YES! YES! YES!.

(Suck it. I can now say Burrow>Josh Allen with no protest from y'all. MWAHAHAHA)

yeah but you're still a bit of a lunatic, so it's not like it's fair to protest such claims.

 

[Captante]

Wow!

 

[BoomerD]

what? no way! Romo has been awesome the last several years. I only recall his first year being dodgy. Not Whitten bad, but close.

Nah, Romo is one of the worst former-player announcers. Like you said, not Witten bad...not Booger McFarland bad...but terrible.

It's called sanity and a sharp eye for talent.

Not really, Allen got the TD with 13 seconds left, if they played a normal defense Allen walks out of there the winner, can't blame him for that.

What? Booger's all right too. At least, he's way better than the people they've put him with--remember that first post-Gruden MNF thing? yikes...

I get it though--old folks like you want serious alcoholics that don't think anything is fun. Or rather, that football is somehow serious business. I like that with Collinsworth and Al Michaels and Summerall, but that shit is dead now. Madden always kinda bridged the seriousness with the fun stupidity of the silly game.

Romo has been most excellent. He's certainly way better than that golfist, Jim Nance. Never could stand that guy.

Gotta love that closeted mancrush for Allen

 

[BoomerD]

I'm surprised at the outcome of this game...I thought for sure the Chefs were going back to the Super Bowl. As a lifelong Steelers fan, I have a strong dislike for the Bungles...but otherwise, I really don't care who won.
I DO hope the Rams can beat the niners though.

I don't pet humans from Buffalo or working in Buffalo.

Yup, Romo was a great addition IMO, I'd like to see a city like Cincinnati hoist up the Lombardi, that would be awesome..

 

[Torn Mind]

That laugh by Nantz was quite unintentionally evil sounding. lol

 

[BUTCH1]

So now we turn to the last game, could it, would it, somehow continue this off the charts 2022 playoff run?.

Friend of mine just mentioned this, in response to the stat flashed late in that last game:

If Burrow becomes only the 3rd QB to win both the CFBNC, and the Superbowl (Joe Namath, Joe Montana), then that will mean all 3 QBs in history to have ever done this, are all named Joe.


....now that's some 5G, Illuminati shit.

 

[Torn Mind]

JB just announced to the world Uzomah is his second cousin.

 

[digiram]

Wow. Bengals pull through and makes kc win last week meaningless. 😂

 

[JujuFish]

So, uh, who do you think is an actually GOOD example? Please don't say Theeeeeesman.

Burrow is also atonement for the Browns not taking the other QB from Ohio when the had the chance. Great to see some in-state talent doing something for a pro team.

 

[zinfamous]

...and, that's a Garopollo, missing the wide-open catch and TD to Kittle. You can't do that in the NFL. but there are always some QBs, who just do it so dependably. I don't get it.

 

[Torn Mind]

Jimmy G overthrowing another wide open receiver. Dude sure can't contain his nerves.

yeah, I remember the story about Burrow's home town from the game a few weeks ago--he basically grew up exactly at the fulcrum between Cleveland, Cincy, and Pittsburgh, so there is a lot of fan overlap in that area. His hometown went from a mixture of team flags over decades (mostly Pittsburgh and Ohio CFB teams), to suddenly about 80-90% Bengals flags, in just the last 2 years. Hahaha.

It's so awesome.

I mean, Burrow is also a transfer from OSU, so he's pretty embedded in that fan base everywhere. Imagine that--2nd string (kinda legitimately, too) QB at a place like OSU, transfers to LSU to win a (T)heisman and a CFBC.

 

[zinfamous]

wow INT at the goal!

 

[BoomerD]

So, uh, who do you think is an actually GOOD example? Please don't say Theeeeeesman.

ROFL...no. I like Al Michaels and Chris Collins worth, probably the best in recent history. Not a fan of Joe Buck and Troy Aikman either. Romo MIGHT be OK if he'd just shut up and stop trying to manage the game. "I'd or this," or "I think they should do that," just call the fucking game.

yeah I get it, that's just what I like about him. He's an excited kid. That's why you need the straight guy like Nantz with him. Imagine the disaster if it was Romo, Booger, and Gruden. They all have one.

I agree that Al and CHris are teh best, they are the general standard-bearer from the MNF/Madden-esque Summerall sorta thing. And it works. But they are both straight guys, who happen to be stone-face smashed throughout the broadcast (which you need to be to carry teh standard NFL speaking voice).

Though, Chris also has many mancrushes throughout each game that he likes to confess. It's quite entertaining.
