Tirico and Jaws together have everything you need from an announcing team. Tirico is a great play by play guy and Jaws has a ton of football knowledge. Disney is just trying to bring in non-football fans with someone else. Its a terrible idea – almost as bad as having Christian Slater spend almost a full quarter in the booth last year.

Up until I started attending blogkakes, I had the tv on mute anyway. This can only lead to more hilarity.
But seriously, is there not one defensive-minded person they could have gotten?

I think Jaws is all right. Gumble’s wooden delivery surely did its part in hurting the NFLN games, but they didn’t lead me to believe Collinsworth could carry a broadcast either.

Collinsworth is crap…he does act at times like his shit doesn’t stink & that he was actually talented

Bryant Gumble had more than a small part in the suckiness of the NFL Network broadcasts. I think Collinsworth does a good job pointing out what we should be looking at that made a play work or not work. Then again, I also think Jaws is great, and appear to be in the minority there, too.

See, I don’t get all the fulsome praise for Collinsworth. I don’t think he’s any more insightful than any of the other talking heads, and he’s a simpering, nasally douche to boot.

Plus, he was horrible on the NFL Network broadcasts, so I don’t think you can pin it on the other NBC studio idiots (sorry Bus).

I still don’t get the Collinsworth hate. Sure he carries himself a bit smug, but at least he’s not one of these cliche-spewing empty heads that are normally in the booth.

I think he got lumped in with all the asshats on NBC’s studio show, which is unfortunate. Sunday Night Football will be exponentially better with his replacement of Madden.

I’m convinced whoever is running MNF hates football

Why all the hate? Gruden can actually be damn funny. And having a guy in the booth who has actually been inside the game as recently as the past season is awesome. He actually knows shit, as opposed to Jaws who’s been out of the game for 20 fucking years.

TK was an abomination. I get it, you like show tunes and it’s past your bedtime and you don’t know shit about football. Genius. GTFO.

My thoughts as of just a second ago:

1. Ape, you’re very hard on an ex-colleague.
B. Thank you Lord.
3a. After 20 minutes, Jaws wears on me.
D. Gruden might be good, but it’ll be more fun if he blows.
