Joe Montana, Kevin Greene and others have tried the commentating game...and sucked at it.

Being a great player doesn't guarantee you'll also be a great talker.

Lol imagine being so pathetic that you freak out and feel it necessary to blast everyone for not wanting to listen to tom brady. 

He's a boring annoying putz that's been coddled for years by the NFL, the media, and apparently by some fans as well. 

Just when you think one Brady era is almost over, we have to start another one. 

Tis goat needs to be taken out to pasture, tied up, and left.

O.O. Honestly I can’t say I’d decline that offer either if I was Brady. That’s a lot of cash.

He will be treated like a king...if he wasn't already.

Brees is bad but Jason Witten is the goat of shitty commentators.

Oh Lord

Heck, Witten was so bad he went back to being a player.

[Aussie Tank]

I hate the man but I respect him. And I’m pretty sure he’d be very insightful.

It's crazy because the guy is generally known as an unlikeable. Even his fans kinda lean into the arrogance/GOAT stuff because he's never had an entertaining personality.

It's odd that the networks think a big name calling games matters more than the quality of the person calling the game. There are a LOT of NFL names that are utter sh!t in the booth. Case and point, Brees for all his on-field ability was pretty rough on NBC last season. 

I wish they'd just hire dudes that played and are actually good at announcing (like Olsen). All Fox did was spend a lot of money on a marketing gimmick (i.e. Brady eventually calling games).

I think a lot of networks are trying to find their own Romo.

Exactly right. Some of the best announcers of any sport never played, or were average at best.

I think you're confusing play by play guys and color commentators.

There are very few color commentators in any sport that didn't play or coach the sport, most professionally, but almost all of them collegiately for sure.

For mainstream, national broadcasts Witten is probably the worst I’ve ever heard.

Chris Collinsworth, Brian Billikens. But you are right, most did play.

Play by play guys are Jim Nantz, Al Michaels, Joe Buck

Color commentators are Aikman, Bill Rafferty, Tony Romo
