montanagiant : 11/12/2018 10:34 am
LOL...and it's bad:

"It doesn't matter he pulls another rabbit out of his head"
LOL - ( New Window )
CTE is no laughing matter

But yeah, what the hell is it with all these Cowshits doing color commentating? Romo sucks, Aikman's okay in small doses, Witten is off his rocker...
Is Witten wearing a toupee

He went from a balding spot on the back of his head, to perfect hair... LOL
Nobody was worse than Emmitt Smith

"The Patriots got debacled." This is why sports announcing and sports media in general has gone down hill over the past decade. The days of talented announcers and journalists are replaced by former big name stars and controversial types that drive traffic to the sites.

He probably had a hair transplant.
He is god awful

And I thought MNF couldn't get worse announcing wise after the Gruden nonsense. At least Gruden can complete a sentence.

I don't mind him that much honestly. It's McFarland which ruins it for me. He corrected himself on the rabbit out of his head line literally a second later.

He is a big name former NFL player. That's the only qualification required by ESPN these days.
I thought David Diehl did a pretty good job.

Maybe I'm just a NYG homer, but I thought he was better than a lot of the Cowboys.

It's just a rice of passage that new color commentators need to go through.

Louis Riddick was in line to get that spot  
mfsd : 11/12/2018 11:35 am : link
and got passed over for Witten. Because, America’s team!
This is not a knock on montanagiant  
EricJ : 11/12/2018 11:38 am : link
or anyone else who has chimed in on this thread so far because it is more about the state of affairs with our team.

It it must really suck around here when all we have on a Monday morning right before a Giants game is to beat the shit out of a hall of fame TE for his announcing capabilities.

I figured it would lighten the mood  
montanagiant : 11/12/2018 11:47 am : link
But you are indeed correct.

Being a Hall of Fame player has nothing to do with whether he deserves criticism as an announcer. He’s awful.

Emmitt Smith is one of the best to ever step on a football field, and was a complete jackass on TV.

As for the Giants sucking this season - pretty sure we’d still be talking about how bad Witten is if the Giants were 8-1.

Actually Romo has been good to very good at times and Aikman has always been solid, your giants bias is showing there. Written on the other hand has been bad, bit I think he is trying too hard to be as good as Romo.
He just seems so uncomfortable  
Bubba : 11/12/2018 2:28 pm : link
he makes me feel uncomfortable.
Witten could be fine,  
ATL_Giants : 11/12/2018 2:44 pm : link
he just needs to cut his teeth in the broadcasting world a bit first, before getting the high profile MNF spot.

Shit, conduct a few interviews or talk through a few play reviews first. Just to learn what's its like on a set, surrounded by cameras.

Romo sucks?? You've gotta be the only person to ever say that.

He's already the greatest announcer of all time by a long shot. He's regularly calling shit out before it even happens.
The hatred

Doesn't know when to shut up lmaooooo

You realize he's paid to TALK and not sit awkwardly in a corner while we watch the game in silence right, wtf?
Sorry to keep elaborating

But giants fan or not, if you don't enjoy hearing Romo talk football you have ZERO appreciation for the game, a most likely zero understanding of it

He's not supposed to talk during the play, you stupid shit. Too much talking can also detract from the game.

None of them know when to shut up especially collinsworth who must get paid by the word. At least CC is a pro but for the love of god let the game breathe a bit. I feel like Troy and Buck are the only ones that shut up once in a while. Collinsworth never met a play or player that he couldn’t wax poetic about. It’s downright maddening.
Witten is awful  
Sonic Youth : 11/12/2018 5:17 pm : link

Hard for me to go one way or the other on AIkman since I'm just so accustomed to him at this point.
