August 26, 201511 yr Who is your favorite? Play-by-play commentator Jim Nantz, Phil Simms and sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson. • Ian Eagle, analyst Dan Fouts with sideline reporter Evan Washburn •Greg Gumbel and Trent Green with Jamie Erdahl •Kevin Harlan and Rich Gannon •Spero Dedes and Solomon Wilcots •Andrew Catalon and Steve Tasker and Steve Beuerlein •Tom McCarthy and Adam Archuleta •Brian Anderson and Chris Simms. Meanwhile, James Brown anchors the network's pregame studio show, The NFL Today, which enters its 48th season. Brown will be joined by analysts Boomer Esiason, Bill Cowher, Tony Gonzalez and Bart Scott, CBS Sports NFL Insider Jason La Canfora and former NFL official and rules expert Mike Carey.
August 26, 201511 yr 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.
August 26, 201511 yr ... Mike Carey always appears to me as a guy playing the role of a former referee. So awkward.
August 26, 201511 yr 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.
August 26, 201511 yr 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.
August 26, 201511 yr I like Ian Eagle the most out of that group. Kevin Harlan would probably be second.

I think he may be doing college football as well. 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.
August 26, 201511 yr 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.
August 26, 201511 yr I like Ian Eagle the most out of that group. Kevin Harlan would probably be second. I agree with this. And Simms is awful. Not a fan of Wilcots either.
August 26, 201511 yr 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.
August 26, 201511 yr ... Mike Carey always appears to me as a guy playing the role of a former referee. So awkward. You mean too often he defends his boys instead of calling it down the middle like a righteous superior? Or something else?
