I can’t stand any of the national football tv announcers. They never shut up & are constantly giving out absolutely worthless & useless statistics their stats people they’ve hired & putting that crap on their computers, so they can then blather on & on about nothing of interest & ignore the actual game!

Going deaf in my old age, I realized that when I went to games, I watched them without any announcers talking at me all the time. So now, I turn the sound off or don’t put in my hearing aids and do just fine.

Sometimes, I watch TV with subtitles and no sound at all.

I record games and start watching 45 minutes after they start. Fast forward thru commercials and annoying talking heads. The “buddies yukking it up around the table” schtick is especially ear-grating.

buck/aikman – just turn it off

Best $75.00 I ever spent, was my radio with a delay, I can sinc my local broadcast with the TV and have not heard a talking head for years! :)

Best to ever grace the announce booth: Pat Summerall; Frank Gifford; Al Michaels; Jim Nantz; Dick Enberg; Chris Schenkel and John Madden.

Somebody’s about to get a beer dumped on their head.

On the bright side, we don’t have to listen to Howard Cosell anymore.

I fully admit that I a troglodyte. When it comes to football and baseball games and players, I can’t stand women announcing or interviewing.

However, I also feel the same way about men who never played the game. They might think that they are completely qualified to announce or interview, but they’re not.

The eternal paradox of the chud: hates that there are successful women, but thinks he’s good enough to land a successful woman as a life partner

I watched Football on Amazon. For an at home game experience, I used my surround sound and only turned on the rear channel. Stadium sound only. No voice on the commercials, some had music in the background.

They have the amazing ability to interview players outdoors in winter with more exposed cleavage than the cheerleaders.

I grew up with my Dad watching the Lions lose, sound turned off on the TV, listening to the game on the radio.

Madame, would you care to provide the gentleman with a high pitch voice of his own?

The best football broadcasts happened in Canada during the 70’s, if I remember correctly. The announcers went on strike. So, we still got the games on TV and the only commentary was the field announcer. Believe it or not, we still understood what was happening on the field.

1. Girls are entitled to dreams, as well as boys.

2. It seems that most of the broadcasters are former pro athletes, not wanna-bes who couldn’t cut it.

3. Few of the women’s voices are that high-pitched.
