Agree with this wholeheartedly.

It is almost like it's their intent to put out the blandest, most inoffensive product. Maybe it is. But the overal production and the consistent droning sound they pass as color commentary lag pretty far behind NBC, FOX, etc.

When football Sunday comes around, I want to get pumped up for it, but it feels like I'm listening to a morning radio talk show. J.B. gives it a little bit of life, but is relegated to segue duty most of the time while ex-players drone on with their cookie-cutter 'insight' and Cower grosses everyone out with his spittle-laden bear lips. Eagle and Nantz are tolerable during the games, but unfortunately they're paired with idiots who are only waiting for the plays to end so that they can inject their witticisms.




NBC has it down; their games feel more like MNF than MNF does. And whoever picks the outro tracks to commercial deserves a raise. That stuff is always on point. Maybe not everyone likes Al, Cris, or Michelle, but the overall production is top-notch and it's a shame they only get to do one game per week.

Fouts and Eagle are normally outstanding, but yeah Dan botched that final play pretty bad.

He's one of my favorites.

One of my non-favorites for the very same reason. 8)
