Alright, listen up, y’all! We’re gonna yak about them fellas who blabber on the TV during them football games, you know, the NFL commentators in 2020. Yeah, them talkin’ heads.
I ain’t no fancy expert or nothin’, but I watch me some football, and I got ears, see? Some of them fellas, they make sense, kinda like when my old man used to tell me how to plant potatoes. Others, well, they just yap and yap, and I swear, sometimes I think a rooster makes more sense.
Now, some folks, they like that Jim Nantz and Tony Romo fella. They say they’re the best. I dunno, Romo, he was a quarterback, so I guess he knows a thing or two about throwin’ the pigskin. Nantz, he’s been around forever, like that old oak tree down by the creek. They’re smooth, I’ll give ’em that, like butter on a hot biscuit. But sometimes, I think they talk too much, you know? Like when your neighbor’s wife corners you at the grocery store and just goes on and on about her bunions.
- Nantz and Romo – Some say they’re the best, smooth talkers.
- Kevin Harlan – He’s on CBS, calls it like he sees it, I reckon.
Then there’s that Kevin Harlan fella. He’s alright. Calls the game like he sees it, I reckon. No fancy words or nothin’, just straight shootin’. Reminds me of my cousin Billy, always tells it like it is, even if it ain’t pretty. Sometimes that’s what you need, you know? No sugar-coating, just the plain ol’ truth, like when the doctor tells you your cholesterol is higher than a kite.
And them fellas on the NFL Network, there’s a whole bunch of ’em. They got shows and all that. Some of ’em are alright, some are…well, let’s just say they like the sound of their own voices a bit too much. Like my prize-winning rooster, all crow and no substance. It’s like when you go to the county fair and see all them folks sellin’ stuff, some of it’s good, some of it’s just plain junk.
I heard tell that Peyton Manning, that quarterback fella, he’s a fan favorite when it comes to talkin’ ’bout football. Folks like him, I guess. He was a smart player, always knew what he was doin’ out there on the field. Probably makes sense he’d be good at talkin’ about it too. Smart as a whip, that one. Reminds me of the time my grandson figured out how to fix the tractor all by himself.
Now, I ain’t gonna lie, I don’t pay too much attention to all them grades and rankings them folks put on the commentators. They got all sorts of numbers and letters, like C this and 13th that. Makes my head spin faster than a whirligig in a tornado. I just listen to ’em, and if they make sense, I listen. If they don’t, well, I just turn down the sound and watch the game. Simple as that.
ESPN, they got their own folks too, makin’ their picks and such. Everyone’s got an opinion, I guess. That’s what makes it fun, right? Like arguing with your brother-in-law about who makes the best barbeque sauce.
So, there you have it, my two cents on them NFL commentators of 2020. Some good, some bad, some just plain noisy. But hey, that’s football, right? It’s all about opinions and yellin’ at the TV. And eating snacks of course.
In the end, it don’t really matter who’s talkin’, as long as the game is good and the beer is cold. And maybe, just maybe, them commentators can tell you somethin’ you didn’t already know. But don’t hold your breath, now. Sometimes, watchin’ the game in silence ain’t so bad neither.
That’s all I gotta say about them fellas. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go check on my chickens.
