combatbengal Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 I watched the rerun of the game Sunday and the only thing that made me sick, was hearing Joe Talk. This guy actully said that the Bengals uniforms were ugly. I hated him when he played and I still hate him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingwilly Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Buddy, you are on the mark. He is the WORST announcer of NFL games.I cringe on Sunday nights. At least mcGuire argues with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacD BengalFan Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 I watched the game as well with Mike Patrick and Joe Thiesman calling it and that comment stuck in my crawl as well. Apparently he forgot about the Bronco's uni with that stupid stripe cutting across the chest and Brown's all orange traffic cone uni's. They are the ugliest in the NFL. So what does Joe know? Eh?

bengalboomer7 Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 I always like to bring up this little tidbit I found out about Joe Theisman. That is not how you pronounce his last name. Notre Dame talked him into changing it to rhyme with Heisman. His name is actually pronounced THEESMAN. Always thought that was funny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalByTheBay Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Yeah, my dad told me that a couple of years ago and I just couldn't believe it was true. Since then I've heard it from other sources, so I tend to believe it. What a ridiculous thing to do. All would be forgiven if he was a half-decent color guy but he really, seriously sucks.

combatbengal Posted August 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 When I was a kid, my dad was stationed in VA. 14 miles from DC. I had to put up with his trash talk then. Every friday night he would talk about how he was going to destroy the other team on Sunday. Then we had to listen to more crap on monday. I wish LT would of broken his jaw too.

andybren Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 One good thing Theisman said during the game...when the other color guy (didn't catch his name, former center for the Redskins) suggested that the Bengals might trade Chris Perry, Theisman was very quick in response: "Oh, no, they definitely wouldn't do that". He then went on to talk about the Staley/Bettis situation, etc. It almost made me forget that he suggested the Bengals' uniforms would keep them out of the playoffs.

BengalszoneBilly Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 I love watching his inury, its just great! Go watch it youl feel better! Actually I don't. I've watched it all I need to.

Section 310 Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 My hope is that the "improved" Bengals will no longer draw the colorteam of Don Crique and Steve Tasker. Those two SUCK... I try to listen to the radio and watch the game, but it doesn't work well withsatelite. The radio is 2-3 seconds faster than the tv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pause the game for a couple seconds and start it up again and the radio is in sync with the tv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraith Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 I'll never forget Theisman calling Chad Johnson, Charles throughout the entire Pro Bowl. I kept thinking is this guy drunk? I mean I can understand mispronouncing Houshmandzadeh or forgetting the name of some scrub in a pre-season game but Chad Johnson has been the best WR in the AFC for two years how do you call him Charles 15 times. Plum embarrassing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spain Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Are anouncer here did the same thing, I wonder if there is something to this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
combatbengal Posted August 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 TIVO is the bomb! I love it! I wonder if any of these announcers are trained to do the job. What are the qualifications for that job anyways. These guys are being paid big bucks to talk about football (some have no idea about the game) and yet we have soldiers dying for us who aren't getting paid crap. Only in America.

I use it all the time. My wife's mouth drops every time I catch something that had a profound effect on a play that the color commenter never sees. I just wish ESPN would do a Dream Job for color analyst. No way I could lose!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

combatbengal Posted August 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 I'd like to see someone put more then a foot in his mouth. Maybe we can all chip in and pay a dentist to wire his mouth shut! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
