Meh, it's football.
Well, hells bells I guess the NFL will allow Tiricio to call pre-season games. Whoo-hoo. 
PS: Phins new stadium a hell of a lot more attractive then the stapler (see Vikings suck thread if you don't get the reference.)

Is Mike Tirico doing the game? 
Oh ya, that guy. 
Matty Ice always looks like he's on the verge of having a panic attack. Reminds me back in the days of Randy Wright.
Is there precedent for Tirico doing a TNF game?
Is this a Matt Ryan line or what. 4-5 for 27 yards with two completions for 17 and 11. Matt Ryan is the Jeff Fisher of QBs.
Yep, that is Matt ryan at his finest.
And a horrible Matt Ryan pick on que. He's so bad.
This Tirico / Collinsworth booth isn't hard to listen too. This game sucks. Let's list some great broadcast teams.
Pat Summerall / Tom Brookshier
Pat Summerall / John Madden.
Keith Jackson / Frank Broyles
Kurt Gowdy / Don Meredith
Lyndsey Nelson / Paul Hornung
Dick Enberg / Merlin Olsen
Don Criqui / John Brodie
Ray Scott / Pat Summerall
Verne Lundquist / Gary Danielson
Chris Berman / Trent Dilfer. (Kidding)
You are old.
Great post.
Verne and Gary have been my go to guys on Saturdays the past few years.
How could you leave out "You' are looking live." from Brent Musberger?
Brent never could carry a game.
Verne and Gary always felt like fall.
Chris Schenkel / Bud Wilkinson.
Brad Nessler / Mike Mayock is pretty strong. Ian Eagle / Dan Fouts isn't horrible either.
Announcing isn't the same though.
They weren't national, but they were great.
Frank (Herzog), Sam (Huff) and Sonny (Jurgensen), the radio broadcast team for Washington.
They worked together from 1979 until 2004 and were astoundingly good and entertaining. Herzog is the guy who calls "Touchdown, Washington R******s" in all those classic clips of the great Joe Gibbs teams from1981-92.
I've lived in the DC area since 1980 and am no Washington fan, but I'd listen to their game call every week because it was so damn good.
Of course Danny Snyder fired Herzog in 2004 in order to put his own PR flunky in the play-by-play chair.
DAL @ SEA just started now.
Romo scrambling, defender from behind swipes over the right shoulder to knock out the ball... Romo is down holding his lower back.
Goes off the field under his own power.
Sonny was really, really good.

Oh ,they are convinced Dak Prescott is the heir apparent.
Cowboys are kind of like the booger eating kid in grade school---fun to laugh at.
Romo, in the 3rd preseason game, is done for the night. Romo had 3 snaps, 1/1 for 11 yards.
If Pete is smart he'll go pure vanilla now and let Dak carve his defense to pieces. Let that machine eat itself
Nice battle going on with Ezekiel vs Chancellor. Elliot popped Kam good in the open field after about a 10 yard gain. Next play Dak misses Elliot and Kam hits him late getting a 15 yarder. Next play Ezekiel puts a shoulder down on Kam and gets about 3 more yards.

I prefer "The Sandcrawler"
I hate sand people.
Maybe we should do a poll?
A. Sneeze-guard B. Stapler C. Sandcrawler
Best team Eva! Buffone and O'Bradovich!

Dak looked okay, but also looked like a rookie. His TD pass to Witten (last night) should have been picked, if not for Witten making the pro-bowler move to go over the LB and catch it. Prescott also pulled it down a lot and took off running. If he continues to do that he'll not last.
SEA played most of their 1's into the 3rd qtr.
I don't remember people here being so critical when Hundley was putting up big numbers last summer.
For the last time. It's The Tool Shed. What is wrong with yoo people?
I'm mildly surprised at how Matty Ass has regressed. He was never a top-tier QB, but it looks like he has slipped a rung. I don't think Quinn has built his killer defense yet, either.
Dolphins aren't any better off with Tannehill. They've got a decent defense, but I think they will struggle to put many points on the board.
Ryan has always been a guy that needed to be at 100% of his ability to be successful because his accuracy and decision making were the only things that he excelled at for a while. He couldn't afford to lose any arm strength or release speed. Now that he's a little older those things will have more of an effect on him. He also used to have 3 solid receivers and a decent OL in his heyday.
I'd agree with DH13, Ryan has little room for error.
He's a physical specimen, but he's dumber than a box of rocks. how fortunate for us Packer fans
Ryan always reminds me of Drew Bledsoe with a weaker arm: Good-enough passer but looks like he couldn't avoid a zamboni on a pass rush.
Satori:
That's also the game that caused the Falcons to blow their draft on Julio Jones.
My favorite memory from that game was between the 3d and 4th quarters, when they introduced the Punt, Pass, and Kick winners. Every time they announced a kid, you could hear a polite cheer in the background. When they announced one from Wisconsin (and I think there were three of them), you could hear a much louder cheer. I kind of felt sorry for the ones who weren't from Packerland.
