WhiteWonder 2,681 Posted January 15, 2023 His voice is a bit grating but he’s just so undeniably knowledgeable that it makes up for anything else. There is no more knowledgeable commentator right now. Or I should say they may know as much but they don’t articulate it as well as Romo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nobody 2,569 Posted January 16, 2023 Romo is the best announcer out there. It's amazing to me networks can't find more people that can sound excited to watch and talk about football while also saying something interesting about the product on the field.

nobody 2,569 Posted January 16, 2023 Brian Billick was an underrated announcer. He didn't do it for very long though and Fox usually had him buried on their 3rd best game. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Honcho 5,122 Posted January 16, 2023 I must be in the minority---I rarely can differentiate between announcers. Only one that I really noticed that last few years was Jeff Gordon, Nascar, and that's cause he has a whiny voice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cloaca du jour 2,147 Posted January 16, 2023 One thing we can all agree on is anyone is better than Collinswoth and his hokey drawl. Even Booger is better than Collinsworth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm the same way for the most part, but Romo and Collinsworth have such distinctive styles that it's hard not to notice. They happen to be the two best in my opinion as well.

It's amazing to me networks can't find more people that can sound excited to watch and talk about football while also saying something interesting about the product on the field. I guess I can see now why networks can't find dynamic announcers. Judging by this thread, people just don't want dynamic announcers. Looks like we prefer the milquetoast cliche machines.

nobody 2,569 Posted January 16, 2023 Well, Bill, the Vikings are going to need to score more points than the Giants today if they plan on winning this game. That's right, John. The team that scores the most points has a good chance at taking home a victory in this one. I guess that's how we prefer our announcers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmh6476 1,010 Posted January 22, 2024 Yes. I'm also a bit nervous about Brady being the color guy on the #1 FOX team next year. I'll give him a chance, but I'm not sure how he'll take watching Mahomes continue to encroach on the GOAT conversation for the next decade. Maybe he'll take it like a man, but men usually don't make out with their kids. But yeah, some of these analysts are trying too hard. We can watch the game, and we don't need you to create the narrative for every game you are assigned to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cyclone24 1,912 Posted January 22, 2024 I wouldn’t say he’s getting tiresome but he’s gotten away from what made him really good and that was almost calling out the play before it happened and then dissecting it quickly. Now it’s just him going.” Ooooooooh I don’t know jim!!” over and over. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
