I think both Aikman and Simms are great

I'll have to say when he first came out I did not like the fact that he would seat in the booth and say what play the skins were going to run. If I'm correct that lasted one or so games and he was not allowed to do any games of the skins for some time. I grew to like him as he did a good job of explaining the games through the eyes of the QB. I really don't pay much attention to any announcers and the only time I really got ticked was our game this years against the Eagles when they forgot tha they were announcing a football game.

I'm sure when they signed Kornheiser on, they didn't want to Washington homer's in the booth...and you could kinda see Jaws soaring up the ladder on ESPN...and I actually like him in the booth. I grew up as a kid with Joe as my hero for the Skins and always liked having him do the Sunday night games...and now other than Al and John, the whole new Sunday night thing on NBC sucks!!!!

Times change. People move on. Shizzle happens. It's nothing jaw dropping, really.

I think Joe would be a good fit at NFL Network.

The Zimmermans · 10-01-2007, 05:45 PM

at least this was legitimate....as opposed to michael irvin's crack pipe firing

Monksdown · 10-01-2007, 05:49 PM

Knowing how convoluted Joe's image is of himself, Im sure he doesnt even know yet. Denial Denial Denial. I liked him with a helmet on when I didnt have to hear him lick his own balls.

He's condescending in his delivery.

Unfortunately, of all of the former Redskins who have now turned to commentary, I cannot think of a single one that I enjoy listening to.

You don't like Mark May?

So was it Joe's idea or ESPN's?
I'd still like to know...please PM if you know anything.
It just doesn't make any sense to me.

May is more College football than anything, and he does a great job with it!

Don't take this personally, but you really don't need to know. It's nothing scandalous, just a matter of people not seeing eye to eye

He's a great Redskin, but IMO a very average analyst. As far as on the spot film breakdown and analysis, he can't hold a candle to Jaworski.

I don't take it personally, I know I don't need to know, I want to know. If you really can't say anything, then you should say stuff like this:
I know...but I can't tell you

Don't even bother telling us you know if you're not willing to share. Some of us would really like to know.
