He was very complimentary of the Bengals and wasn't homering for or against anyone. I kind of think he's a D-bag as a person but, hey... can't win them all.
I didn't hear him say anything about the Bengals. He did talk about the Bangels all day though.

Tom McCarthy is usually a good announcer. But he mostly calls the Phillies games.

Id take Berman & Dilfer over those two any day, thats how bad they are.
RE: Those announcers yesterday - UDWhoDey - 09-15-2015
Ha! I rarely complain about announcers, but they were awful - even when they attempted to compliment the Bengals. About 5 times I heard about how the Bengals have been to the playoffs 3 years in a row.

Bermans voice is like nails on a chalk board. The dude can say 3 words before he's out of breath and forcing the words out with his last gasps.

He also kept talking about the Bengals making it to the playoffs 3 straight years, oh and Marvin Lewis was out with an injury last year so...... yea they sucked.

My choice for most intolerable commentator is Gruden on MNF. Berman is only slightly more bearable IMO
RE: Those announcers yesterday - Thundercloud - 09-15-2015
People have mentioned in various posts, all the little bits of misinformation they imparted. There is no excuse for that.
And Simms was also annoying me with than Bangles crap, but then his dad pronounces it Bingles, so what the hell, elocution is not big in the Simms household.
RE: Those announcers yesterday - The Caped Crusader - 09-15-2015
That was a really, really bad announced game. However, the Bengals are strangers to games like that. Too often they called things incorrectly

Chris Simms is as good at announcing as he was at playing QB, time for him to find another career outside the pigskin.

Some of his points were valid, but he has a HORRIBLE voice for TV and even worse dictation. You can't seriously call a Bengals game and call them the Bangles the whole time. Somebody in production should be fired for that. It should have been corrected at the first break.
RE: Those announcers yesterday - bengals73 - 09-15-2015
Those announcers were awful.
Chris Simms sucked as QB and he's even worse as an announcer.

then he corrected that by saying Notre Dame produces great Receivers.

No matter who is the announcer on a Bengals game there will be thread about how terrible they are.
Seriously, according to this board there is not one single announcer who someone does not consider "garbage" when they do a bengals game.
RE: Those announcers yesterday - tigershrimp - 09-15-2015
Dave Lapham, forgive them. They must not know that any Dayton fan worth his salt will tell them: Mute the tube and crank WTUE!

I find most of them to be less than impressive regardless of what game they are announcing. Most of us just notice more during our games because we know our players and it stands out when the announcer says something that is undeniably incorrect.

Now we get to go from Chris Simms to Dan Fouts.
