2nd quarter open thread. Current score: 3-0 Bills. How bad are the NFL Network announcers? Sterling Sharpe is the play-by-play guy.

We're so spoiled
Just think, after Peyton is gone, we could be seeing this type of football on a regular basis.

Sterling
I dont think its necessarily his fault because everyone in the both is the analyst. there is no al micheals or jim nanz person

He got 2 yards
How is that a “good job?”

What else are they to do
Colts do a great job taking away the big play. Problem is if you don’t score TDs, you’re screwed dkining against Colts.

yup
as soon as the Colts offense gets a score you are pressured to match them score for score. The fact is teams dont have offenses that can match them score for score

Dinking and dunking against a second unit defense is not looking good.

They made a few third and long conversions look pretty easy. That was slightly annoying to say the least.

But it would be completely different if we had an offense

I Googled John Madden Quotes
I’m lucky. I’m the luckiest guy in the world. I never really had a job. I was a football player, then a football coach, then a football broadcaster. It’s been my life. Pro football has been my life since 1967. I’ve enjoyed every part of it. Never once did it ever feel like work.
John Madden – Lucky – Jobs – Life – Work – Enjoyment
They talk about how hard coaches work. They work 18, 20 hours a day. They sleep on a couch. They don’t come home. You know, that’s not the hard job. The hard job is a coach’s wife, believe me. The job of the coach’s wife, she has to be mother, father, driver, doctor, nurse, coach, everything, because the coach is out there working.
John Madden – Jobs – Hard Work – Family
The only yardstick for success our society has is being a champion. No one remembers anything else.
John Madden – Success – Winning
As I look back now on my coaching career, I think of my family, I think of the days that we spent together. I say this to coaches everywhere: If you ever have a chance to take your kids with you, take them. Don’t miss that opportunity. Because when it’s all over and done with, when you look back, those are going to be your fondest memories.
John Madden – Jobs – Family
Self-praise is for losers. Be a winner. Stand for something. Always have class, and be humble.
John Madden – Winning – Self Help – Optimistic

NFL network wants to be part of the basic channel lineup, but they also probably want a lot of money for each subscriber.
