Opinions on Albert, Johnston, & Siragusa???

[#56fanatic]

Albert does look a little "down". But I actually like Siragusa and Johnston. Siragusa would be funny in the booth, though dont you think? He would add a little life to crew.

i agree i HATE bill maas so much. HATE. i usually turn on the radio too but sometimes when the call isn't on im forced to suffer through that jokers crap. collinsworth blows as well. second worse.

I don't care anymore, the media who dis us, we don't need them to tell us what we already know. the skins are back and getting better. what needs to happen is that we get it and we come to terms with it.looking to others for approval is a losing
proposition. your alwasy 1 play or loss from being something bad. we have sufferd the last 10 years.but we are now out of the tunnel.and picking up speed. we have one thing on our minds. the lombardi trophy, when we hoist that again everyone who has run their mouth can eat it.i like this team and we will only get better.

Maybe I am a homer, but I am actually looking forward to Thiesman being in the booth with Al Michaels next year. Madden is starting to wear on me a little bit. I feel like Thiesman is honest in his opinions and more insightful.

I didn't think I would like Simms, but he and Gumbell were an awesome pairing for commentary.

Who would win in a sumo match?

Siragusa or Pasquerelli?

that's an extremely disturbing mental image. thanks for the nightmares TMC.

[TheMalcolmConnection]

You guys ever see Drawn Together?

Pasquerelli would win. He'd eat Siragusa like Toot eats people in Drawn Together.

I know this is completely random, but I'm watching TV as I write this and the "Fitness Made Simple" commercial pisses me off more than ANYTHING.

I mean damn, all that guy shows you how to do is stand sideways and put your hand on your dong piece and have 80s hair.

Luckily I don't have to listen to these clowns. I live in St. Louis and I
have to go to a sports bar each week to watch the game. So I'm usually watching the game without sound. Looks like I'm not missing much.

Are there any fans in the St. Louis area? If so, drop by Ozzie's at Westport Plaza on Sundays.

i actually think moose is ok except sometimes he does go on and on.the one thing that irks me about the crew as a whole is it seems that they dont do their homework,always sounding like a fountain of mis information.the goose is what he is,a big fat guy trying to add some humor

[crlesh]

Yeah... I don't mind Moose either. I think Aikman is a bit better than Moose but somehow, I like them both fine as color guys. The guy I absolutely cannot stand is Paul McGuire. And it's not even his stupid little catch phrases... it's that he's always wrong... always. And then they show how wrong he is on instant replay and he laughs. Arggg. I just imagine Theismann up in the booth trying to hold back his anger as McGuire drives knowledgeable football fans away from their broadcast in droves.

You aren't alone - I found some pretty funny commentary out there on the guy. I'm assuming he's never googled himself:

Richard Deitsch at SI.com writes about who he'd like to see in the studios and booths for the upcoming Monday Night Football on ESPN, and Sunday Night Football on NBC. I was with him for a while. And then he dropped this in the last paragraph:

"(Paul McGuire) is an underrated gem, and has been great since his NBC days."He's an underrated gem, and has been great since his NBC days.

I guess richard Deitsch hates insight and intelligent football analysis. I guess Richard Deitsch really likes "What this, folks... WHAM! Boy, that's great stuff." I guess Richard Deitsch likes football observations that any 11-year-old could make. I just can't believe there's a Paul McGuire fan out there. That there is one Paul McGuire fan out there shocks me more than the fact that 50,000,000 people voted for George W. Bush.

"Is it just me, or does McGuire always seem like he's in a race against time when he talks? There's never less than four incomplete thoughts preceding a complete sentence. A look at an instant replay will go something like, "I'm a tell ya wha- here on the inst- look at Tom Bra- If he throws that ba- Bill Belichick's gotta be- yeah, they gotta reverse that call."

And, my personal favorite:

As for McGuire, if I hear him say "Folks, I want you to watch what happens right here", one more time, I'm gonna stick a butter knife in my thigh

The Sports Guy (Bill Simmons) on ESPN's Page 2 has a hate/hate relationship with McGuire as well. He often says that because ESPN signs his checks he can't say what he really thinks, but he still manages to rip him every time his name comes up.

Johnston I don't mind but Siragusa is too damn much to take, Alberts, guess guilt by association with Siragusa. We should get a good broadcast team for the Skins Gints game though, since it has to be the premier NFC game this week. Overall though Fox sucks...even CBS's scrubs are better than 90% of the Fox team. Since we have gone throwback with Gibbs and Parcells why can't we go back to the good ole days of just NBC and CBS, especially CBS with the tight gold blazers...not to mention how the broadcast companies had biggers stones back then since Jimmy 'The Greek' was basically talking all about the point spread...wonder why....
