When Football Night In America started, I thought I would enjoy it, although I knew I would miss Chris Berman and Tom Jackson doing the highlights on ESPN. I'm thinking ABC should have trucked those guys in for their prime time show. Bringing back Dan Patrick is horrible. Teaming him with former partner and bleeding heart liberal puke Keith Olbermann is even worse. They think it's 1990 and it's still cute to try to outwit each other during highlights. Putting these two with Bob Costas makes for three idiots trying to outsmart each other. I used to hate Colinsworth back when he first started announcing in the early 90's, but now he's clearly the smartest football guy in the room. Barber and Bettis, try as they may, cannot even begin to compete with Chris. They never say anything that wasn't totally obvious to even the most casual of football fans. What it comes down to is that I want to watch the clips and hear nothing else. I might have to start going online to find them or check out NFL Network to see who does them there. I think Dion Sanders might help so I probably can't watch that either. How the heck hard is it to find two people to read clips who don't annoy me? I swear Olbermann and Patrick are so smug they must gloat at each other's lines during commercial breaks. What a pair of losers. God, I hate announcers.

Boring NFL Clips

Do not watch these guys. You have already identified them, correctly so, as idiots.
If an idiot was preaching his/her babble on your street corner would you listen? Hell no, you wouldn't give them the time of day. So why do you torture yourself with these inane pre-game and mid-game shows?
All of network television is absurd and mindless anyway. Why do we expect sports coverage to be any different?
Do yardwork, cut the grass, or help your wife with the laundry before the game. At halftime get a cold one, release the cold ones you've already downed, and get some fresh snacks. Throw the frisbee for the cats. Just don't watch those idiots. You're not their target audience anyway. It's the people who are watching football for the first time they are targeting... and may God help them.
i want to see the clips of the other games....nothing to do with anything else. not pregame....not post game. just clips.
