NFL Open Thread - Week 4 Early Games

Sunday, September 28, 2008


Hi, folks! S2N here with you for another Sunday of NFL action, due to end with a live-blog of the Eagles taking on the Bears in the Windy City tonight. So, for a refresher, here are the broadcast maps from earlier this week, and Fox has the doubleheader today. I'll be trying to get a pirated view of the Denver-KC game here in my West Coast bunker, because I don't care one bit about the Niners and the Saints (however, since it is the only game on my teevee, it will be on.)

CBS

Denver at Kansas City - Greg Gumbel, Dan Dierdorf
Houston at Jacksonville - Dick Enberg, Randy Cross
Cleveland @ Cincinnati - Kevin Harlan, Rich Gannon

FOX:

Green Bay at Tampa Bay - Kenny Albert, Daryl Johnston, Tony Siragusa
Arizona at NY Jets - Dick Stockton, Brian Baldinger, Brian Billick
San Francisco at New Orleans - Sam Rosen, Tim Ryan
Atlanta at Carolina - Ron Pitts, Tony Boselli
Minnesota at Tennessee - Chris Myers, J.C. Pearson

You know the drill. Tell us what you're watching, how it's going, talk about your fantasy team, and of course, if your announcing team says anything monumentally stupid.

Damnit, KC needs an offensive line. And a new head coach, with the balls to go for a TD.

Another year, another lousy Denver defense, another D-coordinator fired at the end of the season.

The Chiefs are killing my fantasy hopes this year. Handcuffed with both LJ and Gonzo.

Brian Baldinger- "Darrelle Revis a crafty veteran...in his second year."

....and FG #3 is wide right.

I know I'm supposed to hate the Chiefs and everything they stand for, but I just feel bad for their fans with Herm.

Brian Baldinger on Favre's second TD to Coles,.
"This is a no mercy league, and if there is one thing Brett Favre can do it's find a wide open receiver"

Brilliant! Baldinger must have relatives somewhere at Fox, and isn't Dick Stockton dead?

S2N: If I were to get a Chiefs jersey of our best player right now, it'd be our Punter.

"We're going to have to slow that down..."

-Dan Dierdorf, watching a slow-motion replay.

Herm: just skip the waiting, and kick the FG on 1st down.

Warner's wife would even bemch Kurt at this stage. Who could have guessed the Jets d would have been a nice play today.

Tony Boselli, Falcons-Panthers: "Harry Douglas, that name sounds like a New York stand-up comedian."

And as expected, the Bungles-Brownies match-up is a battle of the resistible force against the movable object.

Now, if you want, I could break it down phonetically for you if reading comprehension isn't you thing.

Brian Baldinger on Zona pulling to within 34-21.

"what we have here is we have a ball game" Brilliant!

Greg Gumbel doesn't know what down it is. He said 3rd and 3, it was 2nd and 10. he then corrected himself, said it was 3rd and 3, and finally got 3rd and 10.

Hilarious.

4 fumbles, 2 interceptions, 5 sacks conceded by Kurt Warner.


Mangini should learn how to run up the score.

surprisingly Chris Myers didn't piss me off like I thought he would today

I think early in the game Daryl Johhnston said Favre instead of Rodgers.

Also Johnston and Siragusa, both questioned an offensive pass interference on Tampa when the Packers DB jersey was pulled enough to see the shoulder pads.

That is volume 2 of the Bellicheat manual published after Mangini left.

56 points........holy crap.



Don't worry, the Cardinals will still win the NFC West right?

Joe Buck, former St Louis Cardinals announcer, son of legendary Cardinals announcer Jack Buck, Fox's number 1 baseball announcer, had to be told by his producer that when the Brewers last made the playoffs in 1982, the team they played in the World Series was St Louis. I mean, why would Joe know that?

Today we discovered the one thing that could turn Kevin Harlan into a talking zombie...an awfully played game between two 0-3 teams (Browns and Bengals). I've never heard him so unenthusiastic ever.

Announcer note: Harlan said he and Gannon would be in Carolina for the Chiefs-Panthers game next weeek.

Not an announcer thing, but how about this graphic at the beginning of Browns-Bengals: Browns 0-3 for first time since 2006.

Wow. The Browns went a whole season between 0-3 starts...Definitely worth a graphic.

You can cut the sexual tension between Joe Buck & Pam Ward with a knife.

Oh wait, that tension isn't sexual? My bad.
