    I loathe chris colinsworth though...he creates bad thoughts for me in their purest forms
    The problem with Colinsworth for me is that he sounds like he is going through puberty. I do not find his insights that bad but his voice is cringe inducing.

    Too long ago for you, but my favorite NFL announcer was Merlin Olsen. Dick Enberg too, but he did everything and talking about him as merely calling football seems an injustice. I also have to say that Romo is pretty damned polished for a new guy.

      Romo is the best

          The Pats** got help from Al Riveron to beat the Jets the first time they played...
          Actually, my post was NOT about you...but, if the shoe fits, feel free to lace that &!+€# up and wear it.

            I'm not a NYCity conspiracy theorist when it comes to the Pats or any team for that matter. However, I do enjoy bustin tiproast's chops a bit because I think he's a good fan of the Pats and football in general. If they have Al 'Shady' Riveron on payroll, then so be it, we have to beat the Pats and Al.

              Well, get used to hearing it more, because Cris' son signed with ESPN right out of college a few months ago, and the dude is a freaking clone of his old man...looks just like him when he was that age, and sounds EXACTLY like him as well. It's freaky. I swear the Collinsworths got involved with the Dolly the Sheep scientists, because it's the closest thing to a straight up human clone that I have ever seen (and, in this case, heard).
              Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

              Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

              We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

              We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

                Well, we did the annual "let's see what happens when the offensive line plays like hot garbage" game in Miami. Wasn't that enough?

                  Clearly not, the Steelers are still the #2 seed with the same record as the Patriots, really needed the same against the Jets.

                    Schedule goes as follows:

                    6 games against division rivals
                    4 games against the entirety of one division within your conference.
                    2 games against similarly placed teams in your conference by neither in your division nor the intra conference division you play that year (this is why we keep getting NE)
                    4 games against the entirety of one division in the other conference.

                      In order of preference:
                      1) Romo
                      2) Colinsworth
                      3) Gruden
                      4) Tirico

                      Last place - That chick that does late West games, yoi. Sorry Ladies, I like my announcers to have a little more testosterone in their voice.

                            After hearing Gruden call the last Steelers game, I do also.
