Default commentators mnf

is it just me or did it seem like they were rooting for mia? Or maybe just wanted a close game.

also, what was with the comment about the pats taking advantage of the east coast and being fresh (don't remember exact words) . Both teams are from east coast and the pats travelled, not the phins. Either really dumb comment or me really dumb.

on the positive, I liked the FedEx a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a auto repair commercial

Not just you, they almost sounded like they could coach Miami if they got a chance. It was annoying at times. It was always what Miami had to do to cause harm to us. I guess they wanted an upset.

It was very apparent, and more than a little annoying.

I thin Gruden is funny as F man...he just seems to really enjoy the game, and have a good time with his job...the other guys suck though.

Personally, I have no problem with it. TV announcers always have a rooting interest: they're pulling for compelling television. That's their job. Often it means talking up the underdog to convince viewers it's going to be a tighter game than they think. Occasionally it means fawning over greatness...and as the MNF boys realized that Brady was entering record-setting territory, they happily switched to that mode.

I don't know, I thought that also during the game, but I just got done re-watching it and the praise for Brady, Belichick and the Pats was pretty extensive. Overall, I thought they were more than fair, which isn't often the case in my opinion during night games.

Big Pats homo here. I saw it as respect for the Pats superiority them saying that if Miami wants to run with the big dog they need to do X, Y and Z. Not rooting for the Phins.

The East Coast remark perplexed me too. Perhaps in his mind he was contrasting the Pats same time zone trip with what say the Chaagiz hafta do flying cross country Saturday. Who knows?

Gruden got his seasonal four-letter slip in there.

Seriously though, I noticed their "coaching" of the Dolphins too, but I guess I'm used to it because it didn't bother me a whole lot. I thought it was funny when Gruden said, "All the Dolphins need is a big play on defense."

Queue the interception, TD, and then the Pats strike back. There's Gruden a few minutes later, "Now all they need is another big play on defense."
