can they fine announcers

[Purpleguy]

Gus Johnson is an obvious Cleveland homer. I've never seen anything like it.

[Ravens0587]

i cut it off and listen to the ravens radio broadcast

[Ravens0587]

cut the sound off and watch it on tv

[Beerracuda]

That's exactly what I did. Turned on some rock n roll and watched the Ravens win.

[RavenFanatic2k6]

Not just a Cleveland homer. I had the game Tivo'd last week and he was the same way towards the Raiders. Every time Andrew Walter completed a pass, deep, short, wherever, it was "ANDREW WALTERRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!"

[Kaven]

Just makes the win all the sweeter.

[Purpleguy]

I just find it hard to believe that they can't find better guys to be Network announcers. It's a pretty damn good gig, and even though Johnson and Tasker are relegated to CBS low ratings games we should expect better.

[Mr OC]

Remember when Gus was a sports guy in DC? He was funny to listen to because he tried to speak like such a sports guy. Met him a few years ago shopping for sunglasses when we were in Jacksonville for a game. He's a nice guy.

We're just going to have to get used to this. The more we're looked at as the big bad favorite against teams like the browns and raiders the more the announcers are going to seem like they're routing for the underdog to pull an upset. Then again that crew just stinks.

How can he be a Cle and Oak homer? Get some sense people. He's rooting for a close game and the last 2 weeks we were supposed to dominate so of course he's going to build up the underdog.

[Art-Florida]

Whenever I hear a guy as irritating as that, all I have to do to cheer up is think back to Dan Deirdorf, or that semi-literate homeless derelict that used to broadcast the Browns games...Myron something or other.

[Greg]

The guy is just as enthusiastic about the Ravens. He is over-the-top enthusiastic. But he is fair about it.

[Drkraven]

They are torture to listen too.

[Greg]

Yes, he is torture but he tortures equally.

[52RAYVENS]

Gus SUCKS! Who the hell is Lee Suggs. A total dumbass!:thumbdown:

[Brandon]

What pissed me off about the announcers is that they were getting players names wrong and not correcting it.

I just posted something about this in the thread about Mason and Clayton. The announcers can't tell them apart.

[braven98]

It was a joke to listen to them I didnt know Charlie Fry is a lock for the hOF

Last week they consistently confused Musa Smith for Jamal Lewis. They are just miserable. Greg's right, they are over-the-top in their enthusiasm. They come across so excitedly and talk so loudly, it sounds like they take a boatload of uppers before going on the air.

[Losac]

He couldn't control himself everytime Frye completed a pass.

"CHARLIE FRYYYEEEEEE!!!!!"

"WINSSSLOWWWWW OH what a catch!!!"

"They FINALLY have a quarterback here in the great city of Cleveland".

Same thing last week with Andrew "0 TD 3 INT" Walter.

[OwingsMillsAlex]

I just wish everyone would get off the "Cleveland is gold" bandwagon. They sucked prior to the move in 1996. They suck after getting a new team in 1999. They just suck! Get over the whole thing. It's done. We have a team and they have a team. Why can't we all just get along. :hammer:

[braven98]

dont forget that cleveland came to play baby
