he said, when describing the colts passing attack, that peyton manning was an equal opportunity passer (that's why he has black receivers, I guess), AND that his receivers know that "if it's their day in the barrel" they're going to get the football.
he's either never heard the "day in the barrel" joke, or he didn't get it.
or he's an idiot.
he ain't as bad as mccarver (no one is), but he's a close 2nd.

The day I hear a football commentator who isn't an idiot is the same day I win the lottery.

Actually, Dierdorf is great, too, in a drunk-all-the-time-uncle sort of way.

Gus Johnson sometimes calls football for CBS, and Gus Johnson is the best. I also love it when FOX brings back Pat Summerall to call the Cotton Bowl; that dude is the Dick Clark of commentators. And Fowler and Herbstreit do a nice job. I like them, anyway.

(of course, they are balanced by the dreadful Emmitt Smif and the unlistenable Michael Irvin, and the idiotically bombastic Neon.)

Moose and Aikman do a good job (and I don't think that because I'm a cowboy fan). 3 of the top color guys of all time are Cowboys: Troy, Moose, and Dandy Don.(of course, they are balanced by the dreadful Emmitt Smif and the unlistenable Michael Irvin, and the idiotically bombastic Neon.)

I was going to go with a "color guys / colored guys" joke, but decided against it.

Just because you see racism in everything, doesn't mean anyone else does.
What you've said here is racist and you should be ashamed.

I know that you're just trying to be "funny", but I find your comments offensive.Just because you see racism in everything, doesn't mean anyone else does.

flip cracker side, Aikman and Moose are godawful as broadcasters. We're talking functionally retarded.

The worst is Tony Serigusa (sp) although he's just on the sidelines a feel a vein pop in my forehead whenever he even comes on the screen.

My favorite color guy is actually Phil Simms. I'll admit I haven't heard him as much this past season but he tends to give decent insights without constantly overtalking the game and isn't always referring to his own playing days.The worst is Tony Serigusa (sp) although he's just on the sidelines a feel a vein pop in my forehead whenever he even comes on the screen.

Oh god, Tony Siragusa is easily in the Mariotti/Bayless/Stephen A 'Blight Upon Civilization' category. I desperately hate Tony Siragusa, he loves to do that 'take off the dress' shtick whenever he talks about a football player he feels isn't mindless violent enough for his tastes. Ugh.

I think in 40 years we are going to put him #2 behind Vin Scully.

Getting the 49er games locally means getting a lot of the #3 announcing team, and I have to say that Matt Vasgersian, who I first noticed in the MLB The Show series, has really grown on me.I think in 40 years we are going to put him #2 behind Vin Scully.
