His comment that the NFL stands for Not For Long... was most apt. He told you things about the players and their play from the stance of a "good Ol' Boy" but backed up by Head Coaching experience.

He mighty be corny but so was Johnny Most. I liked him when he did it before Randy Cross.

Jerry Glanville is the man I mean. Announcer and ex-Head coach of Houston and Atlanta.

And like I said in the first thread, I tried this with the NFL Field Pass thing and it didn't work for the same reason.

And then on top of it, the only way you can cancel the bloody thing is to call an 800 number and talk to some guy in India who you can barely understand.

I think we get him because he's fairly well known and he probably works for cheap. Plus, now he's been doing it so long, he and Criqui (who I think is worse in terms of saying goofy things) are sort of part of the preseason landscape.

It's sort of like Gil and Gino only nowhere near as endearing.
