i totaly disagree with you, i think theisman does a fantastic job as an anouncer.

i wish abc would take the nfl games away from fox. i absolutely can't stand fox announcers.

I like the Duo of Theismann and McQuire. I like the way they interact with one another. And sometimes they even have two very different opinions.

Wolfeskins I too can't stand the Fox announcers.

I can't stand the fifth tier announcers on any network. Unfortunately, that's who covers the Redskins, by and large. If Don Criqui and Tim Green are calling the game, I'm definitely listening to Sam, Sonny, and old what's-his-name.

I've heard that NBC is expected to select between Marv Albert or Bob Costas, with Albert having the slight advantage. But this was several months ago so that may have changed

I can't believe you people don't think Brian Baldinger isn't the top announcer in all of football.....both him and Bill Maas should be elevated up to the top! LOL!!!!

I personally was hoping Madden would retire because he's more annoying than anything else now a days and is a shell of his former broadcasting self. The only time I watch Monday night football anymore is for a skins game cuz I can't stand to listen to Madden blather on for more than a short period of time. It also still feels weird that NBC is gonna have football other than arena football and notre dame. and this may be a dumb question but I just can't remember, is CBS still gonna have pro football coverage? cuz I think they have the best duo right now in Phil Simms and Gumbell, which I think they r changing by putting simms in the studio and Phil nance or whatever his name is in the booth, but I cn't really remember.

cbs and fox will still carry the sunday games, nbc will now have the sunday night games and espn will have the monday night games.


i think.

I heard the leading candidates for NBC's play by play announcers
are Bob Costas and Marv "Bit Me" Albert...........

[skinsguy]

I just hope that the NFL NEVER decides to turn to pay per view for their games....especially playoff games and the Super Bowl. I believe there is just some enterainment that needs to remain virtually free for us to watch on tv.

On the Around the League segment Adam Schaefer indicated that NBC is interested in talking to Michaels about the 2006 Sunday Night Football job

Al Michaels is one of the top football commentators in my opinion. I always loved hearing Pat Summerall and John Madden though. Summerall just seemed to have this warmth to his voice that doesn't get on your nerves like Maas or Baldinger.

I'll admit that Madden isn't the same John Madden - but the guy is getting pretty old!
