Anyone else happy NBC is doing SB 49?

I know Collinsworth can be really annoying at times, but I generally enjoy Al Michaels commentary.

Joe Buck (Fox) is the most boring, soulless, 'prime game' announcer. Also, I don't know if I could take YET another game announced by Jim Nantz and Simms' perpetual stupidity.

I also enjoy Rodney doing halftime shows because he usually gets a nice interview with a Patriots player or BB, which I'm sure will be the case again.

I can live with collinsworth being the announcer.

You would have thought nantz and simms where colts fans in the beginning of that game.

Can live with collinsworth. Grown a bit on me. Simms and Buck are AWFUL

I love Collinsworth. Collinsworth loves the Patriots and calls the games fair. He's also a huge Brady fan, so when we win, he'll start giving speeches about GOAT status.

Phil Simms is a piece of garbage. Did you hear him this Sunday trying to credit the entire Patriots run on Belichick as if he read the latest Peyton apologist arguments after his choke to Indy?

Simms wanted us to lose that game so bad because his BFF Peyton went down miserably to Indianapolis. It was so transparent and pathetic.

Collinsworth will be most welcome.

inb4 Katty Perry wardrobe malfunction.

If she wears anything like in her Music Videos i expect something to happen.

No, but I'm glad to be in the super bowl at all.

Fox doing SB 42 ruined Fox Super Bowls for me. And I hate Joe Buck, so I'm just thankful.

NBC is fine, anthough I can still here Collingsworth say "That's a catch he makes 100 out of 100 times" after Welker's awful drop. Hopefully Edelman makes that key catch, should the situation come up.

Collinsworth/Michaels (NBC) and Gruden/Tirico (ESPN) are my favorite

Is it wrong that I'm happy Welker gets to watch the Patriots in the Superbowl from his house after his new BFF choked to that sorry Indy team?

I like nbc the best with fox second. Hate cbs. Simms and nantz were actively rooting against the pats in the broadcast and ESPN just flat out sucks.

I wish it was Socci and Zolak

Prefer NBC announcers but I wish the game was on CBS or FOX because NBC HD video quality is always ****. They seriously have the worst broadcast bandwidth out of all NFL carriers.

I wish you guys could watch a game with commentaries from these two from ESPN Brazil. They are hilarious and also very knowledgeable. The one on the left is a Packers fan and the one on the right is a Dolphins fan, but he always praise the Patriots a lot, and the way he talks whenever the Dolphins are mentioned is hilarious too, lol.

Oh, and just for curiosity's sake, here ALL NFL games are broadcasted by ESPN, which has exclusivity of the rights here, so sometimes we get NBC images, sometimes FOX or CBS, but always with the ESPN logo on top of it.

I prefer CBS but NBC is cool.

I'm just glad it isn't Fox. I hate the monotone voice of Buck/Aikman and their crappy camera angles. Compared to other broadcasts, it feels like I am watching the game zoomed in and missing out on a lot of action.

Anyone but sims and nancy.

I've hated Joe Buck since Moss's faux mooning of Greenbay. Buck's false outrage always irritated me. However, over the last few years, I've softened on him a bit - but I can't I can't understand why they pair him up with Aikman. There is no tonal contrast and they just blend in to one nasaly drone.

I actually like Collinsworth, as he seems pretty fair and objective in his commentary. He's been there, and so knows what he's talking about, but he also doesn't seem to go overboard. Should be a great game.

I will also go on record as liking John Gruden and Mike Tirico. Gruden's knowledge of the game, and his anecdotes are respectable, and not over the top like some color commenters.

Love NBC and CBS broadcast. Hate fox.

Don't understand the hate for Nantz and Simms. No broadcast team that's done more Pats games than them.

I used to like Simms, but he's not providing much useful insight anymore, and some of the commentary from them on Sunday was just mindless drivel, stating the obvious with a tone that implied they were adding useful information.

Always enjoy Collinsworth and Tirico. Too bad they can't work together.
