Announcer incompetence

[1of10Charnatives]

Play by play guy just watched McCaffrey run for 5 yards, get tackled, then declares he was Ameer Abdullah.

Can't even get the player right when he's a star and of a different race than his backup.

This after listening to them get down and distance wrong multiple times in the first half.

You get paid very well to talk about a game for a living.

Literally anyone can do it.

Why networks don't yank these guys and fire them when they repeatedly make mistakes is beyond me.

You can't get names and basic facts right on national TV? 

We'll find someone who can. Such professional incompetence/laziness by the networks.

I love Greg Gumbel, but he is damn near senile at this point

What a stupid crybaby post. I bet WFNZ could shove a microphone in your face and you’d get pulled off the air in 5 minutes.

Earlier in the game they declared Meyers were Jones favorite red zone target. He is the guy who set the record for most catches and yards without ever scoring a touchdown lol

For you to call ANYONE else a crybaby after the way you poo posts because you got embarrassed two years ago in an argument is hilarious. You have the emotional maturity of a 4 year old. You are THE definition of a crybaby. No one gives a rip what you say. Now do your crybaby poo and go back to your hole.

Yeah, really makes you wonder what these guys do all week to prepare for the game. Based on what I'm hearing, literally nothing is my guess.

Greg Gumbel called Kyle Allen “Irving” for half a game in 2019

Blame CBS not covering the NFC moreso than they not being good announcers.  they don't see these names often in their coverage.

[Paa Langfart]

Earlier in the game they missed a couple plays showing wgaf stuff going on in the stadium.  yeah not impressed with CBS crew at all.

Most of Fox's guys who we get stuck dealing with are little better. You do nothing for a living but talk about a game that happens once per week. You have all week to prepare. Mispronouncing the very LAST guy on the roster's name should be inexcusable. Does anyone really think these guys put the time in studying the rosters?

I mean they can't even get basic information that is on my screen right like current down and distance. Practice your craft instead of doing more shots at a bar and telling stories about the good ole days.  You know why I know it can be done well? Because a minority of guys do it perfectly competently. Who works at their craft and who doesn't is blatantly obvious in that game. But the incompetent guys tend to keep their jobs because they have the right hair or playing career pedigree.

Whatever. IMO basketball commentators have a much more challenging job with the fluid ongoing on court action and most of them run laps around NFL commentators. It can be done, it just takes effort. Tired of NFL commentators phoning in bad work week after week without consequence.

Nah, I watch a lot of football, the CBS crews are just as shitty at calling AFC games too. Romo’s team is the only outlier

I was indifferent to Romo as a player, but found the way he retired classy, and regard him as the best commentator out there by a pretty wide margin. He's the one that proves it can be done and done well, leaving all the chuckleheads no real excuse.
