My biggest takeaway from the last 2 weeks

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.

We are 0-2 in games he announces. 

I'd rather he stay far away from us for the time being.
