Horrible Announcing Part 3
watching this Bears/Packers game is making me absolutely sick. Not "Jim Hendry Offseason Sick", but pretty sick. The game is tied, but if you were just listening to these guys, you'd think that the Bears were spotted the first 7 points for no apparent reason.
A lot of you got on my about bitching about the announcing of Brenley, Buck and others. Some of you asked "What More do you want from an announcer"?
Here's my problem with most announcers these days. Keep in mind that I just think Brenley and Kasper suck and this commentary is merely about national announcers. It seems like any game I watch, the announcers have a pre-determined "thesis" for the game, or some idea/player that they MUST promote.
Last week it was Mike Vick. Sure, they talked about the bear's defense, but only in the 2nd half, and when they finally did get around to praising the Bears D, it was because they had Stopped Mike Vick. THAT is what made the Bear's D good. They built up Vick for a half, when Vick clearly was struggling, now all of a sudden, the Bear's defense was good because they were stopping Vick, thus still proving their theory of Vick's greatness.
This week, they're playing Farvre. Now, Bret Farvre is someone who can DO NO WRONG. He could sereiously CarJack a Bus Full of Nuns, and the announcers would say "He's getting in touch with his spiritual side". I cannot watch any more games with this guy playing. Not because I don't like him, but the entire Broadcasting community in this country has decided that tWahey should suck this guy's dick, and now also apparently all the officials in the league. I'm going back to this game. Oh, BTW, War Prior for Tejada and Zito. War Joe Buck going Mute. War Bears getting a home bye. War Lovie Smith coaching the Cubs.

Well said. I have been disgusted with the "Brett Favre Love Fest" that announcers have been engaged in this year. Favre throws and interception, "he's playing aggressively"; Favre throws and incompletion ten feet over his receiver's head, "he's forcing things to compensate for his lack of support". How many times this year have we heard "Is there any other player you'd rather have out there than Brett Favre?" My answer is , "No, not if I'm playing for a top 5 draft pick next year". There's no shame in retirement and accepting that the game has passed you by. I mean, Dan Fouts was pretty good in his day and age, but he'd get his ass kicked if he played now, too.
