The best part about the four games this weekend (two today, two tomorrow) we are going to be listening to the best "color" analysts:
- today -- Tony Romo and Tom Brady.
- tomorrow: Troy Aikman and Cris Collinsworth.
In order of preference for me:
- Tony Romo (my favorite by far): after posting this blog, this was a trending story (LOL).
- Tom Brady
- tossup between Troy Aikman and Cris Collinsworth but if forced to choose, my least favorite is Troy Aikman.
DUOs:
- Tony Romo and Jim Nantz: CBS
- Tom Brady and Kevin Burkhard (very, very good): Fox
- Cris Collinsworth and Mike Tirico (very, very good): NBC
- Troy Aikman and Joe Buck: ESPN/ABC
- Joe Buck is getting long in the tooth (as are the others, but Joe Buck seems more annoying;his "catch phrases" have not changed in years);
- Troy Aikman and Tom Brady are way too analytical / unemotional
- Kirk Herbstreit and Al Michaels: Amazon Prime (Al Michaels is so good, I forget he is "play-by-play" and not the "color analyst.")
How good is Al Michaels?
NBCUniversal developed an AI-generated version of Al Michaels' voice for personalized, pre-recorded, or automated highlights, but not live game action.
Next games:
- AFC championship: CBS
- NFC championship: FOX
- Super Bowl: NBC
- missing: ABC/ESPN and Amazon Prime
