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

Just like the best players don't always make the best coaches, the same is true for announcing.  It's a completely different skill set.  Tom is probably too bland to be good at it.  And nobody will tune in just to hear his voice on commentary.  You tune into a game to watch the game, and you are at the mercy of whoever is assigned to calling it.

Speaking of Fox Sports NFL Desk, it is time for Terry Bradshaw to be put out to pasture.  His question and answer session on the Super Bowl post game podium was next to useless if not cringe worthy.

Not to mention inappropriate...telling Reid to "waddle over". What a huge disrespect to one of the all time best NFL coaches.  Fox should have fired him and left him in AZ....in the middle of the desert.

I rarely watch CBS-aired games, but was Romo really that bad? He used to be really good at analysis and got that big contract as a result. What happened??

Romo has gotten lazy.  Does not prepare...seems to be winging it

Fox needs to overhaul their whole desk.  Two players that havent played in 30+ years and another who would rather be on a daytime talk show.  A coach who hasnt coached in this century.  Its all just a little too "grandpa's football show" for my tastes.  Add in the absolute cringe attempts at humor and the in your face gambling and its all just too much and way out of step.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
