That would accurately describe Majerus’ short stint on TV. He was brilliant, perhaps too brilliant for the avergae viewer/layperson. Like Knight, no razzle-dazzle, just smart basketball insight. F Vitalezyzewski!

The FB was destroyed, but he did the job well enough in getting destroyed.

Well, I’m sure George Zip appreciated it.

He was saying the fullback sold out for the block so the runner could get the edge right? How does an expression about winning a game for a dying man said incorrectly work there? Maybe I’m just the only crazy man left on Earth.

He didn’t sell out to block someone, the guy he was blocking cleaned his ass out, but in doing so it provided enough time for the RB to get to the outside. The FB was destroyed, but he did the job well enough in getting destroyed.

that said, his voice was a wonderful baritone that warmed over you like a velvet snuggie.

So true.

And why some people like Vitale as an announcer, I’ll never know. You’re not there to cheerlead, but give me insight into the game which I, as a layperson, wouldn’t know.

id actually believe in god if vitale lost his voice…a truer justice you cannot find.

Now Cunningham I have to agree on. He called three NEB games last year and 2-3 UGA games this year. He’s awful.

this needs to be repeated over and over again…HORRIBLE. h-o-r-r-i-b-l-e. straight up bald-faced lies to the audience.

I thought it was a good line for what he was saying.

did you see ed cunningham on the osu/florida game? HOLY SHIT he was bad.

he wasn’t even CLOSE. and don’t get me started on mike patrick doing ZERO homework and not even bothering to TRY and get names right.

Some guy named Mike Patrick.

and don’t get me started on mike patrick

He’s another one that was good once, but too many nights next to Vitale fried his brain.

I finally flipped on this guy. He just doesn’t know the game very well. I don’t mind the excitement/volume, but he needs to learn basic strategies of football.

Listening to Gus Johnson call a game is a highly overrated experience.

The guy I kind of enjoyed doing NFL color work this year was Brian Billick. I’ve read/heard the guys can be arrogant, but if he is, it didn’t come across in his work this year. I thought he was quite good.

There are lots of people who have been around football for a long time and have a lot of knowledge about the game…that doesn’t mean they will make good front office execs.

true…and just because someone knows football doesn’t mean they’ll be a great color announcer either.

/glares at gruden

Him saying “sometimes you have to lose one for the Gipper” was not good shit.

I thought it was a good line for what he was saying.

Way back in the day he was okay as a commentator, but times have changed, and he is bearable only in what dumbfuck thing he is going to say next.

did you see ed cunningham on the osu/florida game? HOLY SHIT he was bad.

i guess florida’s “spread” includes a QB under center and two tight ends pinned next to the tackles. then he describes florida’s blocking scheme as man on instead of the zone blocking it is.

he wasn’t even CLOSE. and don’t get me started on mike patrick doing ZERO homework and not even bothering to TRY and get names right.

Matt Millen makes many many good points.

People forget there was an actual reason he was even considered for a GM job in the first place. He might actually know a thing or two about football.
