"Tyson Lee is a senior quarterback, he has to know better than to force the ball into coverage." - Andre Ware talking about Mississippi State's QB throwing an interception against LSU on 4th down. Ware does not realize that throwing an interception on 4th down is often beneficial and in this case it backs LSU up around 20 yards further than they'd be if it was an incompletion.
Andre Ware talking about the Tebow flu: "Argubly, Tebow's backup, John Brantley, is the third-best QB in the SEC. They'll be alright today."
What about Joe Cox, Jevan Snead, Garcia, Jonathan Crompton, or Chris Todd?
John Congemi- "Cincinnati is in a second and good situation."
On that George Jefferson, it's actually Jordan Jefferson.
Pam Ward was calling the Indiana-Michigan game a "upset alert" with five minutes still in the 2nd quarter.
"Naaman Roosevelt is hit by a host of cherry-shirted Temple defenders" Michael Reghi

You think! Michigan just imploded on that drive.
On the Wisconsin game, ESPN is showing people how to jump at the fifth quarter.
Pam Ward: "Doss uses his speed to squirt out of bounds."
"Fifth red zone possession for Indiana. They have one touchdown and three field goals."- Pam Ward
Um, Pam that would be four possession's. Also Indiana has scored two touchdowns.
The color guy on the Wake Forest game sounds like a zombie.
"Dawes was the outside guy, worked inside, then did a little whip route, where you move inside then *whip it back out*" - Ray Bentley
Talking about blocking:
Steve Martin: "What's the difference between engagement and shading?"
Doc Walker: "Well, engagement is engagement, y'know... and shadin' is shadin'..."
(Laughter)
They keep showing the same Danica Patrick ad on ESPN360.
"He came on got him....on the.....foot."-Pam Ward

What's with the long pauses from Pammy?

"You throw your hands in the air like you just don't care, like in that rap song"
John Congemi: "He's going to come and separate this football away from Chastain West, and that's a big hit in this football game that wins this football game for Cincinnati."
Mike Gleason- "This team is a really good team, as they have to travel back to the San Joaquin Valley with a 1-3 record."

- Dave Lapham
Andre Ware: "That man (Dan Mullen) has coached a football game today."
Ron Franklin, doesn't know who is at the studio, John Saunders or Matt Winer. Then, he says "Thank you, Mr. Winer."
The referee in the Clemson-TCU game sounds like Barack Obama.

Like 90% of these are just stupidity on your guys end or something you wanted to hear. Do you guys even like football or do you just follow to laugh at announcers?
Furthermore...goodness, what has happened to this site? Same thing as Deadspin, I suppose. A blog can only get too popular before its quality drops.

Watching Ohio-Tenn. Whoever is doing the play by play in 2nd quarter says (14-14 game)--this game is far from over.
Then they show Lane Kiffin holding his chart sheet and the announcer asks his analyst how many plays does Kiffin have?
Answer: Quite a few--
Thanks for the great commentary guys

Mark Jones- "Tim Tebow can really take your heart away on some of those runs."
