So uhh, back to the actual topic of this thread? I give the announcers credit for at least talking. I like hearing the stories about the Pirates back in the day and I actually enjoy it that they say stupid stuff...it takes away from the pain of the actual game.

If you can be a better GM go out and do it.

I'd love to....problem is I have to actually get hired for the job. Chances of that without the proper connections are slim to none.

I enjoy Walk and Blass.

Brown is entertaining simply because he may be the most excited man in history.

I'm indifferent to Wehner. Kinda boring but also relatively inexperienced.

I just find Lanny to be bland. I don't feel he adds much to the telecast and at times seems very dismissive of the color commentator's opinions and comments.

Its just for thrills at this point Grey, kind of like rubbernecking at accidents. You know you arent likely to see much, but there is always the chance you might. Plus, you might run into your own accident if you participate.

Life should be fun like that, in a sick kind of way.

The numbers on the far left belong to Ben Roethlisberger (career numbers).

The numbers on the far right belong to Kyle Boller (career numbers).

The numbers in the middle belong to Elle Manning (career numbers).

Gabe, PF82 doesn't have time for stats.

He also doesn't have time to actually watch all these QB's.

So if Eli Manning is the lead story on ESPN more often than Ben, he MUST be a better QB. Not to mention the constant gushing from Chris Berman and all the New York media.

You can be so obtuse sometimes, Gabe.

as an outsider this is the best thread I've ever read...

anyway gabe in the future when typing out a chart you may try using [ pre ] and [/ pre ]

thus:

Passer Rating: --------98.3------75.9----69.2
Completion Percentage: 64.7------51.6----55.6
Yards Per Pass Attempt:8.64------6.37----5.37

becomes:


Passer Rating: ---------98.3------75.9----69.2
Completion Percentage: 64.7------51.6----55.6
Yards Per Pass Attempt: 8.64------6.37----5.37

I kinda lignore PF82 ever since he said Mike Vick was a good QB.....Mike Vick is overated.


Anyways with the annoucers....


Greg Brown----at least he still cares
Bob Walk------good insight and usuallys says what we're thinking, works well with Brown, Greg sets him up to say what we're thinking
John Wehner-----good knowledge but that sp,sp,sp,sp,spppppeeeeech in pppppppped i ment drives me nuts.
Blass----smart guy but I've heard all these stories before over and over and over and....
Lanny-----don't think he really cares anymore.

I think that when I was 17, we had a rule that you had to crush a 1 quart beer can against your forehead if you ever mentioned that band. Just a slight twist on the "Monday, Monday" drinking game.
