You see when Torry Holt was a little boy, only 6 years old..


Awesomeness!!

Recommended Posts

He made Emmitt Smith sound competent. He was brutal. Here's a selection of tweets about him as compiled today from awfulannouncing.com: RSecaur I thought Matt Millen and Joe Theisman were bad announcers, then I heard Torry Holt.

C_N_Graham Torry Holt is a terrible announcer. Jimmy Clausen is a terrible quarterback.

TerrelliC Torry Holt never finishes his...

CardboardGerald Torry Holt: "This is the production.........." (stops talking mid-sentence)

BryanDRoth At some point, someone from @NFLonFox should tell Torry Holt it's pronounced "Smith" and not "Smif."

dawg317 Torry Holt should never call another game again. He was beyond horrible.

PHXmusicdotcom Torry Holt should not be providing commentary to professional football games.

jonmanuzak The Browns Panthers game is painful enough without having to listen to Torry Holt calling the.... uh... uhh... game. #fb

jameeleighty81 Please let me not have to watch another game the rest of my life with Torry Holt doing the commentating

stevesirk Deep thoughts from Torry Holt: "John Fox is a man's man as a coach. He physically challenges you as a man."

bernvendlinski Torry Holt has to be the worst commentator I've ever heard. Absolutely brutal

ski888 Dear Torry Holt, Think about the word, and then say the word!

KristeneVI This must be Torry Holt's first game. He is a mess. Can't finish sentences/thoughts. Sounds like he is talking to his friends. SMH

dang_randell Torry Holt should be covering the St. Louis game... at least there ppl will look past his idiotic statements

billgluvna Pretty obvious that Chris Rose and Torry Holt met about 5 minutes before kickoff today. What an awkward broadcast pairing. #Panthers #Browns

hatethesteelers thanks fox for this great announcing duo. i know chris rose is from cleveland but magic johnson thinks torry holt is a terrible announcer.

_BW Listening to Torry Holt call todays game was like watching Jake Delhomme quarterback a game. Pain. #fox, you got some explainin' to do.

somalley86 Jake Delhomme didn't want Torry Holt to be the only trainwreck at this game. #browns #nfl #fox

ScottAHReed Good lord, we need legislation that preventsTorry Holt from ever setting foot in a broadcast booth ever again. #nfl

JStamper09 Who at FOX Sports thought Torry Holt would make a good announcer? Jesus he's almost worse than Buck.

dat_man_trav Torry holt ur commentary SUCKS!!! U are the reggie miller of nfl commentary

CatCraveRadio Torry Holt missed announcing the day they taught announcing at Announcing School. #Panthers #Browns

ryanfriedl torry holt could very well be the worst color commentator ive ever seen

APWillGraves I keep waiting for Torry Holt to say "Boom goes the dynamite."

    • Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist
    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
