I can't believe that they let John Clayton on TV.  He looks like a leper with terminal cancer.

Couldn't agree more.  It's a cliche, but last night was the first time I muted a NFL game while watching it because of Theisman and Millen.   I would have made a list of all the dumb shtein they said but I had better things to do with my life.  So terrible.

He's been phased out for the most part. Schefter and Mort have made him and Pasquarelli irrelevant. Lenny P to the point where he left and went to the SportsXChange.

millens actually really good, its just theismann is horrendous

id ask nfl network what they were thinking but they already hired bryant gumbel to do play by play so i guess that question is answered

Millen told Baltimore to run out of bounds on the kick return at the end of the game to stop the clock, and that they would have to burn a timeout when Heap went down, even after it was clear to everyone they were going to use a TO in that situation anyway.  Theisman is leagues worse, no argument there, but I don't see any awards being handed Millen's way after last night.

I don't have NFL network, so I don't get to see the Thursday games, but the NFL allows the team markets to show their broadcast, so I saw this game.  I could not believe how awful the announcing crew was.  Even my mother couldn't stand them.

Millen was atrocious, easily a match for Theisman.  They couldn't call a play as it happened correctly...they waited until long after the play was over to say what was happening.  They get everyone's names wrong, talk about crap that doesn't matter while the game is under way, etc.

You'd think NFL would lay out some coin to put on a better show instead of this gang of idiots.

related to Dio's point, ABC turned down the chance to carry the Eagles/taterskins game on monday instead sticking with Dancing with the Stars, so the Eagles game got bumped to CW17.  i find that incredible and i'm sure Joey threw a temper tantrum over at NovaCare when it happened

i won't believe that until todd confirms it.
