It's either real or dude is best actor ever.
I wonder if this just isn't a college broadcast for a class, we used to do it at my school, I was a broadcast journalism major. We had a whole class where we put on newscasts once a week. That's what this looks like, and we definitely had people who struck out like this. It's pretty nerve-racking when you get in front of that prompter for the first time. He better not plan on this as a career however, behind the scenes is for him. :)

That's what I thought. It's great though. It's exactly how I'd be doing a report after a few bong hits.
It is a very funny, I did the sports a couple times for us as well. I didn't blow it like this, but I remember being pretty nervous. Once you start screwing up, it's really hard to get back on track. This is the worst I've ever seen though. I'm sure he put this whole thing together too, just majorly choked.
That weatherman one is funnier actually. Also definitely for a college school class broadcast as well. Great fucking stuff.

I really didn't have the patience to sit through the weatherman. I'll take your word for it. That sportscast was brutal. Either the teleprompter was broken or someone gave him some really bad copy.

And here I thought this was going to be a thread to rip on announcers like Dan Fouts and Boomer Esiasion-man those guys blew on MNF.

Hey Boomer is pretty good, he is alot better on radio and works well with Marv Albert.
Fouts did suck.
The Dennis Miller experiment was bad, but he was out of his enviroment.
I wish the HBO would get MNF and then the announcers could really give us some good adjectives. Think of someone like Chris Rock or Lewis Black doing a halftime critique and a post game critique. THAT would be damn entertaining and funny.

No offense, but you just proved my point. :D Joking.
Seriously, he was knowledgable of the game and, I thought, brought a lot of color to the program...

If you wanted to hear about what's between the Tigris and the Euphrates, then yeah, he brought a lot of color to the program.
Maybe he did know a lot about the game, but it seemed like he was trying too hard to be funny, and his humor was often cumbersome.
That, or it was all lost on me. :)

I guess his sense of humor is an acquired taste...to quote Denis Leary, "I think it fuckin' funny!". :D

The one thing Dennis Miller does have going for him in terms of football is the fact that he is a Steelers fan.
If you have that, as far as I'm concerned, you have it all. ;)

Yes, Boomer is good now, but when he was on MNF he was awful!! Granted, I never watch the game for the announcers, but when you start to notice the announcers over the game, you have a problem. As far as Miller goes, I thought he was great on MNF. I felt it was Fouts who brought the whole thing down. I'm a Miller fan though, so I'm a touch biased.

Sorry, a little delarious here from the Pistons big win tonight. Yes, we Miller fans are few and far between. BTW, I've never been a big fan of Madden. Love his games/hate his commentary. Whenever I play Madden, I turn the commentary off and just play on.

Amen on Madden. He used to be at least somewhat insightful (back in the days when he used to play with the Telestrator in the middle of the play), but now he makes the most obvious calls, calls that my grandma could make.
What is even sadder is the fact that his commentary on his games provide more insight than his MNF broadcasts.

My favorite Madden moment was a few years ago when the Dolphins were playing the Bears. Ricky was having a hell of a game-probably high as a kite at the time. Madden was showing how Ricky was hitting the holes and he would call each hole a, b, c-a being near the center, b near the guard and so forth. Madden then said, "And look how he hit the A-hole right there." I spit out my coke all over the table and laughed my ass off. My old room mate, who's now in L.A., called me up asking if I saw that.

:funny: My favorite was when he was with FOX and they would do the Thanksgiving games and he would babble on about Turducken while the game was going on. As if he needed any more Turducken.

I must be slipping in my old age. How could I forget about this guy: Joe Theisman. Listening to him babble on and on about whatever is like listening to nails on the chalk board. It was funny when they had the talking poker dogs for the ESPN promos one year and Theisman was there. The dogs would take bread sticks and snap them like his leg-hillarious.

I think it's pretty funny when Paul McGuire makes fun of him on the air.

Rick Sutcliffe, anyone? A total dumbass when he broadcasted in San Diego, and he hasn't been much better on ESPN. "In order to win the game, you've got to score runs."
"If he catches that ball, he's out."
NO SHIT SHERLOCK!

Hey i like Dennis Miller...think he is hilarious...but the guy didn't know jack about football...not to say that all the sports announcers out there know anything about football...i know i know Howard Cossell wasn't really a big sports know-it-all but fuck that was the 70s that was all that was on..but shit he just seemed to get into Al Michaels and Dan Fouts' way...
yay Dennis Miller on SNL...Bordello of Blood...and on Cable News....but nay on MNF

Yeah that's exactly why I didn't like Dennis Miller. It had nothing to do with the fact that when I watch a football game, I want the commentators to talk about the game, and not go on some loquacious rant about some obscure history fact.
Hey, I'm a football fan and I used the word "loquacious," a ten-letter word with three syllables! :rolleyes:

Again I thought it was Fouts who got in the way more than Miller. There was an SNL sketch awhile back that had Ferrell as Fouts as the line I recall the most was, "The team that scores the most points is the team that's going to win the game." They had Miller pegged also. I don't recall what game it was, but I think it was the Jets/Bucs? Anyway, it was around the time of Keyshawn's book and Miller was talking about something or another. During his rant/speech/dialogue, he takes off his jacket and shirt to expose a Chrebet jersey. Granted, I hate the Jets and Keyshawn, but I thought that was really cool. Besides, who watches these games for the commentators anyway?
