CBS Announcers

[RedMage138]

Can we all just agree that John Madden is the greatest NFL announcer to ever live and the best thing will be hearing his magical voice calling the game on Sunday night?

they we're ok, they needed to be a little more enthusiastic, they sounded like that D-will run was just ordinary, and they didn't even show a replay

I don't know you well enough, but I'm going to hope this is sarcasm.

I am 100% fine with unenthusiastic. It is refreshing after seeing so many announcers blow their load over a good form tackle. Of course they just have to go apeshit if that form tackle is by one of the big names they actually know.

I thought the ACC Championship was awesome, because the whole time Paul Maguire had no idea which players were the stars for VT and BC and therefore couldn't talk about how every head juke they performed was the second coming of Red Grange.

Yeah if you are serious that's more than a little faggish

If you call sucking on Cutlers ass the first half better then yea it was. IMO the best ones are Monday night just cause of Jaws the rest suck and Im starting to like Baldy he has got alot better in the past few years.

They all suck and talk entirely too much. If I hear someone call STEVE Smith Steven one more time I'm going to scream. And I don't think I've heard Kemo's name pronounced the same all season. These guys make a ton of money and should be better at speaking. Emmitt Smith is horrible too. I prefer Troy Aikman and Chris Simms (I know they aren't together). And don't get me started on Andrea Kremer...how the hell is she doing Sunday night football????

[mantal]

They were horrible. I know they cover AFC mostly, but come on! Too many foul ups on last names. And calling Smith "little man" was bad.

Who really gives a sh*t about whether the announcers say the names right Downtown Bully. Does it really matter?...

Yes it matters. They are announcers on tv for God's sake. Can they not bother to learn the correct pronunciation of a name? It's disrespectful to just butcher someone's name. Shows that you don't prepare for your job well.

Does it change the outcome of the game? That's the only thing I care about...

[Delhommey]

I could give a sh*t about the names. If they can get down and distance right (seems to be a bigger task that you'd think) and can stay relevant to the game, I'm generally happy.

Billick couldn't get our names right for anything, but I'll say he's one of the best we've had this year.

[panthergrrrl17]

No but if you are like me and you really only watch the Panthers most of the time and they butcher somebody's name you can't figure out who they are talking about. There have been times I've had to ask my husband who they are talking about and even he had a hard time figuring it out. I know some of those guys have weird names but if you are going to be paid to announce, take the time to learn their names.

If all you watch are Panther games, then you should know by their numbers what their names are, period.

Yeah It matters. If we have to accept all their damn commercials during a game the least they can do is learn how to pronounce the player's names.
