Dozen? Hundreds.

Joe Buck is still absolute garbage and having improved from "garbage on fire" to "garbage" does not make him worthy of forgiveness. Every game he commentates is a crime against sports.

To be fair, Pat Summerall was also known for stuff like that. The difference was, he was paired with Madden, and it was amazing. Buck is paired with Aikman, who I don't dislike as much as a lot of other goons, but it's two :geno: guys instead of :geno: and :kingsley:, and Aikman has definitely gotten worse over the years.

Now I miss Madden/Summerall :smith:

Booger’s gone, right?

Phil Simms was the worst I ever heard. Aikman is the worst now that Simms and Booger are gone, but basically every commentator besides Romo is bad.

It probably bears repeating that this is because of the producers.

The last time I enjoyed listening to Collinsworth was the end of SB49, when he was apoplectic over The Worst Play Call Ever and saying exactly what everyone was thinking. “If I lose the Super Bowl because Marshawn Lynch couldn’t get two yards in three tries, SO BE IT!”

Collingsworth is awful, I'm okay with Fouts, but I have grown to HATE Charles Davis. Originally I actually liked him, it just took a while listening to him calling games before you realize he says the same loving poo poo ALL the time and it's all nonsensical cliches.

They have him do the commentary on Madden, which I'm pretty sure is purposeful because he repeats himself so often in real life; when you hear it in the game over and over it doesn't sound as jarring

It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, MAD-2R World
The Patriots are shaping up to finally have a real :siren: LOST SEASON :siren: in 2020 along with everyone else, due to COVID-19 :zombie:

But seriously, the roster is borderline terrible on offense no matter who they end up sticking under center, and they have no cap space in 2020 to try to apply any quick fixes. The defense will still be good, but it's aging and they lost Shelton, Collins and Van Noy already. Belichick won't deliberately tank, but I'll be surprised if they do much better than .500.

It's not a lost season when you aren't wasting a year of great talent. Also, Belichick may have done enough tanking with his roster moves. They won't go 0-16 but they have the hardest schedule in the league and IDK how bad the worst team will be.
