I think they should get away from using former players and move toward using journalists again. While there's no doubt that a former player's insight is valuable, I would prefer to hear from someone who is actually good at calling a game and can analyze from an outside perspective. Journalists have spent their whole career analyzing the game's finer details, players spent most of it on the field.
I agree, I hate former players analyzing football.
I always liked them together, but they are simply...well...old. Pat Summerall is listed as 81 and his bio says he was doing this since 1962. My dad is currently in his mid-60s and I think that would make him a freshman in high school that year. lol
Madden is up there too. Listed at 76. Something tells me that they were sort of forced out of there given their age.
Either way, I have to admit that I'm impressed with Troy Aikman and Joe Buck.
It was time for Madden to go and he was one of my favorites. You could tell by how he sounded the last couple of years that he was not the same.
Tony Corn-fed was easily the worst MNF commentator I've ever seen. He was just a bad choice from the beginning. He didnt even like planes. How would he travel to MNF games from DC?
Is that because you were not a fan of PTI on ESPN?
He's also very bias. Some of these guys are too connected to their old franchises. He may have been the only person in this country that thought Cincy was going to win on Sunday (even though AJ Green was definitely held on that next to last play).
The worst are Dan Dierdorf, Joe Buck, and Kenny Albert....although the second two are just play by play guys.
