Watching and Listening (Why we hate the networks)

Watching the Packer vs Falcons game on whatever network and listening to the WTMJ (Milwaukee) announcers.


TOPICS:
KEYWORDS: networks; nfl; sports
Middle of the 2nd quarter - WTMJ guys are talking about the Atlanta stadium honoring a Veteran and the crowd's cheering - network tv is a commercial - no announcement at all - nothing.

Packers are playing bothered and bewildered. So far, this is a massacre.

I’m thinking maybe the Packers forgot to eat their Wheaties this morning . . . 31-0 (although they are currently in the Red Zone).

Westwood One is mangling the call here in Madistan. Wish the packers can pull something outa their hat.

I don’t usually watch the NFL but it was on the TV at the restaurant where I had lunch so I watched the first half. It looked like the Packers were a JV squad playing the Varsity.

The Falcons have done their part to cause Atlanta to forget the embarrassment of the Atlanta Braves.

Obviously, the Packers played their Big Game last Sunday when they got lucky and beat the Cowboys on that fluke long pass play with seconds left. It’s really hard to play two hard games back to back. The Falcons look really good today and hardly raised a sweat today.

FRiend, anybody is better than Joe Buck, -and Aikman for that matter.
JB doesn’t hold a candle compared to his dad. Sad but true.
Aikman was an awesome QB, everything else.. Meh

My Mom and I call Buck and Aikman The Boring Brothers. They sound exactly alike, the same droning voices, just annoyingly similar. Thank God they’re done and won’t be doing the Steelers-Patriots game.

Dang Packers laid a pile of poop on the field today.

That’s because Fox is paying 1.1 billion with a B dollars a year for the games while your radio station is paying basically nothing. Lots of stuff happens at the stadiums that the TV doesn’t show in all sports, between the broadcast rights and the equipment costs they need to sell every commercial spot possible.
