You got it CC.
Dan gives great football insights without the stupid hyped bullshit.
How in the F Buck and Aikman got to be the #1 team is beyond me.
Joe of course used his father's great name to get into the business. He had a lot more media contacts when he was still shitting his diapers than everybody on this board put together.
But how they got to be the number one team, I dunno. Maybe, I think, insight and information is just not valued.

I remember a game Fouts did back on MNF. There was a play where a big blitz was picked up and the QB threw a crossing route pass that went for huge yards. Immediately after the play, he said he wanted to show the OL because they made the play. He had the film come up from the OL and showed how the RB picked up the blitzing LB and the OL handled the rush (there were some stunts) and everyone just did their job. He acknowledged the proper read by the QB and great run after the catch but said that the whole play was because of the pass protection and did 90% of his analysis from that. THAT was brilliant. Didn't do the whole Gruden over the top hype crap about a "brilliant QB" or "phenominal WR" who are "at the top of their game". He simply just analyzed.

Great example, CheeseCraig.
Fouts analyzes, Gruden analizes.

[QUOTE=George Cumby] ...every draft (Ted) would pick a solid, dependable, smart, athletically limited linebacker...the guy who isn't doing drugs, going to strip bars, knocking around his girlfriend or making any plays of game changing significance.
Rodgers has quick feet and a quick release, just like Steph Curry. That is classic Gruden analysis.
They did too much with this. But there is a common thread between the two. Both of these guys may have the quickest release EVER at their respective positions. It wasn't worth a booth segment, but replays were fair game.
If this was the only inanity, I wouldn't object.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
If only it was.
Fouts called the Instant Replay game (Majkowski to Sharpe), and got the call right before anyone else.
