MonkFan8 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Other then calling Santana by the wrong name most of the time I found him to be pretty insightful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blondie Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Calling Santana "SANTONIO" through out the game got on my last nerve. I am not so sure I would consider him a DARN GOOD ANNOUNCER. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saqs Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Santonio :rotflmao: But yeah I agree he's pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor The Invincible Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 He's not horrible. But he did have one too many "Santonio" Mosses for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expensivegift Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 The first two posts pretty much sums it up. Today I learned Carlos Rogers only allowed 1 TD the whole year. Clinton Portis was the leading RB in 100 yard games since 2002. There's also some other stuff but Brian Billick is amazing as an analyst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Really? I got sick of hearing what the Lions needed to do. It seemed very pro-Lions to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inevitable Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 First time he misspoke he said "San Antonio" I thought I'd sat on the remote and changed to pre-season basketball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegionOfDoom Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 He used the word "proverbial" alot to describe things on the field. Overall I feel he did a solid job bringing good insight to the broadcast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoudMouth12thMan Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 He's cool to listen to with regard to his knowledge of the game, but I wouldn't call him "darn good." Santonio Moss? Maybe I'm being a little tough on him, but there's probably a reason why he worked the least rated game on television. I did like the coache's view of things though.

bricucci Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 He's horrible, butchering names seems lost. Kind of like his coaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllBusiness Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Not true. He had lots of praise for Zorn. He even said one time;"I'm gonna defend Coach Zorn a little bit here..." I love being around a bunch of Skins fans. But I hate posting with a bunch of them sometimes! SHEESH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Billick like Troy Aikman calls the game without calling attention to his own ego. That is the difference between him and some of the other announcers. You can count Michael Strahan on the Fox Studio show in that list. This guy has the biggest ego I have seen on TV in quite a while. One Super Bowl? Congrats, Mike, but it's not like you are Montana sitting there with 4 rings.

FuriousD Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 He refered often to "waggle" routes or "waggle" plays. Anyone care to explain that term? I might have missed it but I don't remember the DARN good Mr. Billick offering up an explanation. Thanks in advance! :helmet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSHRedskins3ATLBraves3 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 His coaching is awful, but I do agree he's a good announcer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terpfan Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 He has good insights, he just mispeaks a lot. That will probably improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubanl81 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I think his a good announcer. Doesn't seem biased. I don't think he was to Pro-Lion. And the reason he mention CJ's shoes so much, was because it took him like two plays to get them back on. Overall I look forward to him calling our games in the future.

WVUforREDSKINS Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I'm kinda pissed at Billick because I feel asleep during the 3rd quarter and when I woke up the Giants game was on. I blame his boring announcing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CooL_LiKe_CooLeY Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 He was butchering everything!!! Did anybody catch when he said Shaun Alexander came out on the Madden 06 cover? LOL...I have Madden 07 and Shaun Alexander was on there too! How weird that the same player was used in two consecutive years! By the way, sucks that Santana Holmes is not playing against the Giants today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSB 21 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Trust me, he said Santonio lol. I remember because I rolled my eyes at it and basically thought to myself about how crappy some of these commentators are. Yes he did and I was waiting for some kind of spaghetti sauce commercial to follow:doh: Santonio had one heck of a game today though :applause: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannon2 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 If he had said one more thing about Calvin Johnson's shoe I was going to break something. Hahahaha. I had a different reaction. I think it was the tension of the moment but his obsession with that shoe made me giggle like a school girl. I hope to see it incorporated in a future Coor's Light commerical. Also, what steps do I need to take to get the word "trickeration" banned on NFL broadcasts?....I'd do anything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SK1NS4L1FE Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 It was painful to hear them call the game. Billick just sucks at it. He had too much commentary time allotted to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
From da U to DC Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 He is a coaching retard that doesn't study TEAMS or NAMES!!! He called Santana :"Santonio Moss" along with jacking up several other names all day. Then he has the nerve to keep saying what he would do if he was ZORN every week. ADVICE: Stop 'marketing' your SORRY coaching skills, you got fired by B-more and nobody wants you. Billick was only thought to be good b/c of a STUD packed offense in Minnesota in '98. He has a Ring by default of a STUD packed defense in which his offense Sucked!:doh: :dallasuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
