We get Joe and Troy on Sunday...

Looks like Fox's "A" team will be at the poo dome this Sunday. Be prepared for Buck's fugly ass beard, lots of Brees slurping, Saints excuses, and monotonous play narration. "Newton! Endzone! Pass is...caught!" 

I'm muting the TV and tuning into the Spanish broadcast. But at least we get to see Erin Andrews on the sideline.

10-1 they are betting New Orleans Upset.

For sure they are. At least where I live, it seems like a lot of people want us to lose. I had a guy at work tell me "panthers are going to lose. I've never been more sure of anything more in my life. No way Brees puts up two dud games in a row" 

give me a break

Who in the hell else would you prefer? People gripe about every announcing duo like there's another definitively better. I'll take anything over the C teams. 

Thom Brennaman, who we've had for a few games, is very good. So is Jim Nance, although sometimes that's offset by Phil Simms' idiotic drivel. The SNF and MNF crews are great. And Troy is not half bad most of the time. I just cannot stand Joe Buck and his delivery or personality. He and Rhonda Barber are really the only 2 TV guys I've heard most people complain about.

Simms is so so bad. Concussed forever. Travesty he's paired with Jim Nantz. 

I like him a lot because he's so smart but a lot of people gripe about Collinsworth. 

Brennaman comes with Charles Davis who I can take or leave.

And that's the point. Opinions are mixed. There is no holy unquestioned duo when it comes to the announcing booth. The C team guys are C team for a reason, they're not as talented, and the A team guys, let's face it, don't know our team as well and it reflects in the knowledge they bring to the game. Which is what many wrongly perceive as bias - if you stop and think about it does anyone really think Joe Buck or anyone else is emotionally invested in the game's outcome?

    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
