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?

    • And that makes you right. 
    • Mel Kiper said he would retire if Jimmy Clausen wasn't a successful NFL starter too. Just because the experts make a claim doesnt mean it's true either.  Bryce may be a serviceable QB for someone. Serviceable QBs don't bring you a perennial winner or lead you to the playoffs over and over. Serviceable QBs also dont get 50m plus per year deals which is what a Bryce extension would look like.  The stats show he hasn't been even a serviceable QB in the 3 years he's been here. The eye test shows he hasn't put together 2 franchise QB salary games back to back in 3 years.  Complain all you want about people being negative, but people pointing out that Bryce is held to a different standard than anyone else on the team isn't complaining. It's stating the obvious. 
    • We have big bodied WRs and 3 TEs who all have potential and each bring something different to the table. I never saw the need to go out there and try and find a new starting TE.  While it's nice to have a guy like McBride, Bowers, etc, I think a team's better use of the cap is by having TEs on rookie contracts or cheap vets, not having to pay elite TE money.
