal foul #56 on the return team.
Oh wait! Nevermind!!
You Packer fans cant bitch about the refs!!! hehehehehe

Hey, I'll admit it worked out in our favor a couple times. Either way THESE REFS SUCK!!! If Thursday's game comes down to a blown call I'm swearing the damn season off until they get the real refs back!

gruden is the one I can't stand (dierdorf too). he makes MNF unwatchable
He didn't a ton, but when his partner would bring it up he'd try to play it cool and it seemed like the next play he would be bringing it up himself. He's better as an analyst on Inside the NFL.
Gruden is awful and for as bad as his color commentary is his analysis on stuff like Sportcenter or Prime Time is atrocious. Somebody please hire that guy as a coach.
Dierdorf during the Colts game yesterday was about the most annoyed I've ever been during a football game. I gave him a pass since the Colts are my team and I loathe the Bears and all their bandwagon fans around here.
Somebody mentioned Herm Edwards earlier in the thread too. Add him to my list if I haven't done it already. He would definitely fall under 81's 5 year rule. His schtick was funny the first few times I seen the Coors light commercial. I'm embarrassed for ESPN that they put him on so many shows.

For sure...In the games I watched there were alot of calls that they seemed guilted into.
Alot of them seemed to have the "Ricky Bobby I'm not sure what to do with my hands" thing going on when they would step up to announce a penalty, which I thought was pretty entertaining.
I don't think they've actually done that bad of a job. There have a been a few real head scratchers combined with a bunch of calls that the regular refs could miss.

i agree for the most part they have been fine, the gb/san fran crew excluded.
agree on the ricky bobby thing. they don't seem to have a clue what the hand motions are or what they are suppose to say.

yeah, the nfl makes BILLION$ but fuck the "real refs." they already make $128K per year for an awesome parttime job and they want a pension plan that no (full time) nfl employee gets :x

STFU Troy!!!

in fairness, that was the worst reffed game of the week, at least of the games that i saw.

But Jesus Christ Troy..
