Fire Jason Witten. Hire Jon Bois. Get rid of the seven second delay. I'd plan my entire life around Monday night.

I know this is from like 6 weeks ago but does anyone know if jon bois has a podcast or anything? I didnt find anything when i googled it but it doesn't seem fair that every dipshit in the universe has one and he doesn't. He was a guest on a different podcast i listen to and he talked about programming games for ti 83 calculators when he was in high school for 45 minutes and it was incredible

He and Ryan Nanni had a podcast called Punt Brothers that ran about 10 episodes about 5 years ago. Recording a 30 minute podcast once a week proved too rigorous and he was replaced by Jane Coaston.

I remember Dr. Thorpe wrote a long time ago in one of the Your Band Sucks articles about how being the world’s most technically proficient guitarist had nothing to do with the ability to create good music. I always think about that whenever I observe the comedy of Frank Caliendo.

MNF commentary should be Gus Johnson by himself freaking out about everything for 4 hours. Maybe let him hit some acid before the broadcast begins.

I now have several regrets.

:barf:

I'd love to have a Cutler/Witten announcing team.

Witten would try to do the play by play and Cutler wouldn't even give a gently caress about the game, he'd spend all his time making fun of Witten.

It'd be amazing.

THE HELL IS WITH THIS ASS!?





Sung to the tune of WHAM's Last Christmas

Last Monday

Last Monday, I hosed up a lot
But the very next day, they gave me my pay
This week…hey, look, it’s Tyreek
That chick he beat was just mental.

Next Monday, another wet fart
But the very next day, they gave me my pay
This game, it’s more of the same.
“This sport’s being ruined by liberals.”

It’s me, Witten, and two guys
One’s called Joe
The other’s always high
in a forklift.
Or some other machine?
Well, I’m full of beer
And I don’t recognize him.
(What a broadcast!) We wrapped it up and sent it
Got back a note that said, "The hell is this? " they meant it
Now, they know what a fool they’ve been
But I get back in the booth
And then they pay me again

Last Sunday, I swore not to talk
But the very next day, said Aaron Rodgers was gay
“Jason Dear.” They said “don’t call him a queer”
So instead I said “homosexual.”

Last Monday, I spoke from the heart
But the very next day, they told me “no way.”
This time, I’m sure that I’m fine
This game’s being ruined by liberals.

A crowded dome, fans rolling their eyes
Brady pulls another score from his thighs.
That Edelman, is a guy you can rely on.
I’ll be he knows the protocols of the Elders of Zion

A two-minute silence while Boog moves his cart
I kinda wonder if they all heard me fart
But if they didn’t I know, they’ll have a chance to again.

Last Monday, I wasn’t so hot
But the very next day they gave me my pay
This night, maybe I’ll be alright
Who cares, I have health and dental

What?

Why?

Like just...don't do that broadcast then, or put them on the main broadcast (please don't) if you need them to be doing something.

e: apparently they're having trouble booking coaches I guess after looking it up. In that case this should be the last broadcast of that experiment.

Yeah, the whole point of the Coaches Room is that they AREN'T broadcast team for the most part. Actual head coaches for real football teams with extremely deep knowledge of the game who break down a play to its most fundamental level. I mean they scrub the video back and forth debating why a play did or didn't work until one them goes "Wait, look right there the right guard dropped back two steps instead of one. When he did that the whole thing fell apart"

Instead the most insightful comment we'll get is "they should really utilize their tight ends more"

This article is still a pro read 2 years later: https://www.outkickthecoverage.com/espn-will-lose-75-million-televising-raiders-texans-010217/

quote:

But until today I thought that at least ESPN was getting this wild card game as part of the $1.9 billion a year it pays for Monday Night Football and assorted other NFL studio shows. That Monday Night Football package just hit the lowest ratings in nearly a decade and narrowly avoided becoming the worst rated package of games in over forty years of Monday Night Football. But I was wrong about this game being included in that deal.

It turns out, and this is positively mind boggling, that ESPN pays $100 million dollars just to air this single wild card game.
