They always seem awkward and just don’t have any chemistry together. The broadcast commentary is as boring as watching paint dry.

They aren’t too bad. Herbie is top notch. Al needs to just retire. He called the TE of the Bears that he came from Penn State.. an obvious goof.

Herbie's gaffe at the end of the ND/BYU game where he said ND had to go for the touchdown when that was obvious since they were down 4 is enough to knock him below top notch.

I legit don’t think he ever knows what the hell is going on in the game. He speculated that Vrabel told his guys to jump offside on 3rd down to not waste a timeout.

That is one of the dumber things I’ve ever heard

I still say Pam Ward and Danny Kanell is the worst.

I find it funny that every fan bitches about every commentator.

Tonight I watched every play of the NFL game and scrolled the NBA games for scores (76/cavs) and followed my parlays- never once did I hear what either of the 2 in booth had to say.

Why is this a big deal? About these booth guys comments or why would they be boring.

Next game just mute the TV and put your favorite band on your radio. It’s very simple and less stressful to find shite to be mad about

They all say stupid shite- now imagine for second we had to listen to “you” tell us what we just saw for 3 hours? Ya you would suck too

Al sounds really old and tired on broadcasts. I think he should retire.

Herbie is fine but I think he should stick with college football.

Kirk is really good, Michaels definitely drags him down.

Don't lump CBree in with all LSU fans. He is one of the dumbest individuals on this entire board.
