I know players typically don't like Thursday night games so I'm ok without those but Monday night and Sunday night games get me fired up!
Yeah, the only part I hate about this is Romo announcing. I'd almost forfeit the good times to be on TV if it meant no Romo.
Most bars and restaurants around here crank up the noise for games but hopefully there's enough noise to drain out Romo's voice, especially during big plays.
But Romo often provides some useful analysis, at least for us less knowledgeable types. He'll tell us what the position of the safety means in a particular formation and what play would be successful with that defense. He'll advise the viewer to focus on a particular player and we indeed see that WR or TE get the pass. Sometimes he's nearly prescient in describing what would be run: it will be a screen, it will be a shuffle pass, this is a good play to run a draw, etc.
He's probably my favorite analyst, to be honest. I learn a lot watching him.
Yes, sometimes he gives advice that is poor. He was ruminating on whether the Bengals should let KC score at the end of the playoff game so the Bengals would have more time to go down and score themselves, but the Bengals ended up getting two sacks and pushing KC back from inside the 5 to a long field goal try. But, I replayed that and he didn't say they should do that, just ruminated on whether or not it would be a good idea.
Some annoying quips, of course. "Chase is on the case!" kind of took away from watching a great play. But, all in all, I like him better than any of the other analysts.
