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.

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? <_<

B) 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 B)

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.

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.

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.

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. The media just kept looping and looping the damn film for days after it happened. Got my fill way back then.

My hope is that the "improved" Bengals will no longer draw the color

team 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 with

satelite. The radio is 2-3 seconds faster than the tv.

Thats what TIVO is for. Pause the game for a couple seconds and start it up again and the radio is in sync with the tv.

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.

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!!!
