Madden overused his boom and bang too much for my liking after a while. I found it annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TecmoSuperJoe Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Seems like a lot of young viewers now would have hated Pat Summerall. That's a shame. He was as dry as it gets, but I liked him. I'm definitely in the minority, but I like more reserved commentary a lot of the time. You watch a lot of old games, announcers did get excited, but now some guys overdo it a tad.

ET80 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Adam Archuleta is on the F team at CBS, and is usually doing Texans games with Spiro Dedes - he doesn't even bother getting the names right. If I had a buck for every time he's mentioned DeAndre Watkins or Deshaun Hopkins, I'd have enough for a case of beer. It's so annoying - I mean, even the slightest effort avoids these mistakes.

brooks1957 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I enjoy Gus Johnson and Joel Klatt for CFB. That's it. The list of TV announcers that annoy me is long and distinguished. Most of the ESPN crews make me go into barf mode - but a special shout out goes to Herbie. I wonder if he gets paid by the spoken word. Gheez, talk about diarrhea of the mouth - STFU already. More often than not - I will mute the TV and turn the radio announcers on. Life long Browns and Buckeyes fan. Jimmy Donovan and Doug Dieken put quite a charge into their broadcasts, but they are far from Browns homers. They are quick to point out the teams faults - while acknowledging the good play of opponents. Paul Keels and Jim Lachey have the same kind of presentation in Columbus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Non-Issue Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Madden, towards the end, was terrible. The worst. He would draw you a diagram of the route the QB took to grab a seat on the sideline if the producers gave him time to. I loved the guy. He was an NFL icon in the day. But towards the end it was like, "Jesus, John. Isn't there a beach chair and a Mai Thai waiting for you somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed - I think he shifted from "football mind" to "entertainer" following the success of the video games named after him. He was all over the place, very similar to the final years of Chris Berman at ESPN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kip Smithers Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 It don’t matter tbh. However bad the commentary appears, y’all will still watch. You could honestly put two actual chimps in the booth and it wouldn’t affect viewership lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
