Frenchie Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Is it just me or is that thing way too big, and at the worst of spots?It is really distracting.... And who is that annoying colour commentary guy??? @Frenchie_TO Owner of the Rochester Americans of the MLH Owner of the Toronto Frenchies of the GCFHL6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCBoy Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 It is extremely annoying and gets in the way of the occasional play...Kornheiser was brought in to be a "the funny guy" and he isn't doing that great a job, he's more annoying than anything else. I miss MNF on ABC already...On a similar note (different channel) CBS changed their look (FINALLY) and it's much more modern than what they used to have, I like their change in the scoreboard since it's not so boring anymore...

otherwilds Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I like the ESPN ingame score at the bottom center of the screen, no other stuff cluttering the frame.The trio is Mike Tirico play by play, Joe Theisman - analyst and Tony Kornheiser providing color.I cannot not stand Thiesman, I like Kornheiser's columns and schtick on "Pardon The Interruption" but his football insight is sub par so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayMack23 Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 You guys are nuts. Kornheiser is great! Toreco was a great college football analyst and I think he's still just as good at the professional level. Kornheiser is the guy who shut up that stupid Joe Theisman whenever he makes his dumbass comments about "the time honored traditions of pro football". I do agree Madden and Michaels were/are much better, but c'mon Tony Kornheiser is the man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSU151 Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 It's like 5 minutes into the second game, and I'm finding out that Nessler, Vermeil, and Jaws blow the other three out of the water. This is a good group of announcers. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Vermiel was always a good anaylyst before he went back to coaching. You're right that group on the second game is kicking the crap out of the first gamers. Tony Kornheiser has the same problem that Dennis Miller had which is trying to be funny all the time when the situation doesn't warrant a funny response. And I like Joe Theismann, I'm probably the only one, but I think he's a good guy and sometimes the stuff Kornheiser says to him seem a little offensive to a guy like him.

NJTank Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Joe Theisman= Tim McCarver just hearing his voice sometimes makes me cringe and its the type of cringe that makes me want to see the LT play again and again and again. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJ Sands Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 And I like Joe Theismann, I'm probably the only one, but I think he's a good guy and sometimes the stuff Kornheiser says to him seem a little offensive to a guy like him. you are the only one.i also don't think that kornheiser has clicked yet, but i think he will eventually. it takes time to build rapport with two other people, especially when you probably are light years ahead of them in terms of intelligence.

FiddySicks Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Now, I like Brad Nessler, but he seems so amazingly out of place doing NFL games. When im not watching the game and let myself trail I think for just a split second that its a big college game going on.

NJTank Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 That was an awful game the Raiders should be ashamed of themselves they brought shame to their uniforms, with that performance. 27-0 yikes.BTW if I lost my fanatsy game this week I will be kicking myself for not startingh the Chargers D, wont make that mistake next week, at least I won with the game Tony Gonzalez had THough to be honest Jake Plummer helped me allot more the Jay Cutler watch has started in Denver. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think both Kornheiser and Theisman may get better when Washington is not involved in the game.

Korkie Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Kornheiser's best line was about the players and hyperbaric chambers.

logodawg Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Was it just me, or was Dick Vermiel a hell of a lot funnier that Tony Kornheiser? I hope the suits at ESPN take note of who was the better broadcast team. I once had a car but I crashed it. I once had a guitar but I smashed it. I once, wait where am I going with this?

Korkie Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I agree that Jaws (who is great during Eagles preseason games) and Vermeil were very good. Nessler was ok, but seemed out place. I miss Mike Patrick doing NFL games.

Chief. Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I don't think Theismann makes a good announcer. Nothing can make me respect a guy who, in an interview, once said this:Everybody remembers what they were doing when my leg was broken.That says it all...

HowBoutThemFins Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 The previous record was 8.9 million households on Christmas Day 2004 for a game between Detroit and Miami. I'm 100% sure Miami & Detroit didn't play on Christmas in 2004. Even so, why would that be the highest rated game on ESPN? Both teams were awful that year.

Both teams were awful that year. ...because there was nothing else to watch? [Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008 Attention: In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from your stay at the CCSLC, the reader is advised that the above post may contain large amounts of sarcasm, dry humour, or statements which should not be taken in any true sort of seriousness.
