The game didn't start yet but it looks like there might be some new announcers. Thank god. It was painful to listen to those 3 clowns. The only question is what took so long ?

I just realized that they probably sent that crew to broadcast the Saint- Giant game tomorrow night. Oh well. One game without them is better then nothing.

and Thiesman is doing MNF next year w/Al Michaels for ESPN. It will suck. I'll be using mute and playing Madden...

Do a google search for Worst NFL announcers and see what comes up. It is pretty widely agreed that they are horrible. Dr. Z of SI gave then a 1/2 star in 2003 and then gave them 0 stars last year when ranking all NFL teams. What will it take for ESPN to get rid of them ?

I thought I would never say this but I really miss Howard Cosell.

Maybe I'm the only one but I actually like the Theisman, Maguire, Patrick team!!!!

I do miss Sterling Sharpe as an analyst though

I don't mind them so much. Could be worse... they could have Dan Dierdorf on the team.

Well last nights team had Sharpe and Tirico. You must have been in heaven. It was kinda weird, I think Sharpe came in late because for the first Kansas City drive it was just Tirico the whole time.

It almost sounded like a radio broadcast.

Well Dr Z had SF ramked ahead of the Bengals last week.....

I like the Sunday night crew, though I'd rather have Tirico involved. He's excellent.

Tirico is the worst. He tries to do his best "announcer voice" at various points during the game, rather than just talking normally. He also gets too excited, roots for the upset too much and is generally annoying. I don't think his voice is good, either. The only people worse than Tirico is anyone employeed by CBS.

watching the rams game.
Bill Maas is irritating as hell.
I'd mute the TV but that's just too weird.

just checked Dr. Z's ratings. surprised to see he gave them (Sam Rosen and Bill Maas) 3 1/2 stars.
Rosen seems ok but every time Maas opens his mouth I feel an urge to knock my head into a wall or something.

He was annoying. He kept repeating himself, stating the obvious, and wouldnt even shut up when the next play started.
