Beth Mowins and Rex Ryan

These guys are challenging Madden and Summerall for best duo ever. Really, really well done and extremely entertaining. Great job! ESPN does it again. Psyched for the new season if this is the all star squad.
much better listen than

Was kinda funny that the first time we hear Rexy live  
mfsd : 8/21/2017 10:43 pm : link
he gets to comment on Geno Smith's play. Lol

And I didn't think Rex was so bad for a novice announcer
I've been on mute, didn't even realize Rex had this gig  
GMenLTS : 8/21/2017 10:49 pm : link
I assume it's as bad as one could expect with Rex in the booth?
I listened to McDoughna and Gruddin for about two minutes  
trueblueinpw : 8/21/2017 10:52 pm : link
McDoughna was talking about all of OBJs "drama", citing his controversy with "teammates". Then Chucky chimes in with overly enthusiastic fluffing of some nonsense like "the Browns took an unprecedented 4 wide receivers in the draft and I'm really excited to see how that works out". That was all needed to remind me that there's almost no reason to listen to any of the TV broadcasters.

Totally. Like I said. Much better.
Twenty bucks says she's not wearing shoes.

You can't even spell his name correctly. Twice. How can anyone possibly take you seriously?

You can tell he's new to it, still working out when to talk, how long he's got between plays, etc. ane was incredibly subdued for how you would expect Ryan to be based on his personality. I'd go so far to say he was pretty bland.
Sean McDonough was awful tonight  
Phil in Joisey : 8/21/2017 11:44 pm : link
He couldn't and didn't name less than half of the players on the field.

Rex is a foot guy...
I thought  
allstarjim : 8/21/2017 11:59 pm : link
They were terrible. And Rex called Eli "Mining". He was really having difficulty forming words.
Sean McDonough really sucks at this  
moespree : 8/22/2017 12:03 am : link
Which is surprising as he's a veteran at it and had plenty of years to prepare for this big of a gig. But he's really awful. I wouldn't be surprised at all if he'd dumped next season.

Seriously?

admittedly I haven't heard them yet and they could be fantastic, but that was my first initial thought after hearing Rexy.
Ryan was not nearly as bad as I was expecting  
Mike from Ohio : 8/22/2017 8:12 am : link
Granted, I expected horrible from him. A couple of times he did a nice job talking about scheme, but I expect the producers at ESPN will make sure to remind him that nobody watching a football game cares about players and scheme, they want catch phrases, screaming and funny stories.
I think Rex was trying to hard  
figgy2989 : 8/22/2017 8:15 am : link
He needs to realize that he doesn't have to talk every 5 seconds. Some of his analysis seemed forced so there wasn't any dead air.

Just speak your mind Rex, that is why you got the job in the first place.
