XFL announcer?

I would not bet against the notion that this is just practice for his eventual job doing the same thing for more money in a more conventional setting.

Honing his skills in the minor leagues first, practicing up for the big payday in the NFL with MNF, CBS or Fox.

Greg is a really smart dude!

I had never listened to him before but had always heard good things by people in this forum who had.

Honestly?  I wasn't very impressed.

Again, he needs some refining.  He has the voice, the knowledge and the charisma.  His problem right now is he's broadcasting like he having a casual phone conversation.  A bit more polish and stick to the merits of the game without all the sidebar jabbering and he will be just fine.

I’d love he and Romo in the booth together. I think both are capable of play by play.

of the 3 times i've heard him 1 was pretty good.  the other 2 he was flat and sounded a little robotic.  robots need to do kung fu when they're voices are a little flat and i saw none of that.

He says XFL is legit 

[Future of the Funchise]

I actually enjoyed it and was pleasantly surprised when I found out he was calling the game. Pulled at my heart strings a bit when he referred to some past practice squad and camp body guys as his guys.

XFL has some potential. I like that it pretty much allows me to keep my routine weekend schedule of beer and hot wings on the couch or at my desk for a few more months. Haven't picked a team to attach to yet tho. Hopefully it has the chance to grow because there aren't very many opportunities for growth and development for players that don't make the 53 man NFL roster. poo, there aren't many for some that do.

Speaking of, he's visiting the Redskins today and the Seahawks on Wednesday.

Far as I know, no one else has expressed interest, so maybe he winds up with a new team by the end of the week (assuming he gets offers).

Edit: Rapoport confirms...

[TheRed]

So is Greg going to join a growing list of former Panthers that certain fans poo on just because they can?

Good for Olsen.
