Speaking of NFL quarterbacks

[slag]

or, more precisely, an ex-NFL QB ... notwithstanding his objectionable pedigree, Romo was pretty fucking good yesterday.

He was predicting shit on the fly based on reads of offensive and defensive alignments repeatedly ... particularly down the stretch.

He's become one of the few guys that have me leaving the sound on when I watch.

I can handle him better...

...than Joe Suck and Acheman

[slag]

He reads plays and actually analyzes, often telling me details about which I otherwise would have no clue ... as opposed to the "no shit Sherlock" crap that most of the other guys say like "they need to get pressure on the QB here" etc.

EDITED TO ADD: Not that he doesn't do some of that shit, but its not all he does.

At times he sounds as if he genuinely

Like you said, not the obvious crap or the snotty “I know more than you do” so dominate in the Collinsworth approach.

I haven’t checked but who is doing the SB?

at calling out situational football for games like Romo. Great football knowledge but couldn’t deliver on the field so I have no problems with him.

You're all wet there Queenie

As an Igglephan, shame on you!

Way back, Tommy Brookshier did color with Pat Summerall. Tommy practically called every play before the snap. CBS was not amused and changed him to play by play.

You were, however, spot on with the "could not deliver on the field" comment.

[Spartan92]

he would be a pretty good DC as he is almost always right on what the play is.. Someone should hire the dude - would be better than Schwartz

[slag]

I just checked ... Nance and Romo

[Drama Queen]

The best crew ever. Good call.

He didn’t deliver on the field and that is very endearing to me. I will always be grateful for that.

Speaking of... I really need to donate to the Go Fund Me page to keep Jerry Jones alive forever.

[McCarthy12]

I wish he'd let the game breathe a bit. I like him more than I care to admit but he needs to learn when to stop talking.

[art vandelay]

He definitely knows the game.

I would say he needs to let up on his sound effects, but I think that's his trademark at this point. He's always like "OOOOO hohoho!"

To poop on

[Ellsworth]

💯

[slag]

They all do too much of that.

But, for me, he says something worth hearing enough times to make wading through that shit more tolerable.

[royal]

He should have used these talents to read defenses when he was playing.
