Why are commentators so chicken shit to correct partners in the booth

[Br0nxer]

Fukkin idiot in the wake-miss st game spends 3 minutes telling us that they didn't pick up the first down on the fake punt but meanwhile ref signals first down and chicken shit partner in booth says nothing.

its really annoying. its a disservice to the viewer

[Ace_of_Spades]

Its all about not embarrassing the other guy. Kinda gay.

[Deuce]

Hey Bronxer, shove a pine cone up your fukkin ass, kid.

[Br0nxer]

does the dikkhead who is trying to give us incorrect info think we can't see the ref signaling first down

he sees him do it. but he is embarrassed to correct himself because god forbid he could ever be wrong.

it might seem petty but its annoying

[samgurt]

pretty sure they have producers telling them they were wrong in their earpiece

The viewers don't though.

[Bluehorseshoe]

These announcers are realllllyyy bad. That whole last 5 minutes was nothing but gibberish.

[Bluehorseshoe]

That was an easy face mask call and the announcers couldn't figure it out.

It is like on the No Huddle show on the NFL Network. A few weeks back Theisman calls Dan O'Lovsky, Dan O'Slausky & no one corrects him & they nod in agreement.

[raydog]

makes the other mouthpiece look better... there are really only a handful of guys with a clue that i can tolerate anymore.

[Romanov]

dont wanna call out a partner because they don't want to be called out for their mistakes. they are human you know

[Chi_archie]

very rarely listen to any actual games on tv, mute or very very low except for confusing or crucial situations

I'm 90% sure Theismann stopped paying attention to the NFL shortly after being kicked out of the booth on Monday Night Foots.

Of course they are human

Thats not the point

When they fukk up just admit it. Correct the fukk up and move on. No need for the other guy in the booth to sit there like a fukkin retart and play along. Its gay

[Chi_archie]

retarts ARE gay, no doubt

[Bluehorseshoe]

How retarded was that just now? It bounced over the cross bar???

[thetrinity]

cunningham is the worst guy espn has by far, cant believe hes still there.

[will2survive]

never step on a co-workers toes in a high level position like this. Person's reputation is at stake
