Joe Buck Loves Troy Aikman A Little Too Much..

The difference is that I actually listen to these guys during the game hoping for a nugget of Saints info. I realize that I complain about the subjects that announcers talk about during Saints games when I'm expecting to hear something related to the Saints instead of sucking up to Tom Brady or Dallas! :argue:

One more thing. Buck and Aikman are so monotone that they don't get me up for a game with exciting commentary and the occasional voice inflection. If I had a difficult child that I was trying to put to sleep I'd just play a game they announced and the baby would be asleep in no time. Did I mention that they are boring?

Troy Aikman during the Saints Vikes playoff game last year,something like........... "I don't like taking Brees out and replacing him with Taysom Hill" Hill proceeds to throw a 50 yard completion to Deonte Harris.

Aikman are a BRANE!!!!

There could be a significant shake up soon. It all starts with NBC, appears Al Michaels is close to retirement, and Drew Brees appears to be penciled in as a color analyst. NBC may need to find a new play by play guy to team with Brees, and would make Collinsworth a free agent. Then we can never rule out Peyton Manning getting a color analyst job and would likely be elevated to the top team immediately.

Or Brees comes back for a run at Lombardi #3!

Romo makes watching the game I love even more exciting with his pre snap break downs.

Can't wait.

I like Romo and always thought he got a bad wrap in Dallas, when he was on his game the guy made that offense go.

And like you said, he's humble enough to point out his shortcomings when describing the game in a way that tells the viewer what certain concepts should look like and how they work.

Buck and Aikman have always annoyed me to some extent but it really got worse when they freaked out over MT copying Joe Horns celebration with the flip phone.

In a day and age where football should be an escape, to see how they responded to someone enjoying the game and an old fan favourite celebration was sickening.
