I know I've gotten old and jaded. I used to really like football. I loved MNF with Howard, Don and Frank. I didn't even mind Al and Jon.
I tried to watch some of both games tonight.
Game one, Jets and Detroit. Don't care about either team. Couldn't even let it be background noise because they had that abominable gravel voiced woman in the booth. Beth whateverthehellhernameis. Have they not gotten the message that she's AWFUL. Godawful. I might not mind a woman in the calling plays or doing color, but I don't want to hear Ralph Monroe from Green Acres.
So I turned that off. Couldn't bear it.
Waited until the second game. Turned on Rams/Raiders early in the second quarter. I used to like the Raiders but they can suck my ass now. That stupid Bama receiver and they just signed McTattoo. Hope they lose every game.
Tried to watch it just a little. Again, couldn't bear it because of the announcing crew. I don't know who was calling the game but I assume it was Sam . Everything was bellowed at full volume.
OHHH OHHHH OHHH OHHHHHHHHHHH!!
HE BREAKS THROUGH FOR EIGHT YARDS, CLOSE TO A FIRST DOWN!!!!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH
CARR ROLLS RIGHT, THROWS TOWARD THE END ZONE!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH
INTERCEPTED!!!!!!!!!!!It was the middle of the second quarter, dipstick. Calm your tits.
My eardrums and nerves just couldn't stand it.
Between two games I lasted a total of less than ten minutes. It was awful. I've heard high school games with better announcing teams. Shit.
