Fox’s Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olsen More Than Lived Up to the Big Moment in Super Bowl LVII (SI)

 The Chiefs won the Super Bowl, but nobody had a better NFL postseason than Fox’s top broadcast team of Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olsen.

In their first season as Fox’s “A” crew, replacing Joe Buck and Troy Aikman, who both left for ESPN last year, Burkhardt and Olsen flew under the radar for most of the regular season. But with stand-alone games and monster viewership in the postseason, many fans took notice of how well the duo work together, with Olsen especially emerging as a fan favorite for his calm manner and smart analysis.

There’s no spotlight, however, like the Super Bowl spotlight. And Burkhardt and Olsen showed that they were more than ready for it.

Olsen has risen rapidly as a star in the booth.  Fox would be foolish to replace him for Brady but I guess there is a contract.  Olsen has one more year before Brady comes aboard. Hoping for Greg's sake, Brady asks to have another role.  Booting Greg out would be a foolish move on his part.  Greg would be a very tough act to follow.

I just don’t see Brady being that good. He’s really smart about the game, but he’s a bit of a slow talker.

Also, most casual female fans I know don’t care for him anymore after his un-retirement/divorce.

Maybe CBS will boot Romo and pickup Greg.

Sounds like CBS doesnt have an out on the Romo contract until 2024.... GO might have to take a show host role until something opens up.  ESPN is the only network that needs new talent and arent stuck with ridic contracts.

 

note: TB12 doesnt join Fox until 2024... so CBS could technically land GO in two years.

Noone wants to work for ESPN. They are a dieing network with dwindling viewers.  I have all their channels blocked out so I don't have to skip over them all the time. They've become irrelevant.

Spectacular they better keep this combo for a long time to come. Brady doesn’t strike me as being a booth guy. Are we sure the position is for a booth and not for the desk when one of the old farts retires for good? 

Yea...he is supposed to be working with Kevin as their #1 team.

Welp they should probably start thinking about knocking Brady down to number 2. 

He has a contract that says he will be on the #1 team...he would have to request a change, just like he did with delaying a year (so he could practice because I am sure he is intimidated by Greg).  Maybe he will decide that he wants to be on a desk instead of the booth.  Fox needs to revamp their desk for sure. It would be a smart move to try and  design some kind of attractive role for him.  I bet they are regretting that contract.

      Director of College scouting should be next. I'd like to see the organization go after Senior Bowl Director Jim Nagy who's a good friend of Dan Morgan back in their time in Seattle

      Off season talk.

      I always just go back to what I said at the time. Trade Burns to the Rams because it's a fantastic deal. I was screaming it. I'm still angry at Fitt over that. Right after he turned down the deal I said he needed to get into a time machine and go back and make the deal. Hate that dude. Ruined our team. Trading D.J was a major mistake because what matters most in the NFL is the passing game, so you never unload a proven #1 WR when there are other options. Always trade a defensive player over a WR if you have that option available. Fitt was precious about defensive players when we had a passing offense that didn't function. That's how know he was completely incompetent. The passing offense is the top priority, so until that is functioning all defensive players are possible trade fodder. At this point we're in a rebuilding year under a new GM and a QB who looks absolutely horrendous. It makes perfect sense, if you follow all of our moves, that we would be the worst team in the NFL. Of course we are. You can't screw up as a GM that many times over the years and not ruin the franchise. We're exactly where we should be, dead last, or bottom 3. Whichever you like. But this is the here and now. Dan did a good job getting our 2nd round pick back, and we won't know about the picks until they take the field in regular season games. We're in dark until then, but if they suck the Panthers media will hide it shamelessly. Remember when Young was supposed to be a football genius? Yeah he was rancid turds out there when live fire started. There is some hope. Either Young improves and we win more games, or he stays about the same and we draft a new QB in 2025. Either way the NFL will help us out of this jam, but all we need is for Dan not to screw it up.
