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.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By jb2288 · Posted

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.

      Kinda depends how you look at it both were 3rd round draft pics.  Nico was nothing before stroud and tank came in with stroud.  If both were on the panthers would young have them doing well and starting or would their stats be low.  I really dont know the answer to that.  None of the panthers wrs have left and did well either but personally i feel neither of nico or tank would do much on the panthers.
