cmon there is way worse out there, brent is alright.Comment -
Musberger is awful but Kornheiser is worse.Comment -
Musburger had Oklahoma State last night so yeah.Comment -
I love Brent because he is a bettorComment -
brent is a living legend,everyday player alsoComment -
I like Brent. But, I fully agree about the interview thing. It has gotten out of hand with the espn/abc games, both college and pro. They treat the game as secondary during these too frequent , too long interviews. They even do it by phone. It takes away from the game and shows a blatant disrespect for the teams and the viewers.
Last week, I noticed for the first time that for MNF they told us at the start who the 2 (not 1 , but 2) interviewees would be, indicating to me that this annoyance has become an integral part of the production. It's been going on for years, but I think it's worse than ever this year.
Why am I writing all this here? I should be sending this to espn/abc. Maybe if they heard from enough who hate it......Comment -
First of all you're retarded to assumed that he is... He has been doing this sh*t for decades and yeah the networks let a retard work for years in the booth...
WHATEVER!!!
Why does everyone act like this is something Brent decided to do... Don't you people even think for a second that he has producers and directors to engineer this..???
It's like the meatheads (my old HS coach) that blamed T.O. for the MNF thing a few years ago with the "Desperate Housewives" b*tch... He didn't have sh*t to do with planning it out... They did that for the same reason they are doing these extra's during the game.. They are trying to expand their audience...
I don't like all these interviews and bullsh*t either but I know the announcers have nothing to do with it...

if you're complaining about the announcer you are probably trying to vent your anger about your losing bet. leave brent alone and make better picks.Comment -
Well, speaking of annoying announcers, am I the only one who finds Paul Maguire to be beyond irritating?.....I just don't know what it is with that guy. When I hear his voice, or when he goes into his analysis, I just cringe.
Maybe it's because he reminds of the "Quaker Oats" guy, Wiford Brimley. If that guy had told me "It's the right thing to do" one more time, I would have been up the water tower with a high powered sniper rifle.....Comment -
sorry, but pound for pound Musberger is the best sports broadcaster there is out there. Very solid, great voice, knowledgable, personalable, sports bettor, etc....Comment -
I think there's a lot worse than Musberger out there... Dan Dierdork comes to mind! And every word out of Kornheiser's mouth has absolutely nothing to do with the game being played. I try to synch sirius radio broadcast with the Monday night game, so I don't have to listen to Korny's drama/soap opera crap he spews out all game long. Musberger's ok in my book, especially compared to these other losers.Comment -
I don't know why Brent always has to find some stupid sidebar in the game. The worst ever was ND vs Ohio st in the bowl game, when andy Katzenmoyer's was dating Brady quinns sister. He kept saying it over and over. "He maybe sacking his future brother in law". I had to turn the sound off after a while.Comment -
Brent Musberger, Tim McCarver, Gary Thorne and Dave O'Brien all get the MUTE treatment from me. It's not entrely their fault all the time as the networks -- most notably FOX -- tend to turn any sporting event into a three-hour commercial. But when I hear those four voices, the MUTE goes on or the TV goes off.Comment -
Obviously, this is a personal preference type thing...
Brent's been doing this a long time. I grew up listening to Brent back when he was doing CBS with Jimmy the Greek, Irv Cross, Phillis George.
There are people I like a LOT less than I like Brent.

First of all... it was AJ Hawk.. I don't know if you knew that and said Andy Katz. on purpose but it was Hawk who was dating Quinn's sister..
This is another good example of my point but "Rollins" thinks Brent is the producer and commentator... Why don't you people get it... they do what they are told... When they had Quinn's sister on the sideline being interviewed Brent didn't arrange it... When the camera's keep showing her in the crowd Brent is not cueing them to do so... That is not his job... His job is to play off of them showing her in the crowd or on the sidelines or don't you people get it!!!???
Hey DOC I like that quote.. That is certainly from back in the days of "THE NFL TODAY"... The guy I kicked and coached for has 3 years of the NFL TODAY on tape... He brought them over last year and it was really neat to watch with all the commercials too...

Sorry I got the hawk- Katz thing wrong. That wasn't really the point anyway.First of all... it was AJ Hawk.. I don't know if you knew that and said Andy Katz. on purpose but it was Hawk who was dating Quinn's sister..

"WHERE'S THE BEEF???"
Plenty of times I'll see the camera keep going to the head coach or a parent of a player. The announcer doesn't make an annoying reference to it every single time like Brent does.
Also when Brent made his comment "he may have just sacked his future brother in law" the camera was on the play. He came up with that great one himself.Comment -
I hate Musberger, but what else is out there.Comment -
IMHO, the worst guy out there now is Gus Johnson of CBS. This guy yells on virtually every play, no matter if it's a 80 yard TD pass or a 2 yard gain. He may be even worse on basketball, if that's possible.Comment -
AGAIN ROLLINS' they have directors and producers... I don't know how you look at it ROLLINS' but FOR ME ANYWAY what makes sense is if the network is going to go through all this sh*t with hyping up Hawks sister and Quinn they are going to ask Brent to ride it... I get the feeling ROLLINS thinks it was all Brents idea and the networks are playing along instead of the other way around... His job to the networks is to follow the "theme"... END OF STORY!!!

How come its only Musberger games that have these stupid storylines repeated over and over? Is he the only one the producers come up with them for? Maybe they just want to make him look like an idiot.
Plus he's a play by play guy - not an analyst.Comment -
If you think it's only Brent then you're TV is on mute except when Brent does games... Brent is ABC's #1 guy so he does the prime time games where most of the public is tuned in so yeah I would say the producers may have Brent set up to do just that...
It's the same with MNF... ABC is trying to expand it's market and they know you are going to watch even if Rosanne does the play by play... They don't care about you because they already have you... ABC's idea is pretty good... I don't like KornHole but he plays the "I am an idiot about football so explain it to me like I am 2 years old" role very well.. Well that is the majority of the public and he is there for them to relate to..
Most have not played a down of competative football and don't understand the x's and o's...
I would even say MOST OF YOU don't know the differance between a trap and a dive...much less things like stemming on defense.. They have gotten better with explaining certain things.. I would say most of you know the differances in coverages like cover 1 and cover 3...as well as things like a screen... Most of the public didn't know about these 20 years ago...

Brent would stick to announcing the game he's fine. i dont knock his talents in that department. I do notice the side bar crap more with his games. As far as u calling me a retard based on my opinion thats fine. I really don't give a rats ass about yours either Shammy.Comment -
Lighten up. Brent is one of the few announcers with a real personality and a genuine sense of humor - perfect for prime time games.
John Madden is the worst. Period. End of story. A complete buffoon who hardly ever has anything worthwhile to say. That guy on Fox's impression of him is funny, but it's a little redundant, since Madden is already a parody of himself.Comment -
Is Dan Fouts still broadcasting? I don't see him on TV anymore....
My favorite line in The Waterboy:
Fouts: Shut up Brent.Comment
