It doesn’t need to be brothers necessarily, just 2-3 people that are fun to listen to. Kinda of like a good podcast crew.As long as MLB doesn't use Aaron and Bret Boone for MLB.
Cal and Billy could be the equivalent of this.
Nique and Gerald or Jon and Brent (Barry) for NBA. Maybe Ryan and Drew (Miller) for NHL.
Honestly ALL living Barrys would be cool for NBA.
Favre: fuck Green Bay as a city, a team and as a motherfucking community owned major league sports team."I didn't watch the 1st half."

Three-man booth is always one too many, right?They definitely went with the IQ challenged guests tonight. Maybe Cole Beasley is available next.
Except it took him 8 minutes to get those two sentences out of the vicodin soaked mush of his brain.Favre: fuck Green Bay as a city, a team and as a motherfucking community owned major league sports team.
Also Favre: I moved to NYC and suddenly I couldn’t send pictures of my genitals to team employees.
I actually thought Russell Wilson was great last weekThree-man booth is always one too many, right?
I thought Ray Lewis was fantastic last week. Charles Barkley was entertaining too, though in a different way. Both were much better than Gronk or Favre. Lewis and Barkley are just flat-out brighter than Gronk and Favre, though it probably also matters that Lewis and (especially) Barkley have experience doing TV.
I'd say 4 for sure. Which two am I missing?So awesome to have three guys on the same broadcast who collectively cost the Patriots six Super Bowls.
Favre beat us in one and threw a shit pick to the Giants in 07. Eli and Peyton each have their own 2.I'd say 4 for sure. Which two am I missing?
Then again, they had one that helped them get three.
Lights are on, but nobody's home.Except it took him 8 minutes to get those two sentences out of the vicodin soaked mush of his brain.
I missed that segment. Supports my “no shit” theory that smart guys make better commentators than dumb guys (or at least guys who play dumb, which is a more accurate description of Gronk).I actually thought Russell Wilson was great last week
Forgot about this one thanks! But that's the same year as Eli 1. So only 5 in totalFavre beat us in one and threw a shit pick to the Giants in 07. Eli and Peyton each have their own 2.
Broncos beating us on the way to his second SB victory.Forgot about this one thanks! But that's the same year as Eli 1. So only 5 in total
Which one was Peyton's 2nd (I have Bears SB year as the 1)?

Peyton; one with the Colts in 2007, two with the Broncos in 2014 and 2016 but to be fair, do the Patriots beat Seattle in 2014, probably not, they demolished DenverI'd say 4 for sure. Which two am I missing?

Brain fart on my part. Thanks. I completely erased the PM Broncos memories.Broncos beating us on the way to his second SB victory.
Thanks. Broncos PM memory loss on my part.Peyton; one with the Colts in 2007, two with the Broncos in 2014 and 2016
Eli; two with the Giants in 2008 and 2012
Favre; one with the Packers in 1997
That's ok, so did Favre.Brain fart on my part. Thanks. I completely erased the PM Broncos memories.
Agreed. Even a good conventional commentator like Tony Romo doesn’t give you insights like that. It never would have occurred to me that the Lions made a horseshit play call on that 4th and 1, even though it’s obvious once someone points it out.This scheme play vs talent play talk is fascinating.
Romo was tremendous in the AFCCG vs the Chiefs, he was calling plays before the Patriots ran them, specifically in OT.Agreed.

It’s a cool parlor trick, and one of my favorite parts of watching games with former players - especially when they’re betting on play calls every down - but Peyton does a better job talking about the what, why and how than Romo does congratulating himself for predicting every play.Romo was tremendous in the AFCCG vs the Chiefs, he was calling plays before the Patriots ran them, specifically in OT.
Yeah that little bit about the dagger or this bit about where your feet need to be unless you are Rodgers are good stuff.It’s a cool parlor trick, and one of my favorite parts of watching games with former players - especially when they’re betting on play calls every down - but Peyton does a better job talking about the what, why and how than Romo does congratulating himself for predicting every play.
I wonder whether Romo could do what Peyton does in this format. Peyton is excellent, no doubt, but it helps that he’s not being asked to conform to conventional broadcast norms and keep things accessible for fans who understand only the most rudimentary aspects of football.It’s a cool parlor trick, and one of my favorite parts of watching games with former players - especially when they’re betting on play calls every down - but Peyton does a better job talking about the what, why and how than Romo does congratulating himself for predicting every play.
Plus, Romo is sort of breaching etiquette in doing that, plenty of color guys can call out plays with some regularity based on formation and personnel.It’s a cool parlor trick, and one of my favorite parts of watching games with former players - especially when they’re betting on play calls every down - but Peyton does a better job talking about the what, why and how than Romo does congratulating himself for predicting every play.
Good point. In my experience, some people have a gift for being able to explain complex concepts to laymen, and others aren’t. I think Romo’s excitability and desire to nail the calls makes him less likely to take Peyton’s clinical, thorough approach, but it is possible it’s just the medium.I wonder whether Romo could do what Peyton does in this format.

Yeah, Eli knows to stop talking right away, but Peyton is stomping all over Gronk and Favre and Willis.Peyton does need to work on just shutting the fuck up sometimes.

He falls into the ‘so here’s a total breakdown of the play….ANY OTHER THOUGHTS?’ thing. He should just say ‘whaddya make of that play Patrick’Yeah, Eli knows to stop talking right away, but Peyton is stomping all over Gronk and Favre and Willis.
