Fire Paul Maguire

When you begin almost every sentence for 10 years with "I'll tell you what, you talk about...." you deserve to get canned. Why do ESPN and ABC keep this guy around?

UPDATE: I'm not alone. If you have Sunday Ticket you'll love this.

Haha! Nice. I have to tell you Scott, as a lefty I don't agree with you very often, but we're on the same page here. Maguire uses that phrase like some people use "um" or "well." :-)

I absolutely agree with Dr. Z. NFL announcing has sucked for a while now. I enjoy watching the games in a sports bar 'cause there the noise usually drowns out the commentator's drivel. If you know a little about the game then the commentator is really a redundancy anyway. I don't need them to point out to me that a touchdown has been scored or that a defensive player yanked a receiver down by his facemask.

Whoever is in charge of replays... I like that. And doing the X's and O's onscreen to illustrate how the defensive and offensive backs caused a given scrimmage to play out the way that it did is useful and interesting at times. But, I'd rather they just shut up and announce the game.
