and the fact that they keep playing the NFL theme on their baseball telecasts (what was wrong to the old theme? It was miles better than the current out-of-place song, though I like the marching-band variants for their college telecasts).

My thoughts exactly.  At least they still use the 'right' one on Fox Sports WI

They still use the 'right' one on Fox Sports Ohio and Sports Time Ohio as well, so I would imagine that all the Fox regional networks use the baseball one and that the football one is only used for national baseball games on the Fox network channel.

Though of course, all of the Fox regional networks have recently been acquired by ESPN, so the familiar Fox baseball theme will likely be gone for good this year.

I like Jerry Glanville after all he is they guy who traded away Brett Favre.

NFL means Not For Long if you keep making calls like that, lol. Good ole Jerry Glanville.

I voted too quickly without actually reading the choices. I first thought we were talking about current crews. I would have voted Summerall/Madden if I had been paying attention.

I can still hear Summerall saying late in the 4th quarter "For those of you on the east coast 60 Minutes will be shown in its entirety followed by 'Murder, She Wrote'." I really don't remember the TV show that well, but I sure remember Summerall saying the name every week.

I was at the Eagles/Vikings game so I didn't have to listen to any announcers.

The NFL Network did have a 1 hour summary of the game the other night, simply taking clips of the broadcast.  I thought Buck/Aikman actually did a pretty good job with that game (well, I mostly heard Buck).  Usually, they are very anti-Eagles.

I wish TV announcers didn't have to CONSTANTLY talk.  You'd think they were on the radio.  If I can see it, you don't have to say it.  People go to live events and do just fine without commentary.

Why was Romo so good in the regular season, yet in the past two games was a mess. Has nothing to do with the Patriots, because he called three regular season games with them and was fantastic. I guess he's going to suck in the postseason as a broadcaster, too.

Mimicking his quarterback career maybe?  :-D  :bigass:
