Jino Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 For some reason here at ExtremeSkins, many folks can't stand the broadcasters who cover our games (except for Aikman). However, I must say that last week's crew with Billick and Baldinger were VERY good. Although I hated him as a coach, he's got the right stuff as an analyst. Obviously, he knows what he's talking about and his inside knowledge as a coach really drew me in. Plus, he's a good talker. What do you guys think?

Zhouse Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 After listening to Mike, Mike and Mike during the Oakland - Denver game I have to give props to any true broadcaster. They were so bad it made me realize you can't just plug someone in and expect them to do well....it's much harder than it looks i guess. Billick was pretty good on Sunday. He knew what he was talking about it seemed like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngestson Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I thought Billick was pretty good and having him there made Baldinger (sp?) a little less wordy which is good. Struggling to fill up air time can be hard and Brian goes off on macho cliche mode far too often. Having a little help made him much better. I guess the three man model provides less pressure to always be speaking, and some other observations to work off of. It also helped that Billick was just being himself and not a little Madden which so many of those guys do. All around pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky21 Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Brian Billick is an irritating blow hard. I muted him any chance I could. No problem with Baldinger or the other dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubbs Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Yeah, I definitely liked Billick in the booth. Hope we get him more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingGibbs Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Look, I'll be the first one to admit I can't stand Billick, but the man is very intelligent and the casual fan learned more about football (x's and O's) after listening to him. I agree with the OP that it was a very good team despite my disdain towards Billick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooley4President Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I hate Billick, but he was a good analyst. The booth was good, I have to say. Then again, everyone has varying opinions on every broadcast team. Few are universally loved or hated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#98QBKiller Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I thought other than Billick the broadcast was terrible. Their mics were too loud, they interrupted each other...if you go back and watch the Santana 4th Q TD, someone screams into the mic so loud it goes to static...and Dick Stockton needs a haircut.

Grimm Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I didn't think Billick was really comfortable, but he will get better. I have always and still do hate Baldinger with a passion though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRobi21 Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I've always enjoyed Billick. And thought he did a good job on the game. I made that comment all throughout the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never4get#21 Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Billick spent too much time defending coaching decisions. It sounded like to me that he was still alittle peeved at the pressures of making a "coaching desicion". They did make some good points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doom44 Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Forget these guys...they are Pat Sumerall compared to Tony Kornheiser...That man was made for the mute button. I thought he was going to ask Jerry Jones up to the booth for a conjugal visit. ESPN fails on monday night because of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titaw Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I liked them alot better than Joe Buck. That guy is incessantly annoying. Mainly, because he acts like a knowitall arrogant SOB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPortJGibbs89 Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I thought the guys did well. I have always liked Baldinger, Billick though at times made me feel like he kept ****ing about being fired and having a conservative offense. I thought he analyzed the game well but felt like he was airing his dirty laundry during our game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllBusiness Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Baldinger lives up to his name each and every time I listen to his block-headedness. Billick could become a tremendous booth guy. For that being his first time, not too shabby. [And I don't personally like him either.] I was thinking that most coaches turned announcers have been alright with me. The one exception being Glanville. Obnoxious, and tried too hard. LOVED Hank Stram! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
