I don't know if anyone else noticed but how god awful were the announcers from the game? They couldn't pronounce names right, their stats weren't correct. Randy Cross even made a statement saying "If anyone tuned in to see a boring game this isn't the game for you." I mean are you kidding me these guys should not be announcing NFL games. Just wanted to see if anyone else noticed how bad they were.

Enberg is old but Cross is just an idiot sometimes. Enberg used to be one of the best but age eventually takes its toll.

Welcome aboard Skinsterps, Yeah these guys do not play off each other well. Enberg is a legend but it is about time for him to hang it up. Cross has always been bad about driving home an obvious point for whole quarters. I dont really care who announces our games as long as we win.

That isn't true, how about a couple of strippers?

It was truly nauseating. Worst part for me was their man-love for the Jags during the game.

I thought they did faily well. I know a few times Enberg got some names wrong, but I think they did OK. I think they were definately PRO SKINS through out the telecast. Cross was giving us credit for pushing the Jags around and kept saying how physical we were. I thought they did a decent job. I honostly was so into the game, they could have has pee wee herman and screech calling the game and it would have been ok.

At any point did either of them refer to Mark Brunell as Steve Brunell? I think it was the first game last year that some announcer kept doing that for some odd reason. It's been a running joke with me and my friend's ever since.

Here's another pitiful attempt to wax poetic and dramatize the Moss TD by les Carpenter of the post (see page 2 of the article)

Les Carpenter - Reading Between the Letters, Moss Finds the Answer for a Desperate Team - washingtonpost.com (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/10/01/AR2006100101161.html)

Was Mathis even in on that last play? I thought Moss caught the ball between Brian Williams and Deon Grant.

I believe that was Daryl "Moose" Johnston who referred to Brunell as "Scott Brunell"

I think he was saying Steve Brunell and Scott Springs in the same game. At least Scott was Shawn's dad's name (I think) so I suppose that one can pass.

They were not very good so I switched to Sonny, Frank, & Larry. Boy have Sonny & Frank gone downhill. I couldnt listen to them either so I just muted the whole thing.

I think the skins need a completely new radio play by play team.
