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
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.
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...
Are you saying that they don't have exclusive rights to at least some NFL, MLB or NBA games? Who else broadcasts Sunday night baseball? The NBA playoff games on ESPN (including the conference final)? ESPN/Disney has Monday night football also.
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.
If I were in Romos shoes I would take a little less money
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

Again, ABC is in play for the AFC package which if they got it would mean no NFL on CBS.
They have exclusive rights to MLB, NBA and NFL games (including some playoffs) and look to only be increasing their NFL rights. They also have a near monopoly on college sports (especially with the anticipated SEC deal coming). They are also expected to aggressively bid on some sort of
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.

"Bethea has been excellent all season long"

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....

Is this a serious post?
