Pat Summerall is drunk at the Cotton Bowl again

[matcom]

:eyes:

Seriously. Who the hell hires this bozo year after year? He sucks. He has ALWAYS sucked. Now he is drunk (again). He doesn't know the names of the players, can BARELY follow the plays, half the time he says it was a catch when the fucking referee is CLEARLY calling it incomplete on the field and i'm not even sure he knows where exactly he is!

Please don't tell me someone actually PAYS him to drool on my TV year after year.

THAT would be a travesty!

[Beausoir]

1. Is he really drunk? Didn't he get a new liver?

I heard his voice but wasn't sure if it was him.

I honestly thought he had passed away.

[Rabrrrrrr]

2. What station is he on? I'd like to tune in and listen to the jackass.

6. OMG, he's HORRIBLE!!!

"He's close to the first down. Oh, no he's not...he's just close to the first down marker."

Um... :wtf:

[matcom]

7. it's the Makers Mark

:rofl:

[huskerlaw]

8. He was close to the first down

before he was nowhere near it...

:rofl:

[matcom]

9. "and the runner is running"

"and he got nothing. now it's 2nd down and 5"

:rofl:

[huskerlaw]

13. From the first quarter:

re: Taylor... "Throwing actually makes his arm stronger. The more he throws, the stronger he will get."

No shit, Sherlock. :eyes:

[huskerlaw]

10. And also...

Leave it to Fox to put a fucking virtual arrow on the field, whereby even monkeys can keep up with the game (though apparently that's not enough for the announcers).

One would think that the field marker, the virtual line of scrimmage, and the virtual first down line were enough, but no.

We apparently also need the gi-fucking-normous arrow, telling us the down count, the yards, and which fucking team has the ball.

:dunce:

[Oeditpus Rex]

12. Next Faux innovation:

In NASCAR coverage, a big virtual arrow showing viewers the direction the cars are going.

[matcom]

14. a giant arrow always pointing to the left

:rofl:

[Rabrrrrrr]

16. AND THEN JOHN MADDEN CIRCLING THE WRECKAGE

AND SAYING 'AND YOU CAN SEE THE FLAMEBALL HERE' THEN A QUICK REWIND AND 'HE CAME FROM HERE' (GO FORWARD) AND THEN HIT HERE (BIG ARROWS, GIANT CIRCLE CIRCLED 18 TIMES) HIT THIS CAR (CIRCLE THAT CAR) AND THAT CAR (CIRCLE THAT ONE) AND THIS ONE (MORE CIRCLES) AND THEN, HERE (BIG EXCLAMATION POINT) HE FINALLY BURST INTO FLAMES (LOTS OF SCRIBLING AROUND FLAMES) AND HIS CHARRED BODY WAS BLOWN OUT AND LANDED HERE (BIG ARROW; THEN PAN OVER TO BODY - DRAWS 'HEAT WAVE LINES' OVER BODY, GIGGLING; THEN MADDEN DEMANDS THAT PIT CREW REFUSE OFFICIALS CALL AND DEMAND INSTANT-REPLAY CHECK BEFORE DISQUALIFICATION WITH A DRUNK PAT SUMMERALL SAYING 'CLEARLY, NO CALL WAS NECESHARY THERE, THAT BODY ISHN'T BURNING AND I WONDER IF THE REFEERRRESSSSHHHHH EVEN KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING IN THAT TRACK THIHNG WITH THE CARSH GO LOOPY LOOPY LOOOOOPY' AND HE FALLS OUT OF HIS CHAIR AND MICROPHONE PICKS HIM UP THROWING UP FOR A FULL TWO MINUTES.

[matcom]

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

17. Who hires this bozo???

I'm a little offended (very little) that you would disparage "bozos" by comparing to Pat Summerall.

:)

[fishwax]

19. He's been awful for years

I don't know how he lasted as long as he did. When you're pulled along on John Madden's coattails, you're in trouble :rofl:

[Zomby Woof]

20. John Madden ate his liver once

With some fava beans and a nice chianti. :puke:

21. I'm so tired of watching the coach-on-the-sideline shot

A little late with this post. I was at my son's house and saw some of the game.

Will they never tire of showing the coach on the sideline between plays? Not very original anymore.

I remember ABC had a rep for showing good looking college girls between plays. (Is that why I enjoyed watching college football??!!). That ended and now we have the coaches. Just not the same
