isn't brand new. He was doing college games in the early 2000's and has been in the NFL for 3-4 years now. I think he also did Lions games on the radio broadcasts, too

Has been awful. Fox and NBC have made their product look and feel inferior
Romo and Collinsworth can analyze a play before it happens and

both are very good ... Madden was unique and the best all around. Booger and Tessitore are embarrassments to their profession and just need to go do something to else.
By the way..

Spielman did a couple Giants games at the end of the season.

He was the guy who came out with these gems:

"Bethea has been excellent all season long"
"Shurmur has done a great job calling games this year" (immediately followed by a run on 2nd and short that lost 4 yards)
"Ogletree has been all over the field this year"

You simply can't do any homework and make those types of statements.

There are a lot of younger fans who only knew Madden as the 'bumbling, stumblin' guy who rambled aimlessly throught a game, or the guy named after the video game. Madden and Summerall were untouchable in the 70's and 80's...

Well, for one thing, they literally do not have exclusive rights to mnf, because those games are also broadcast on over-the-air channels in local markets. But beyond that, I think most people understand what exclusive rights means, and it's not having the rights to certain specific games, while many other games are shown elsewhere. ESPN has exclusive rights to Wimbledon. You can't watch it (in the US) other than on ESPN. Being the only place to watch some random sunday night game between the White Sox and Rangers doesn't qualify as "exclusive" rights to mlb, no matter how much some people might want to watch that game. That doesn't mean those rights aren't valuable, but there's no need to mischaracterize them.

to stay with CBS. Usually going to get better matchups and he would be guaranteed a SB every 3 years. Could become the John Madden of his day. ESPN is a circus
How did Booger ever get on TV?

That said, I would be happier if Romo concentrated on golf where his legend of fantasy fans could continue t bet on him.

His attempts at humor are very annoying. He's just not funny. That being said, he wouldn't be any worse than Booger.

Again, ABC is in play for the AFC package which if they got it would mean no NFL on CBS.
why leave CBS?

and is he going to partner with Tess?

Tess - I turned the volume off after he screamed

JAY JAY WATT!! during the Texans/Bills playoff broadcast

Booger is terrible in so many ways, but Tess is equally bad.

I think Romo and Nantz already have good chemistry, and I like listening to Romo.

The MNF crew is why I installed Hot Mic on my phone - would rather search for random announcers than listen to the current crew....

That word does not mean what you think it means.

I think the point Mad Mike was making is right in your own post - you can't have exclusive rights to "at least some" of anything. It's not exclusive if you only have some.

Is going to be an up and coming presence. I realize he's new but I think he does a damn good job.


Is this a serious post?
