My biggest takeaway from the last two weeks is that Greg Olsen is a really good commentator and I wish he'd commentate all our games.

The other guy in the booth with him though..... Ooh Wee Mayne.

He's good when it comes to analyzing the game, but tbh I found him really boring to listen to.  

That is what makes Tony Romo so good.  He can analyze the game with the best of them, but he does it with enthusiasm that makes it really easy to listen to.  Which is how it should be done.  Being a good announcer isn't all about being knowledgable.  Its about being entertaining, and Olsen is going to have to get a lot better in that regard.

He's better than some other guys in the Fox line-up though.

I'd rather be bored to death than being "cringe'd" to death.

Considering I dont' give a poo what the announcer says anyone should be background noise. We are there to watch the game. If he is giving good info for the few times you pay attention to what they are saying then good.

Dead on. 

I was indifferent to Romo when he was a player up until the classy way he stepped aside to not be a distraction when Dak took over, that really impressed me. My opinion on the vast majority of commentators is somewhere between loathing and laughing at their inane pablum, but Romo is a true breathe of fresh air. Insightful, engaging and entertaining.

Olsen provides good insight but is still new at it and needs to bring some enthusiasm. It's too easy to give him a pass because he's our guy, but the truth is his game still needs some work. Having said that, I'd take him over almost everyone in the Fox line-up. Dear Lord most of those guys suck donkey balls.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
