Even if you have $ on MNF

...don't you just feel like not watching the game, turning on a movie/reading a magazine just not to listen to Madden and watch two pathetically boring teams play football?

i hate brett favre, and refuse to watch primetime games such as this where the announcers will do nothing but give him hand release all night!

I can't wait to hear about how Samkon Gado wants to be a doctor and how Michaels and Madden find him to be a "fine young man" who "speaks so well" or what ever other condescending bs the primetime crews frequently pull.

No. It's football. It is the ONLY thing I turn my television on for(seriously). Read 2+2, play some cards, tune out the two fools announcing and watch the replays when something happens.

I've gone 40 mins w/o turning it on, want to see how much longer I can go.

turned it on for 5 mins and watched Heap score. GB +3 +110, over 33.5, I'm done for the night.

I like Madden. He's not what he used to be but he's better than most.

Who is the guy who does the NFC South games (did the Carolina game this week)? I CANNOT listen to him.

[dankhank]

so who do people think is the best football announcer at the moment?

my pick would be daryl johnston

I need to check out the full list of crews. I know who I don't like (lots of them) there are really only a few who I do like.

[McGahee]

That and I prefer not to stab myself in the eyes watching Heap have his only good game of the year after my fantasy season is over.

[jedinite]

Kevin Harlan is the only announcer I'm happy to listen to (the only announcer to which I go "good, we've got a good announcer").

I'd pay DirecTV an extra $50 (and probably even $100) a season for a high-def feed of the games featuring a "on the field" sound feed - nothing but the sound of the game, the crowd noise, etc. You'd clearly be able to hear the stadium announcer, but wouldn't need a direct feed to him or anything - just the usual booming echo you hear if you're sitting in the stadium.

the sunday night espn crew are a million times worse than madden

this game got slightly more interesting when including live drive by drive betting, but not by much. Highlight was betting $80 each time to win $20 on Aaron Rodgers not to lead the team to a score on each drive /images/graemlins/smile.gif

totally agree, was only addressing the game at hand

can anyone be worse than the guys calling the Broncos/Bills sat. night game?? it was Sterling Sharpe... and someone else who I hope to never hear.

[bills217]

Mike Tirico I think...those guys are horrible.

I actually like the Sunday Night and Monday Night crews, not because they're good, but for the comic relief. I prefer that to some anonymous CBS crew that puts you to sleep.
