    He just needs to talk a little bit less in my opinion. He's likeable

    Uh oh. I'm going to grab some popcorn and wait for Jon to show up. This has potential.

    I agree with you, by the way. He's done a pretty good job in the few times I've listened to him. I've seen good reviews, too.

    I'm too young to have appreciated Jim Brown, and didn't appreciate Payton like I probably should have. But to me, Barry Sanders is the best running back I've ever seen.

    Yesterday something changed for me in youtube and half the clickable items stopped working buttons disable or missing , ads more annoying , I poked around and found an option to go back to the old youtube which was almost ok but , after a while it reset to the new garbage version .

    I'm sick and tired of google's bull$hit , everything they touch lately works less , slower , or not at all . They are circling the drain big time.

    Sanders was the best I've ever seen.

    That one clip vs the Cowboys where the defender has his back facing Sanders as he sprints by is amazing, lol..

    That hit on Adams was horrific. Anyone who thinks the game is soft today should take a look at that replay.

    Agreed that hit was vicious but it was to an extreme, Adams was defenseless and his helmet was absolutely targeted. Either way let's hope he is ok

    I can't believe Trevathan wasn't immediately kicked out of the game. Let's hope the NFL suspends him, preferably for at least as long as Adams is out.

    He got 2 games, I think it should have been 4 honestly. Tell ya what if it was Burfict he would have gotten probably 8 games for that hit

    Watching the Broncos-raiders game which is the first game I've gotten with nantz and Romo in the booth. Romo's voice is a bit too high pitched to my liking. He needs to rein it in a bit. He's also a bit corny, imo. He's a likable guy but I prefer Simms, at least at this point.

    Hopefully he will improve. Just don't find him that enjoyable to listen to at this point, at least as far as yesterday's game between Oak and Denver was concerned. And I like Romo.

    His week 4 game might've been his worst yet. Maybe good reviews went to his head. But I do think his knowledge of today's game trumps Simms by a mile. He's calling exact plays before they happen and seems engaged. I always found Simms to be a bit of a snooze.

    He seems pretty good with those. Not perfect, but who is?

    It would be awesome. Burlington, WI kid comes home and leads the Packers to a Super Bowl victory. Does something in Green Bay that he couldn't do in what, 13 seasons in Dallas?

    he seems to have a good sense of what play or strategy a Team should use, when he says as much he is quite often right.

    I Watched both games on Sunday as many did. the announcers doing the Saints-Rams game were terrible. I'm Glad that Romo was doing the Chiefs-Pats game. All kinds of comments from a players point of view.

    He is the best analyst in the game. I can see now why CBS put him in the booth right off the bat with the #1 team. I was skeptical at first but he has completely won me over. He is terrific.

    Gotta say, I was skeptical about Romo at first, but have grown to really enjoy his commentary. He certainly knows what's going on in the game and comments well on defensive moves and offensive plays on both opponents.

    Seems like a happy go lucky kinda person. How he let Carrie Underwood slip through his fingers is a mystery.

    He is much better in the booth than he was on the field. He talks a great game...…...he just couldn't get it done on the field.
