    Hell, have Uncle Verne drive up from Steamboat to do it.
    That would have been very cool.

    Can't you guys appreciate the shitshow this broadcast is on an annual basis?

    Whereas that crews' fastball last night topped out at about 8.
    Awful performance from top to bottom.

    Try catching a Sunday afternoon feed sometime for a game like Ravens-Bengals or Cardinals-Bucs that gets shown over the air to maybe 5 percent of America. There's a mishmash, high school drama club feel to a lot of broadcasts.

    There was the year Mike and Mike did it.

    There was the year Boomer and Dilfer were apparently watching a different game.

    Besides the sideline guy last night, I thought Mowins and Ryan were too competent, and the shitshow factor was low.

    Between the sideline reporter's debut and finding the wrong black guy to identify as coach, though, that's pretty memorable.

    If the SD coach didn't have the silver beard, i couldn't have been able to tell the opposing coaches apart.

    Golic and Sons are proof of white privilege.

    Did he seriously say he studied 9/11 in elementary school?

    Man that was painful on so many fronts.

    I didn't think it was possible, but the Seattle O-line looks even worse this year.
    Lane being ejected for punching was a bad (and false) call, but he's not too good anyway so it wasn't a big loss overall. No PI being called when Graham was being mugged in the end zone was a bigger deal.

    Surprising. This didn't age well.

    Where's that Big Mac. His football takes are awful.
