Well, seeing as we're not playing this week now, I presume the local Fox game for you guys in MD will be the Redskins vs Saints game, in which case Billick is the third man in the booth for that game with Dick Stockton and Brian Baldinger (LINK (http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/1659716/NFL-on-FOX-TV-Listings---Week-2)). From what I've read he did a good job last week with the Bucs & Saints, I'll be tuning in to see how he does.

I enjoyed what I heard from him last week. Although it was pretty strange hearing him call a game.

He's the smartest guy in the room. And he ain't afraid to subversively let you know it! :D
Can't wait to hear what he has to say when they allow him to cover a Ravens game.

They won't allow him the cover a Raven's game....at least not this season.
He's working for Fox in any case, they will only carry the Dead$kin$ and Eagles games here.
I have another question. After calling this game did he fly to C-choke so he could run the 2 minute offense for the Clowns?
Crennel made Billick's 2 minute offense look downright efficient.

No shit, Gerg...
That 2-minute clusterfuck was utterly painful to watch!
Lord Billick would have been proud...:rolling:

Week 12 FOX have 8 games, so that week he'll end up on their 7th broadcast crew with the guy he called the week one game with (forget who that was now), but if the Eagles go as well as predicted then we'll probably end up with a "higher" broadcast crew than Billick's.
Week 14 FOX have 6 games and the Deadskins look dead in the water, so we may end up with the 5th or 6th broadcast crew that week that could see us draw Billick with the broadcast crew (Dick Stockton and Brian Baldinger) that he called this week's game with.
Week 14 looks the best possibility for a Billick broadcast game this year, and who knows, it may prove to be the only time in the near future he's in the booth for a Ravens game if he gets back on the sideline next year.
LOL, they let, LITERALLY, 25 seconds or more run off the clock inside 2 minutes trying to make a decision THEN called time out. The last one was again called after indecision set in though not as much time was wasted.
Shouldn't you have these plays scripted on a sheet?
