Love me some McAfee. #ForTheBrand

I will say, he has changed a bit since he started doing Thursday night football on ESPN.

Maybe not a bad thing. I was listening to McAfee when he was on Bob and Tom a couple years ago before he joined barstool. He’s a ******* riot. He’s awesome.

As bad as McFarland is, the announcer I hate the most is Paul Allen (radio voice of the Vikings). He talks non-stop, has no sense of the dramatic - every play is edge-of-your-seat - and when something big happens, he morphs into something that sounds like a promo for a WWE event. Terrible.
 
Booger makes me wish for dan dierdorf back.

I'll give you funny, because this is, but Dan was horrific. I actually wouldn't mind a game with no color commentary. Just give me down and distance and really, I don't even need that.

Booger, Chris Collinsworth, and good old Dierdorf believe the only reason people tune into these games is to listen to their vocal diarrhea the entire game.

My wife laughs at me, "Jeez you have changed, you used to scream about plays, bad calls, team playing poorly. Now all you do is scream shut the **** up!"

He’s the worst. He also acts like a 12 year old fanboy and not an announcer. Small deal but he uses “we” all the time instead of “the Vikings” too.

Incredibly annoying.

The plus side is that it makes for some good entertainment when things go wrong :D

 
We need this Booger in the booth!!

I only watch when my team is on. Like the Sunday night broadcast much better

Flipping through pretty much any of the other networks on Sunday are an improvement.

FOX might be my favorite pregame during the day Sundays...they discuss things but they don't take it too seriously.

He started off as an over-eager pup but I think he's calming down a bit and growing into the role.

Booger just has no chemistry... He was way better as a sideline analyst.
 
“Games in this league are lost more than they’re won.”

I gave this a "Funny" click. I remember hearing similar thing over the years, multiple times, "Basketball games are lost, not won."

It's an attempt to sound philosophical or something, but ultimately pointless. I'm no mathematician, but chance of winning or losing, regardless of the reason, still hovers near 50%. Give or take 0%.

Holy **** this x1000. He is such a homer, but not a good one like Hawk Harrelson. Cannot stand listening to Vikings games.

Fox is reasonably entertaining but all these shows are kinda past their prime. The show I think is horrid is CBS where you have pasty white kids with no personality that all look like each other. How many Sims are there and how come NONE of them have any personality?
 
Did anyone catch his quote last night?

“Games in this league are lost more than they’re won.”
You didn't provide context but I assume it was regarding that more games are decided because one team makes a mistake and not because one team does something extraordinary. I think the belief is a big reason coaches tend to make the safe choice and makes a lot of things boring and predictable. Or maybe a statistics lecture broke out during a timeout in which case yes, it doesn't make much sense.
