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.

      I'm gonna be a grandpa!  My 2 year old son sat on my lap Panther's inaugural season in Clemson.  Die hard fans ever since.  Now he's going to be a daddy and sharing the fan tradition with a custom made shirt.  Check out the little fella in the sonogram (look closely).

      Top 5 draft targets for positions of need

      By Basbear · Posted

      Watch out now...... I agree but many others disagree with this line of thinking.  I seen a recent summary too- Which would you rather have the best safety or the 8th best edge? Best safety maybe kyle hamilton, the 8th best edge is Maxx Crosby. Id take maxx even with Myles or TJ on the roster. Plus if you don't like Maxx as 8th best, Id take whoever the 8th best edge is over the Kyle.  Panthers need a starter level edge, the only realistic shot is using the 1st rounder. But if somehow a stud LT pulls out a gas mask and falls to 19, draft them if much higher ranked.  The funny deal is those teams drafting in the late portion of drafts don't need edge, QB, WR, or OT..... I wonder why?!??? hmmmmmmm.... plus it pays off for them, cause they do need OG, ILB, TE, safety..... and now they get a top level player to remain great....

      A pretty insane QB stat

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      Wrong conclusion. FOs should look at this and say “What can I do to better set up my top pick to succeed?” Not say welp I guess I just shouldn’t draft the most talented player at the most important position. It’s like saying the Cavaliers shouldn’t have drafted Lebron because they did a poor job building around him and he didn’t start winning championships until he left. It’s silly. Should teams also look and say “wow look at all these super bowls won by QBs drafted in the 5th round, guess that’s the best round to draft a QB.” Nonsense.
