Am I the only one who'd rather have one of the "B" teams broadcasting rather than the "A" team for either Fox or CBS? Just don't like Nantz/Simms or Buck/Aikman. Would really rather have anybody else.

Mike Carey always appears to me as a guy playing the role of a former referee. So awkward.

That is a pretty weak line-up to me when compared to other networks, especially at the top. Love Nantz for golf but not for football and I have never been a Simms fan (especially compared to Collinsworth, Aikman, or Gruden). Carey was a bad referee IMO and is terrible in this role.

He's so bad. Mike Pereira does such an outstanding job on Fox too.

 

I don't like Simms in the booth either.

[Mack The Knife]

Phil "The Football" Simms isn't very good.

[Jumper_Dad]

I can't stand to hear Boomer Esiason, thankfully he's just on the studio show.

[Jim Schue]

We all lose when Gus Johnson is off doing silly stuff like soccer.

I had high hopes for that, but he was terrible at calling soccer. He's no longer in that role for Fox. He's their lead guy on college hoops. I think he may be doing college football as well.

[Randy Parker]

I like Ian Eagle the most out of that group. Kevin Harlan would probably be second.

Pro football and college hoops. That's where Gus Johnson needs to be. He's the most entertaining — while still being extremely good — PBP man there is for both sports.

[Jim Schue]

I like Ian Eagle the most out of that group. Kevin Harlan would probably be second.

 

They're just both kind of dull to me, but they are solid.

 

When did Chris Simms get on board? Surely that's all on merit.

[spindoc]

I agree with this. And Simms is awful. Not a fan of Wilcots either.

[Getslow]

I don't watch much of CBS' coverage with FOX having the majority of the Vikings' games, but I do like Ian Eagle pretty well and I agree with those that are less than impressed with Jim Nantz.

You mean too often he defends his boys instead of calling it down the middle like a righteous superior? Or something else?
