Brees out at NBC

I always laugh at how they always think these great players will automatically make great broadcasters. 

 

I think they have to try because there is the appeal factor that pulls ratings.  Aikman is coming to mind as being decent behind the microphone.  When you get down to it I dont see anything particularly special about him other than he just has a matter of fact oh shucks type approach that people seem to accept.  I dont see charisma but it comes across as genuine.  Brees never connected.

Brees' football knowledge is top notch. I don't think anyone doubts that.

But to be a TV guy you need charisma too.

He was kinda lacking on that front.

NGL, I was surprised by that aspect because when you saw him command the huddle and pregame speeches in NO, he had tons of charisma and a surprising amount of bravado.  I know that doesn't translate necessarily, but he was so flat on TV, it was a huge contrast.  It's definitely a different world, which is why they shouldn't be handing these jobs out without a proven amount of time and experience in doing it.  

Greg had been doing the spots for NFLN and Fox before he was even retired and even the longtime TV guys were going on about how good he is, and yet, Mr. Toupee here and Brady are raking in huge deals and displacing guys despite having no experience with it.  Imagine how Rodney Harrison (F him, by the way) feels.  He got ousted out of the studio for THAT, and now they fire him after one year.😂

    • Ehlers needs to sit. Definitely can't lose him to a meaningless game.
    • Bet didn't hit because the referee missed 3 clear corner kicks. I had a 5k parlay that would have been alive tomorrow if he didn't miss those calls as well. Super annoying 
    • I don't think it's at all a given that we have players who are good at driving the basket. I guess that depends on your definition. Bridges is 43rd in attempts in the paint Miller is 64th and LaMelo is 66th. We all love to see the lob threat but it's largely miniscule at this point in time. There's gotta be a solution here if LaMelo is to be the centerpiece because this is simply not sustainable if we want to continue to ascend. If he can't drive to the basket then that means we need to add another player to the core who consistently can. That would require moving someone like Miles Bridges. And that's certainly not going to be popular with LaMelo but something has to give here for what we are investing and we need to maximize guys like Miller and Knueppel on rookie deals while we still can. The three chucking is fine when it's working where the issue comes into play is there are no adjustments when it isn't and we just go into a shell and begin to look like the Hornets of yesteryear. That's why the offensive evolution of all involved is critical to us taking the next step. Getting to the play in is nice but we should have our sights set much higher. Right now though they need to take care of business against the Heat. All I ask is that they at least beat those fools. I cannot stand the Heat.
