Don’t know how Aqib Talib got a gig broadcasting NFL games. He doesn’t have the voice or the grammar.

Some fans (like me) enjoy the authenticity, and the colloquial enthusiasm is refreshing. He also knows a lot about the game schematically and has played with or against many of the players in the league so he has cool stories and insight.

Not everyone has to speak Queens English to be a broadcaster. There’s a large segment of the country who can relate and enjoy his style of commentary.

Does Ben have any throw power? or Did McCloud not run deep enough?

Still scoreless in Vegas.

Yeah I don't think he's that bad. The rest of the guys sound the same.

Bro. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Please delete.

Eagles will likely be playing for a WC spot still. So it'll mean something. Plus we will likely be trying to get a 1/2 seed.

I should have better clarified it there is zero chance the division is on the line.

Damn the Giants are terrible

they are so bad the FO is saying they are staying with judge !
That means they think there is no other coach better than judge lol.

Yup, he’s the probably first commentator ever who uses common or pop culture vernacular in his broadcasts. I admit it’s not for everyone but 90% of broadcasters use the same cliches and academic English. It’s cool to hear someone relate to different populations.

I never thought John Madden sounded like a broadcaster. The first time I heard him in the booth I didn’t think he would last a year.

 

[Buzzbait]

TD Kansas City!!

 

[Runwildboys]

Does no one in here have faith in the Cowboys to win tonight? Who cares about all these other “needs”, they just need to win tonight and the division is ours.

Well, as much as I think we'll win, I'd be able to enjoy the game just a smidge more if I knew we had the division locked up.

That’s interesting yeah I guess he used to be impersonated/made fun of a lot for his rambling style of speech. He’s all timer though for sure.

Frank Caliendo has his style down pat lol.

Time for Pittyburger to rebuild. Starting with the entire coaching staff then quarterback/players.

 

[DandyDon52]

Also eagles were very bad early in the game, I switched to the pats game.
Pats couldnt stop buffalo. I dont think their defense is good enough , bill needs to re evaluate how to play a team like buffalo.

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

Crazier things have happened. And the NFL would love nothing more than for the Jan.9 Cowboys-Eagles game to mean something more than just simple seeding.

It will probably determine whether we make the playoffs, which is more than enough reason for us to get up for it…. And for you.

They aren’t letting Tomlin go. He’d be hired within seconds with a blank check from 28-30 different organizations. One of the best coaches in the game today and a future HOFer.

Jerry said he was sticking with Garrett, right up until he decided otherwise. Still games left to play, so Mara might just be blowing smoke up...

I think staying with judge isn’t the worst idea, but the only way to see if judge can be better would be to give him a better QB. Staying with judge AND Jones is not a recipe for anything when all 3 other teams are very clearly better.

 

[DandyDon52]

And why are the eagles uni's black !!!!!!! their colors are green and white, and now these ugly black things.
Too many teams going black or colors so dark they look black, it doesnt look colorful at all.
