Because most ppl who watch casually are football ignorant and need the announcers/color to explain what is happening.

I mean for fans who have watched a long time you don't really need either announcers or color you can just tell how many yards the player got by watching. I think the XFL or something had a game where they either didn't have announcers or they hosed up their mics and they just had the Stadium PA annoucing down and distance and it was so clean.

I’m not questioning the need for announcers or appealing to an audience, but no announcer is worth one of these massive contracts.

Going to a football game in real life is just like that and it isn't eerie.

Once you know basically what's going on you'll be surprised how little they actually matter.

Hanson is the only one that arguably is essential, if you watch RedZone.

I like Al, Romo, Kevin, and certains ones add flavor to the game but Spero Adidas or whoever the gently caress I'm actually good on that.

I’ve been to plenty of games but the in person experience just has so many different things taking your attention even between plays that you don’t really notice the dead time.

At the game you get the stadium PA.

Back in the 90s CBS tried a game with no PBP and two color guys. It was a goddamn nightmare

The Chargers one is one of the wronger ones. The Raiders were a 10-7 playoff team and divisional stuff is always a little weird like that. They definitely have the pieces to be an amazing team it will just be difficult for pretty much everyone in the AFC going forward.

Most broadcasters back then were drunk or hungover. Pat Summerall and Tom Brookshier were infamously hungover for Super Bowl XIV and was basically lit constantly until like 1993.

Most saints fans I know expect us to suck because our HoF coach quit a year after our HoF QB, and there isn’t a lot of faith in either being successfully replaced. No amount of cap space would fix those issues so it’s just sort of irrelevant at the moment.

the bengals delusion would be good and correct if football was two offenses side by side trying to score the fastest. the decisions made last offseason that led to building a decent defense out of one of the worst were way more important and well done than this offseason could be even if they do everything right

That's an insane amount of money for a player who is rocks dumb on the field, has iffy hands at best, doesn't run good routes, and somehow didn't get a first down on this play.

Brady would likely be bad as a broadcaster, and it's also probably too much work for him to want to do. I could see him doing a pregame show bit, but nothing in booth.

Yeah.

I also think Aqib Talib shows you should get more former defenders in the booth. They've got a better eye on diagnosing what offenses are doing, which is what more people are interested in.
