Re: NFL Off Topic

Troy Aikman is as dumb as Phil Simms with some of the nonsense that comes out of his mouth. Always preferred the production of CBS over what FOX offers. CBS HD feed is far superior as well.

Robots Boooooosh?

They couldn't have gotten Mayock, at least?

Games will be simulcast on NFL Network.

In terms of the Lorenzen nicknames, "Round Mound of Touchdown" was far and away my favorite, though "Pillsbury Throwboy" is good as well.

I can't stand Aikman and Buck, for my money Nantz and Simms is the superior duo, though neither is other-worldly. In terms of production, though, I prefer Fox's coverage as a whole to CBS's... don't know why, but the CBS coverage always seems super bright and it feels more like I'm watching golf than football.

Re: NFL Off Topic

Since Fox and CBS seem to be the only debate people are having, I would like to point out that ABC, NBC, and Turner all bid too.

Re: NFL Off Topic

The first 8 Thursday Night Football will be simulcast on CBS, w/ Sims and Nantz commentating. The last half of the season will be exclusive to NFL Network.

Meh. I'll stick with cfb on Thursdays, thank you very much.

Anyone but Turner. How their NBA coverage can be top notch, yet make MLB playoff games border on unwatchable is impressive.

Re: NFL Off Topic

CBS with Nantz and Simms. Snoozefest.

That's my first thought especially if the game itself isn't any great shakes.

I'll get some heat for this, but I much much much prefer Buck and Aikman to those two. Like, not even close.

I agree with you here, Buck much prefers football to baseball and it clearly shows. He still tries to be "funny" at times but Aikman blunts it pretty well.

I don't think Aikman is as dumb as you make him out to be. I just think his style of analysis while good, is probably a bit more suited to the studio than in the booth. There are times where he has lapses of memory and repeats things which is to be expected considering how many concussions he's had over the years. I think Steve Young is a very good analyst when he gets the chance but put him in the booth and he'd have the same kind of issues IMO.

Re: NFL Off Topic

I generally feel like none of the NFL broadcasting crews are well-liked.

My "favorite" of the bunch is probably Michaels/Collinsworth on NBC, but Michaels is too opinionated for an announcer IMO and Collingsworth's voice grates on me, but Michaels is obviously a legend in the business and Collingsworth isn't afraid to criticize anyone, which is the one thing I like about him.

Re: NFL Off Topic

Just 2 months, they could probably hiatus anything they don't want to bump. Sweeps are in July so won't interfere there.

It would be more like 3 months though. All these shows basically take from Thanksgiving to New Years off too.

Re: NFL Off Topic

I'd prefer they scrap Thursday Night Football altogether, but I'm cool with it being on CBS. Games on the NFL Network feel like exhibition games with their presentation, like they're "tucked away" or something.

Thursday games should be after Thanksgiving. I like the addition of a couple Saturday games though. Feels like we haven't had those in a few seasons.

Maybe we'll get some better matchups now but I don't think Thursday games will ever have a high quality of play.

Sweeps are Feb/May/November.


And Sorry Dayman, they'll probably just push back BBT till November or move it to Monday(HIMYM slot).

Nick Collins says he's ready to play

Re: NFL Off Topic

Don't taunt me like this.

His ghost is still hanging over our defense.

Unlikely he'll come back to GB, seeing that as it stands now his medical status hasn't changed since when we cut him - according to his agent.

I would hate for them to get rid of Thurs night football. Just like with the college fans, it gives you a chance to most likely watch 2 teams that you would normally not care the first thing for on Sat / Sun. Not only does it give the 2 teams playing more exposure than they would normally get, but it gives fans an extra day of watching football if they so choose.

Edit..

Just noticed the comment about Saturday games. There is no way the NFL would want to try to compete with the NCAA for viewership on Saturdays. NFL games on Saturdays are a terrible idea.
