Steve Tasker is the worst TV commentator the Patriots have ever dealt with

[Bella*chick]

You're thinking of another speedy, white Buffalo WR: Don Beebe

No, I don't think I am.

eta: Hey, it was Don Beebe. That's so weird, I have an entirely different memory and according to the google search I just ran, so do a lot of other people.

They were unbelievably awful. Did hit mute in the third quarter. Going to have to get the new surround sound set up so I can just play the radio when we get garbage announcers

 

[BradyFTW!]

Tasker is a punch drunk ex-Bill. He has ALWAYS hated the Patriots.

If you want exhibit A in how debilitating brain injuries are to ex-players, you can start with this guy. I have to assume he wasn't always this much of a bumbling idiot.

 

[Delicate Genius]

He was terrible, so was Criqui. The good thing is that was CBS's sixth string pairing, so we probably won't have to hear his stupidity again during a Pats game.

Criqui was only calling the game because the winter storm down in Texas screwed up travel for Bill Macatee.

 

[Ozymandias]

Tasker and Criqui were brutal today. I had to turn the game on mute (something I rarely do for Patriots games) until the final two drives because of how poor he was as a commentator.

 

[JMC00]

I tried to warn you guys of the bad news. You can stomach Tasker some of the game with Macatee. But as soon as I read Criqui was subbing for Macatee I actually thought to myself Gumbel and Dierdorf doesn't sound half bad compared to them.

 

[Delicate Genius]

"And there's an injured Patriot on the field. It's Devin McCourty."

*McCourty stands with his back to the camera while Dennard is tended to*

 

[brady77]

"The Patriots' mantra is one word: Situational football."

 

[PATRlOT]

That was also the worst play-by-play performance I've ever listened to in my life. Who is that clown? It's like he just learned football last night.

I know!

It was THIS close to putting my TV on mute. The past 2 weeks have had AWFUL commentary.

 

[Rob0729]

As they advised at the beginning of the game, I hit my SAP button on my remote and they were much better in Spanish.

 

[cmasspatsfan]

How about when Edelman got hit in the face by the Dbag Dback on the Browns, Tasker thought it wasn't a penalty and was a good hit with the shoulder. he hit him in the face moron!

When they showed the replay Tasker excitedly said "there might have been a pick as well."

:singing: There was nothing close to a pick.

 

[Uncle Rico]

Trasker made me miss Beasley Reece.

 

[Angry Man]

I unplugged the center speaker on my surround sound. Tasker suddenly disappeared from the sound and left me with a nice 4.1 mix of the stadium audio.

 

[Jangles]

I wanted to make this thread several times.

That was absolutely unbearable.

Excellent. I had the thing on mute until a flag was thrown, but I guess I should have altered the settings on the tuner to do the same thing. What was outrageous was the combination of bias against the Patriots and ignorance of the rules (e.g. the hit to the head).

I just unplugged one of the wires in my center speaker. No adjustments needed to be done to my surround sound setup beyond that. Keep in mind to do this you need to have the Dolby 5.1 surround sound that's on the HD feed. If you only have stereo this method won't work (so that also kills this method for anyone using say Sunday Ticket online).

Even I know that the commentators have to give props to BOTH teams because you've got at least both markets if not a national broadcast. You need to give some love to both teams. And have a little bit of a clue on the rules and officiating.

Today was terrible!!! We didn't get the B team. We got the F team.

Yeah I can understand for a national game that the commentators having to be neutral with stuff. But these two goons today from the little bit I tolerated them were highly annoying to the point of me unplugging my center speaker just so I can concentrate on the game. Not to mention what the hell was up with the camera angles and overall editing/production? The field camera was way too low and was very hard to tell at times what was going on.

 

[jsull87]

Holy **** that guy was unbearable and deserves his own topic of hate.

Thank god someone made this thread.

I am not from america so can you tell me a few things...

Did that guy play for the browns? Did the Patriots do something to him as a child? Did Brady steal his girlfriend?

He legitimately seemed to be rooting for the Browns. E.G at every 50/50 "oooooh no i think Gostkowski touched that" e.t.c

I was actually trying to find the option on my Game Pass to change to any other comentary but this game didn't have it.

He kept getting all of the players names wrong "Jeremy Cameron" e.t.c

If i wasn't so jubilant after this win i'd be more annoyed
