The Ronde Barber Thread

[RJK]

He's clearly a dolt...which means he has a long career ahead of him in broadcasting

[Fox007]

Just post the GIF of Stewart dribbling him like a basketball and call it gg.

[KendrickPanther]

He kept bitching about Deangelo running out of bounds because it was stopping the clock. But it wasn't... like he didn't even know the rules.

[SOJA]

if I played my whole HOF career with one team I'd be a homer too- it's Fox's fault for putting on that game - a division game no less

[lightsout]

He tried to explain why Levante David would have won Defensive Player of the Year on another team. Whether it's true or not, it didn't happen, he played for the Bucs, don't walk over Luke's achievement. Towards the end he was so irate by the Bucs performance he could barely talk.

To be fair, he DID also qualify that statement with "take away Luke Kuechly". So, basically, more coulda, woulda, and shoulda. "If the best LB in the game wasn't playing in the NFL and if David was on a better team, he'd be the best LB in the game". 

In game, he didn't seem too biased to me. He did end the game as a homer though.

[blackcat]

He almost had a melt down towards the end, trying to explain the various "Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda's", lol

Only saw the end of the game on TV and caught this and thought 'what a moron.' He's gotta hate calling Panthers games especially with Stew still playing. Probably has nightmares about stiff arms!

^. I brought that up when a buddy of mine said he wished Ronde would shut up (in not so nice terms). Told him he was still butt-hurt from that stiff arm. Cause that is what bounced off the turf when it happened.

[blackcat]

^ I was at that game and remember thinking that J-Stew just ended Barber's career with that stiff-arm.

Me too.

[Donald LaFell]

I think he did a fine job. 

[Chaos]

He kept bitching about Deangelo running out of bounds because it was stopping the clock. But it wasn't... like he didn't even know the rules.

I remember that, Chris Meyers wanted to say that the clock was actually running, but spared Rhonde from being called out in his first broadcast.

[rainwater]

Ah, the usual, "this announcer was terrible and was mean to our team" thread.  Honestly, he spent the whole game giving the Panthers defense props (especially Kuechly).  The problem is huddlers tend to find anything that isn't flattering to the Panthers some type of bias and homerism.

[Matthias]

"Well if this happens..."

"If McCown...."

"Lavonte David this... Gerald McCoy this..."

He didn't give the Panthers any props. I guess that's what happens when you play with TB your entire career.

 

Ronde: What if Luke Kuechly was on our football team?

He gave the Panthers some props, but not many.  I know he commented on Williams and Stewart being one of the best, if not the best, duos in football. Also was high on Olsen all game. 

 

Thats pretty much it though..

[camycamcan]

Seriously?

Dude was homerific as fug.

c'mon man really
