Who in the world would want to have a nickname like Booger?

Too bad about Booger.

I guess things got a little sticky.

Too bad. I don’t care for kneeling pro foooseball players or their announcers that didn’t have the testicular fortitude to stand up and call a spade a spade. In fact, they promoted #BLM, and I stopped watching pro football.

Ooh Steve Levey as a possible candidate! Good choice, good play by play guy and horribly underutilized by ESPN.

Grossed me out every time I heard “booger” (about every 5 min) on MNF. That “runaway cat” incident they was the final straw. Disney/ABC/ESPN ruined Monday night.

“Monday Night Football”

I thought King Fibbin'-Ouchy told us earlier today that there would probably be no NFL this year. It won't matter if Booger, Bubba, or Boomer is in the booth.

McFarland wasn’t a bright guy to begin with, after 12 years of bashing his skull in college and the NFL, he’s a freak show idiot. The less of his idiotic observations, the better.

I remember when he was playing college football most of the announcers called him by his real name, Paul, but “here comes Paul” does not have the same effect as “here comes the Booger.”

Gross side-note ...

The guy that played "Booger" is now the voice of "Snot" on American Dad.

Levy’s good too on CFB Nice interaction with . . . Brian Griese? I think that’s his partner without looking it up

Hope he doesn’t leave
