Al Macguire and Joe Thiesman

[Ironlock]

Hey Al, every sentence does NOT have to start with....

"I'll tell you what, you talk about......____________".

I forget every week how much I hate these shmucks. :+talking-

 

[David Matthews]

Hilarious you should say that... was going to say, note the number of time Maguire says "I want to tell you..." or "I mean to tell you..."

 

[xpanda]

I was thinking of writing a column entirely devoted to the dumbshit stuff these announcers/reporters say.

My weekly (hourly) favourite: 'so Coach, what's your gameplan going into the second half?'

STFU.

 

[Ironlock]

"I'm gonna tell ya what"...he just said.

 

[highnine]

had enough of them 2 years ago. sound off with radio on. get more meaningful sideline reports on radio anyway.

 

[David Matthews]

"I mean, you talk about..."

 

[kosar]

Al McGuire was a great coach at Marquette and a pretty good announcer, but I think you mean Paul Maguire.

I would take either of these guys over Madden any time.

 

[Ironlock]

Always gotta be smartass eh?

 

[kosar]

Is there any other way? :+excited-

 

[GreenDoberman]

Al Maguire: "It's all seashells and balloons".

I believe that was his famous quote, if I'm not mistaken.

 

[Books Worst Enemy]

I think the ESPN Sunday Night crew is the best in the business by a landslide.

Seriously, would you rather have this or CBS/Fox lulling you to sleep?

Later,

[Ironlock]

Uh....I wouldn't mind a little fucking SILENCE! I tune in to watch the game, not to hear some dipshit talk about how he's gonna talk about how fast Dwight Freeney is, 50 fucking times.

Just a little silence, I just want to watch the game, hear the crowd, the hits, the whistle...etc..not some 3 clowns fighting over airtime with the same tired ol sayings...:hung

 

[coconutman]

I think it annoys you more when your bet is clear loser. I just watch the games, don't mind what they really talk about unless they are prasing my team.

 

[JJGOLD]

They would not be on unless they got high remarks from experts in the biz

No one here has a clue on what a good announcer is including me

Ratings very high so they stay

 

[ZZ CREAM]

I decided to give this crew a clean slate this year. Have hated Theismann as an anouncer forever. But last night, I was pleasantly surprised to listen to them and even chuckled a few times. This announcing team seems to be more comfortable now and I for one will give them annother chance this week.

 

[The General]

I don't like them as announcers. They try to argue for entertainment and it is very dry.

 

[parkcityrep]

I like them as bouncers. They try to argue for entertainment and it is very dirty.there wives are horny.

cool

I disagree. People tune in -despite- the announcers.

I'll tell you what... these guys as analysts suck. Period. I want to tell you... Good announcers don't suck every players' c*ck all game long. Good announcers don't say the same thing over and over ad nausuem.

A good announcer is one that the fans like. There are no Ilovetheespnfootballguys.com sites out there.

(Mike Patrick is fine with me, by the way; it's Maguire and Theismann who are awful)
