He talks like the audience is full of children.


The play-by-play guy wasn't good either.

JJ threw a pass way behind Shep, and Edwards berated Shep for not making the catch.

He refused to blame Jefferson for anything. It was very odd.

Would you say he is to football commentary what JJ is to quarterbacking?

JJ put up a heisman performance compared to Herm

yeah, that was stupid, not all the shite he said was true, but some of it was, especially about Crowton.

Herm was not good, but that other guy doing play by play was the worst I have ever heard and I mean ever.

He was insisting that penalties were causing the offense to shoot themselves in the foot, which by itself is not a wrong statement except that we had 0 offensive penalties at that time

He must have been relieved with the first t-bob penalty

I like Herm as a pro analyst. He was unwatchable Saturday. I can't imagine he would have any desire to be there.

He WAS horrible. Half the time, (if not more), the stuff they were saying wasn't even accurate.

Is ESPNU the short-straw of assignments?
