Whoever said that Bradshaw is funny is just wrong..... Bradshaw is so full of himself it isn't funny. Howie is a stand up guy and Jimmy Johnson is a Dallas guy so that disqualifies him. I hate Aikman, Darryl Johnston and most of the color guys on FOX. Dick Stockton and Sam Rosen are best play by play guys, IMO.

CBS isn't much better, though. Is the overall announcing talent just dwindling? I think so. Gone are the days of Vin Scully doing play-by-play on CBS. When Pat Summerall was lucid. When Dick Enberg had Merlin Olsen. Those days are gone. Joe Buck, while some people here love him, is really not that good.

Not so fast my friend, I know Aikman is a ex-turd but as a commentator he's pretty damn good.

I only like watching CBS when it is actually viewed in HD otherwise i wouldnt watch it. Fox seems to always be in HD thats why many people prefer it more. But I HATE when watching a Dallas vs. Washington game on FOX because you know the commentators will be Joe F(B)uck and Aikman. Aikman isnt that bad but Joe is so biased.

CBS has always presented football like their target audience is your 67 year-old uncle! It's the reason they lost the NFL to FOX back in the 90s (80s?) and now that they have it back, I see that they haven't earned anything about making their coverage more exciting. I just thank God that they have the AFC since I rarely watch the AFC unless the Skins are playing an AFC team. Then, I just grit my teeth and curse a lot for four hours about how much I despise CBS! I usually get my best afternoon naps during CBS's AFC games!

Any network that would put the nap-inducing (Coma-inducing?) Jim Nantz on their big NFL show clearly has no idea how to make the NFL interesting! Rememer, they also employ Bryant Gumbel's dumber brother, and Phil "Like 'is, Like 'at, Right 'dere" Sims! Clue-Less!
