Idiot SB announcers thread

[Guiness]

Seen mentions of their idiocy in several threads, so I thought we could collect it all in here!

Here's one that I haven't seen mentioned elsewhere, but made me livid. Right after Mendenhall scored in the third quarter, one of the announcers said something to the effect of:

You can tell that Tomlin and Roethlisberger have been here before, they're relaxed and know how to get it done. McCarthy and Rodgers are too tense.

I don't have the exact quote, but am going to go find it.

Will there come a day when one set of Super Bowl viewers can get a video/audio that spotlights celebrities and their clothing, while another set can get instant replays showing all 22 players along with intelligent, game-focused commentary? I have no idea which set of viewers would want to watch Joe Buck and Troy Aikman other than their moms.

[Freak Out]

I thank the gods the bar was so loud I never heard a word those idiots said. FOX did a pretty lame job overall I thought.

He's an announcer somehwere, so I'll pu this here:


Tweet of the Week II

"At NFL-Xperience and Phil Simms just threatened 2 hit me b/c I said his son was 1 of the worse QBs in the SEC. I told him 'LET'S GO!' ''

--@desmond_howard, ESPN college football analyst Desmond Howard, who angered Simms last fall by calling his son, Tennessee quarterback Matt Simms, one of the three worst quarterbacks in the Southeastern Conference. In a later tweet, Howard said Simms "wanted 2 take a swing at me!!''

Simms, though, remembered the incident differently, telling SI.com's Richard Deitsch that "at no time was there ever a chance of a physical confrontation'' with Howard.

fixed - you didn't get the full quote

They completely got a false start call wrong when it was Jennings that moved early and they kept praising Harrison for moving around the line and causing confusion. It's like they weren't even watching the game.

Or the play where 73 of the Steelers held Jenkins and the dumbshit Aikman kept on thinking it was the Steeler who engaged with Matthews. Aikman even thought the refs said the wrong number!

Aikman has been doing that for as long as I have been watching him. He will make a statement and stick to it without correcting it even in the face of video replay that shows he is flatly wrong about who, what, where or when.

He was simply doing what sells jersys. Pimping the playmaker. Mathews is a playmaker, jenkins is not....it must have been mathews that was held.

Honestly, I was so wired into the game I don't remember a damn thing those guys said.

Good point. Too bad the Packer Radio Network doesn't let us pay per game to listen online.

Or do they somehow?

[Guiness]

Anyone else remember the statement I'm talking about in the OP?

Just re-listened to the 3rd Q, but couldn't find it.

I do remember what you are talking about. I'm trying to listen and find it now.

This can go in the stupid announcers thread, but also to all the morons that think Rodgers was "off" in the Super Bowl (Idiot Aikman made a stupid statement about 13:30 to go in the 4th quarter). Rodgers played insanely well the ENTIRE game. If not for the drops by our receivers, he EASILY has over 400 yards and 4 TD's, maybe 5. The game is a blowout and we're talking about one of, if not the, greatest Super Bowl performance by a QB and also postseason performance. Too many idiots think Rodgers was off. Did they even watch the damn game? Geez.

It's funny you say this Joe. I stayed at home and watched the game with two of my friends who are also big Packer fans and I was so wired and into the game I honestly couldn't tell you one thing the idiot announcers said or one thing about any of the commericals. The only thing that mattered or registered with me was the game and the play on the field.
