How about Kay comes to your house and does play by play while drinking beers with you????
That is the one Im waiting for!!

Maybe romo is trying too hard to live up to the $. He’s talking much these days

Will take Romo any day of the week and twice on Sunday over this dude..

Yeah it seems like a dislike of Romo and Nantz as a combination is quite in vogue. Honestly, probably my favourite duo in the NFL right now. I personally loved the enthusiasm you could hear in Romo's voice when we were driving in OT in KC last year. He was literally saying what I was thinking as we got closer, 'my god the Bengals are going to the Super Bowl'.

It's all subjective but I don't mind them. I would say their calls for the Buffalo game weren't on point, but I really thought they nailed the AFCCG last year personally.

According to the Ravens game a couple weeks ago, this is Sam Hubbard's account posting here.

I would be looking forward to work tomorrow a lot more if I had Sam Hubbard's bank balance, and his ability to play in the NFL.

.... Or maybe I am looking forward to work tomorrow...

I wouldn’t see a single snap of a game if Kay were at my house….

Romo was amazing his 1st year.

He’s letting his bias’s come through now that he’s comfortable and he’s been training in CBS’s system for 3 years now so he’s more cookie cutter. The double whammy he’s getting is he isn’t as fresh as year 1 and he’s starting to get comfortable with the players he feels are the best so some games will just be meat riding fests for certain players until it’s blatantly obvious another player is balling out.

I feel like DJ Reader’s name should’ve been called more against the Bills but becaus Romo was so obviously a Josh Allen fan he was making excuses instead of calling it like it was and saying Allen wasn’t that good. He wasn’t bad but he wasn’t that good either

Buck should never have been on television and only has his job because of his father.

Aikman has the talking part downpat (though he does sound bored half the time), but his analysis (the main part of his job) sucks: he doesn't break down even half of the stuff that Romo, Trent Green or Collinsworth do.

They are effectively middling.

Harlan is not a colour guy.

If we're going play by play, I can go on even more about that lol, but not tonight.

And Kay isn't a PbP person, she's a show host.

Then when I started to hear him call Bengals games, it all went downhill. His ability to gush over anything and anyone not-Bengals drove me to the point where anything he says just annoys the crap out of me.

I don't know how many times during the Bills game I said out loud that Romo needs to take off his Josh Allen kneepads and shut the eff up - now we get to experience it back-to-back weekends, this time with Mahomes.

I've never tuned into Hoard and Lapham for a game, is it worth it? I love Lap, but just hearing his grunts in the background of mic'd up videos makes me question if I could listen to him for 3 hours.

I started a new tradition last year because I could no longer "enjoy" the Gameday Thread. I will get out for a ride for at least 1/4 of the game and listen to Laps/Hoard on the Radio. Lap's "grunts" can get annoying. often times he'll say like "got it, got it" in the background and then hoard calls it incomplete. But I will say his commentary makes up for it. He's a huge homer, but he's fair and often gives the other teams credit.

WTS Gresham should have punched him in the eye

Joe Buck is absolutely the worst. I swear he doesn't even know the name of the city he is in half the time.

Hoard and Lapham come off as such a bizarre duo that it almost seems like a comedy skit more than reality.  You have this spindly play-by-play guy with his nerdy voice trying to explain what is going on while this former player bellows and grunts in reaction to what is happening on the field and you're trying to gauge what is happening based upon the tone of Lap's grunts because you can't hear the actual play-by-play.  Just listening to them without having a visual cue is pretty difficult at times.

Burrow back to pass
*OAAAOUUUUGHH!!!!!!* (I think this means he avoided some sort of pressure)
Takes a deep shot!
*AAAARHHHHHHGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!* (I think that is a good grunt?)
...and the ball is........
OOOOOOOOOOOGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
.....end zone for the touchdown!
WOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!


Good on Lap for still having that fire, but the guy reminds me of when they bring a celebrity fan in who isn't accustomed to the whole play by play process who gets wrapped up in fandom and starts screaming GO GO GO etc. during the broadcast around a live mic.

We don't care about her PbP skills

The Tony Romo hate i've seen on the internet the past week is absolutely absurd.  Dude is hands down the best color commentator we've had as NFL fans in at least a decade.  He's turned up the fanboi attitude a ton this year but he's still above and beyond better than the other options.

You want Tiki Barber or Jay Feely?...good luck with that.  Give me Romo.

what a surprise, of course YOU think Romo is good

shocker

I'm not the one who said she should be at my house. And I think she would be an interesting PbP.
