If you could distill an anthem-kneeling-article fox news comment section, add the passion and confidence of a Romo playcast and remove the accuracy, well then put a mic on its head because you've got a competitor for Witten. What does a Witten broadcast have in common with Super Bowl rings? A lot of obvious holes. What's the closest Witten will get to a Super Bowl ring? This joke. Running tally of Wittenisms in this topic. Call him Ten because the Wit has left the booth. "This is going to be a shovel pass" *runs it up the gut*

WE talk a lot about how bad kickers have gotten this year (True) but holy gently caress announcing is a barren wasteland. Witten is god awful. We had Jeff Fisher (JEFF loving FISHER) announcing games and - in a surprise to no one - he was terrible. I long - LONG - for mediocre announcing. I think the one pleasant surprise was the amazon TNF crew last week who were really pretty good.

i hate everyone on the mnf crew. witten knows what he's talking about but at a position that nobody cares about and is incredibly hard to show on tv and he's bad at the actual commentating aspect of it, so he's a worse, boring ron wolfley. booger is ok but he's too much like deion sanders or shannon sharpe yelling at the tv and it wears on you for an entire game. actually probably spot on is tony sirugasa. if witten could carry the broadcast better then booger would be on half the time and it would be fine, i think. people here like tessitore but i don't think he's any good. budget joe buck.

It’s not a good booth, Tessitore isn’t reigned in enough to counterbalance the Witten/Booger combo

Witten would be fine as the C-team FOX announcer or whatever traditional first-year gig a retired player would get, but instead he's calling marquee nationwide games every week

Traxis posted:"Here's a guy" "you talk about" has obliterated that. I don't think you can go 10 minutes in a NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE broadcast without hearing someone say "you talk about player-so-and-so".

Play posted:Ronde Barber is good. He doesn't get enough love I thought he was loving awful yesterday. That's only time I've noticed him but he kept hammering his talking points no matter what was actually happening. He spent like two minutes talking about the fumbled snap the Browns had and how important it is to take snaps from under center on a play where the center clearly snapped the ball while Mayfield was trying to change the play. Then another minute post commercial break after saying "I don't think this one was his fault" where he went right back to talking about how taking snaps is something Baker hadn't done before.

Jason Witten is Chris Collinsworth but with brevity. He at least seemed engaged with the game tonight where he's been bored out of his skull previously. I'm a sucker for a guy generally being excited for the game so just give me Booger. Joe probably didn't get the job because he's excitable and live calling a game is only for talking benzo overdoses.

It is against federal law for white former Dallas Cowboys not to be hired as announcers upon their retirement. Get ready for Sean Lee, coming to a broadcast booth near you in 2020.
