I’ve seen so many people bitching about Joe Buck and Chris Colinsworth, but I honestly don’t even notice the announcer during the game. It’s just like “Oh, this helpful person is telling me stuff about the game I’m already watching, but I don’t care who you are.”
What’s the difference between a good and bad announcer?
Can anyone else not even relate to what the people in here are saying? I listen to what they have to say in a nonjudgmental way and . . . that’s that. I don’t get mad about it or lose sleep about the inconsequential words of football analysts.
Like you OP, they’re just simply background noise. I truly don’t mean this in a holier-than-thou way either.
The only time I was off-put by one was when Romo started singing randomly and I could feel it make Nantz cringe. Romo is a little eccentric. As long as they’re saying something football related, then I, for the most part, won’t notice it.
The people complaining about announcers being passionate over players are being silly. It’s quite literally in their job descriptions to be passionate.
