TV announcers

[WhyAlwaysMe]

A million times better than stuffed corporate garbage. Very perceptive and good energy. I majored in English, so I know a bit of what I speak, and commentary of a live sporting event isn’t a term paper or a newspaper article. Caring about the man’s grammar in this context suggests some other likely hang-ups, but I digress.

I liked Talib. I don't mind someone being different. And I can't remember another CB color guy who had good insight on the defensive side of the passing game for a change of pace.

It also made me realize that we're not as bad at reading defenses as I had assumed. Multiple times he said cover 2 run up the middle should be there and we did, or it's man on the outside go to Hopkins and we did. It made me feel a bit better rather than thinking we were misreading defenses all the time.

Best commentary ever by a tablecloth.

Your privliege is showing...

Took a while to get used the way he was talking.

Needs to clean up the "mans" and practice some enunciating.

But he knows his stuff for sure.

Agree. I didn't like him at first but really did by the end of the game.

 

[Krangodnzr]

Loved his enthusiasm and his insight.

Few color guys get as technical as he did. He seemed like he actually enjoyed watching the game.

Im in the same boat. Didn't like it at first but he grew in me. At least it wasn't baldy or Schlereth.

Talib's best line after a Hopkins catch, "Hop doin what Hop do".

 

[RugbyMuffin]

He’s been right on and clearly did some research before going on. Poor speaker but he knows what he’s talking about. I’ve watched too many cards games with color guys who clearly have never watched a game

+1

I guess being from the NYC-Philly area makes it easier for me to understand him clear as day.

I liked him as the color guy, very informative and gave quick analysis.

.....we have had MUCH worse from FOX.

 

[RugbyMuffin]

Man, you know, man, you know, man, mannnnnnn

LOL. No doubt.

But in my case, I cannot throw stones from glass houses my man.

I have a hard time hearing the announcers with that atrocious piped in crowd noise. My hearing aids (yes, I am old) just pick up the roar that driowns out a lot of what they say. But what I heard Talib knows his stuff. The “mans” are a bit much but that doesn’t put me off too much. Not the worst crew the Cards have had IMO.

My wife and I agreed in the 2nd half to take a drink every time Talib said "man". Who ended up winning?

Man, I'm hopin' Talib does our game on Sat, man...man, it would be key, man.




No seriously, I really liked his take, and how he explained the more technical stuff and not "breaking down" the painfully obvious like most color analysts do.



More Talib!!
