I was forced to watch a majority of the Colts-Texans debacle. It was this game that made me realize why I don't watch much football.
The announcers sucked worse than the Texans. "Be careful of what you wish for, because you might just get the opposite of that." What the hell? Isn't that why you wish for something, because you don't want what would happen otherwise? Isn't that why you throw the hail mary at the end of the game, so that you just might catch it and win? This announcer is about as bright as a blacklight at noon.
Then he insisted on giving coaching lessons. "Don't catch the ball away from your body." Brilliant. All this time I've been trying to catch the ball when it wasn't near me. Cheezus. I swear, David makes more sense than this guy. They should fire him. Plain and simple.
Now I totally realize why my dad would turn the TV on, sound down, and tune into the game on the AM radio. Yep, when you're on the radio, you have to be a damned good announcer. TV announcers posess only the skill of overstating the obvious. Hell, these guys make Bush sound like a English Major at a Poetry and Prose recital.
The smartest thing that football ever did was hire Dennis Miller for Monday Night Football. Obscure refrences be damned, he made it entertaining. Maybe I'll start watching the games and listening to whatever station comes on the ol' AM radio.
