Yeah he won't even shut up and let Boog say something funny/insightful anymore. Just slobbers all over the big name player's cock (last night it was Rodgers, the week before Drew Brees, then Andy Reid and Big Ben) and raves about tight ends and how they should be used. Yesterday the defense would make an amazing play and Witten would just keep on blabbering endlessly about Rodgers and Graham. He also always has a fascist take handy about players who are fighting to be paid fairly.


If I'm getting a fascist footbaw talker, I want an Objectivist and not a bog-standard Dallas suburb mutant. At least it'd be occasionally hilarious.

It's funny, I think Romo has actually retroactively improved his legacy as a player a little by how he has done in the broadcast booth. I think people just sort of assumed he was a kind of dumb player because of a handful of sad/hilarious plays, but now millions of people have heard him coming across as a very bright and likable guy on TV, while Jason Garrett continues to be a garbageman head coach of a moronic Cowboys organization.

Witten has done the exact opposite. He was a widely praised player for being smart/gritty/etc., but he comes across as just some dumb rear end in a top hat on TV.

I don't remember exactly, but when prompted he gave some really lame opinions on air about Earl Thomas and Leveon Bell. Basically that they're fools for not taking what was offered and for holding out and that they're letting down their teams, blah blah blah. Not a fringe opinion by any means but it seemed pretty clear that his sympathies are with ownership/management. Maybe that's an opinion you come to when the owner always "takes care of you" and also gives you a football made of diamonds when you retire. He's Jerry Jones' butt boy basically

I went out for dinner last night and the bar we were at had the audio of the hockey game playing instead of MNF and it was an excellent watching experience.

They need to just broadcast Booger driving around on the cart peeing in various places on the field and/or highlighting players peeing on the field.

That discussion was the highlight of last night's terrible broadcast.

Pretty sure there was a moment late last night where Joe Tessitore said a thing and then Jason Witten said "And here is why" and then listed the things Tessitore said seconds earlier almost word-for-word.

I could come up with all the football cliches Witten spouts in my sleep. Absolutely bog-standard poo poo that every fan starts picking up once they've watched for long enough. He never manages to highlight interesting things that happen which you might not notice (say on the line of scrimmage or away from the ball), he's constantly slurping on someone's cock and he can't complete a thought to save his life.

This is probably the most autistic thing ill say but sometimes I wish there was a option for just crowd/stadium/ambient noise on tv.

I've watched so much football I have a good idea of what is happening at any given time. The only thing I can learn from these announcers is that certain tight ends were...get this...basketball players in college!!!

I really like Tony Romo because he has a real enthusiasm and enjoyment for the game and can make a bad game more enjoyable. Al Michaels is just so damned impressive that i have to listen to him but otherwise i like just watching the games occasionally with the radio broadcast in the background.

Announcers need to talk about coverages, blocking and pass rushing schemes, and routes a bit more. Tell us something we wouldn't necessarily notice on our own. But most of it is just literally what we can all see happening on the screen sprinkled with some cliches about big third downs and how "they really need to get points out of this drive." No loving poo poo they need to get points

For FOX/CBS games all the commentary is on the center channel, so if you mute it you get just crowd noise. ESPN usually spreads it across the front three channels, so this doesn't work for MNF.
