Thread: Sure, Blame Grandma for the Broadcasts Chris

    Sure, Blame Grandma for the Broadcasts Chris

    “We gear our broadcast toward Grandma,” said Collinsworth, whose “Sunday Night Football” games typically draw football’s largest audience. “If Grandma is on the couch watching, we don’t want her to leave. We want to be as inclusive as possible.”
    Actually, it was kind of Collingworth to provide that quote for the story as it describes exactly why all NFL broadcasts can be so bland.

    The story is actually about Romo, but almost everything you need is in that quote.

    The quotes from fans are hysterical. And correct.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    Shut up Brent!

    “Listen, Tony, O.K.,” Musburger said recently on his radio show. “Tony, get off it, O.K. First of all, you’re intruding on your play-by-play man Jim Nantz. We like to watch the game, O.K.? Here’s a memo to all of you people, ‘Oh, this is great.’ Nuh-uh.”

    Musburger can suck it. The game has passed him by. He does the same shtick week in and week out for the last 30 years. He's predictable and boring.
    All hail the Ruler of the Meadow!

    Chris hasn't met my 4'10" italian grandma...She swears more at "her packers" than anything else in life. I am scared to watch packer games with my grandma.

    Excuse me Brent Musburger but Tony Romo is like the Top Professor of 'the Media and all things NFL Football'.

    Tony Romo will hopefully revolutionize 'REAL Color' and Pro Sports Media and Broadcasting.

    Yup, I was at my wife's 85 year old aunt's house for a Packers/Bears game and ARod threw an INT. While the Bear player was returning the ball she screamed, "Break his fucking leg."

    I looked at my wife and said there is nothing I can do during a Packer game that will compare to that.

    I still give her aunt crap about that every time we meet.
    But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

    A lot of these guys need to retire, that's what's wrong with football now. Just give us an unbiased knowledgeable guy who isn't boring (romo)

    Forget the old lady shit, and the comedy shit that fox tries to do. Get rid of the idiots like Heiden who love everything about everyone

    My fear is that Brent knows more than he is letting on here (or that the choice of quotes let on).

    Broadcasters have neutralized new guys since the beginning of time. Broadcast TV depends on it because it wants the marginal viewer, it knows the die hards are already here listening to the radio broadcast.

    So I bet they try to restrain him. And soon. I doubt it survives next year. Though he does have some pull, they put him on the #1 group for a reason.

    We do live in 'the Upside Down Times'; when good is not perceived as really good and bad is really misconceived as good.

    It's backwards Blind Madness ... NUTS !

    I would certainly enjoy performing this Webb search repeatedly and with great enthusiasm.
