Rodney Harrison's Booth Debut

[Triumph]

Rodney looks like a million bucks as of late. Anyone else notice his slick but not Cam Newton Pimp jacket, shirt and tie combinations? If I was going to copy anyone to look good that would be Rodney.

I like how Rodney was arguing with Tirico at one point about what happened after a play.

Titico mentioned Atlanta scoring before the half and getting the ball back in Q3 and scoring again like Belichick. Mr Potato Head Tony Dungy spoke right up to change the subject. Potato Head said that he and BB dont get along some time back after he quit coaching.

You be the judge.

I had enough of Tony Dungy near half-time. His vice put me to sleep.

Could you imagine both Romo And Harrison being the tandem in the booth? I'd actually enjoy the play calling as well as the reparte' between the two of them.

 

[fair catch fryar]

Don Criqui, Randy Cross, Dan diedorf?

You mean Elmer Fudd, Daffy Duck and Porky Pig?

Agree.

Rodney has an edge to him whereas Romo is easy going.

I think it would work out ok.

Why would Bruschi want to leave the climate controlled, risk free environment provided by ESPN?? Bruschi seems quite content in his current sitz, it provides him a very well paying gig and he gets to sleep in his own bed every night...

Every once in a while this comes up along with him being a position coach or coordinator, why would any man want to work 70+ hours per week if he can do what he loves in half the time... I suspect he gets well paid by ESPN.

That wasn’t even my question lol I was just mentioning that he was an ex Pat in the business as well.

Elmer Fudd will always be Paul Maguire.

Mr Potato Head Tony Dungy

Oh, wow. Can't unsee.

 

[everlong]

 

[jah]

Don Criqui, Randy Cross, Dan diedorf?

Not counting preseason guys (too easy), Spero Dedes and Thom Brennaman would be a tough combo to sit through.

 

[TinhWoodhead]

These guys are better than the MNF crew. How sad is that

high school crew

In October 2007, in Romo's second season as the starter, the 'Boys went into a MNF game as 11-point favorites and eked out a 25-24 win on a Nick Folk 53-yd FG as time expired. Romo threw 5 INT, including 2 pick-sixes.

Coming off the field, Romo was buttonholed by the sideline reporter, who asked, "How does it feel to come away with a win after throwing 5 interceptions?"

Romo chuckled and said, "Five? Really? I thought it was, like, twelve!", and then went on to praise "his guys" for bailing him out. There wasn't anything rehearsed or "canned". He was very self-effacing, friendly, enthusiastic and bantering with ease. The sideline reporter was the one who seemed like a stiff.

Probably could have predicted Romo's move into the broadcast booth right then and there.

Some people are just much better at speaking in public extemporaneously than others. For those "others", when it comes to the broadcast booth, those pre-game production meetings are partly for creating pre-scripted talking points so they'll always have something at least tangential to say - so that there's no dreaded "dead air".

Romo is refreshing, not only because he knows his stuff, but because he doesn't need a script. Harrison is a lot like Romo. Witten is one of those "others" (for now). Fouts sticks to the script most of the time because he's an idiot.

I just can't take Mr. Potato Head.

NBC's broadcast and production quality is far and away the best in the business NFL-wise IMO. Obviously Al Michaels is one of the best to do it and while I am not a big fan of Colinsworth (and his conflict of interest with PFF) I don't think he is as bad as everyone acts like he is. I think Rodney and Dungy do a great job pregame and at half time as well. The camera angles and views NBC has are much better than any of the other primetime broadcasts. On the other end of the spectrum the MNF crew is the worst I have seen since they experimented with Dennis Miller. It's a train wreck. Booger is blocking fans and seems to make a lot of hot takes while Witten butchers common phrases and offers no real value. Tessitoire isn't great and he seems to be the anti Mcdonough and gets excited and screams for absolutely everything.

Rodney needs to relax more. Have more fun he's always way too serious. Especially in studio

Dennis Miller and his damn references!

Dennis Miller and his damn references!

Miller truly sucked. Being obtuse isn't the same as being funny. If it were then mosslost would be the second coming of Richard Pryor.

 

[PlanB]

don't forget the always unlistenable Dan Fouts

If you honestly think Dung-heap "does a great job", I'm not sure what else to say.

I had enough of Tony Dungy near half-time. His vice put me to sleep.

I can't even imagine what Dungy's vice is.

Oh wait, I remember, driving homosexual sons to suicide.
