    Now granted the 49ers vs. Packer (this year) isn't exactly a worthy game for great announcers but these guys don't deserve a Lions vs. Cardinals game. Is it really that hard to find guys who just know football and can call a game with a straight face.

    From their lame jokes and non stop laughing to stuff that isn't really funny. Then it seemed as if they were bias for the 49ers early and then completely jumped ship to the Packers in the 4th like they new the Pack were going to win all along.

    This was the announcing..

    Frank Gore breaks off of KGB's tackle - "hahahahaha"

    Greg Jennings is clearly out of bounce and this won't take long - "hahahahahahaha"

    Definitely have to take your throws at Patrick Dendy instead of Charles Woodson and Al Harris - "hahahahahaha"

    They then spent debating the last 5 minutes on whether Favre should come back. That's find and understandable as it is the Packers and Brett Favre but then they say well this is league where you need to win right away and I'm not sure if Favre can win with this team. And Aaron Rodgers can? I don't mind moving on with Rodgers but not for that reason. For the development of this teams future is the reason why. Saying Rodgers is a better fit is an off base statement.

    Tim Ryan is by far the worse announcer I've ever heard and nearly drove me nutz the 1st half of the game.

    Now I see why Lions fans are so crabby after the Lions lose because they have to put up with this type of announcing every week.

    At least you didn't have the lowest broadcast % like the Vikings/Lions. That was pretty terrible. I turned the TV on mute and turned on the radio for half the game.

    I did the exact samething but I only could stand it for 5 minutes. I don't think I could handle listening to the fox annoucers for a whole half

    Vasgerian is pretty weak. Doesn't he announce ultimate fighting or something "extreme" i.e lame.

    LOL It's says something for those announcers Porky when as soon as I saw the thread title I knew it would be from the GB game. The worst thing is they were saying everything the GB organization needed to do when you could tell they didn't have a clue.
    As for the Viking game VF I watched that and when I found out it was Jesse Palmer it all made sence. If you actually listened to him you realized he didn't say one thing the casual fan didn't already know.
