So I won't be using the mute button as much as I could. Nice.
December 7th, 2010 at 1:48 PM ^
Thank the football gods. If I had to listen to Matt Millen again this season my head would explode. He should be banned for life from the entire sport of football
December 7th, 2010 at 1:58 PM ^
That's six
December 7th, 2010 at 2:01 PM ^
Are we suddenly claiming that an announcing team with CRAIG JAMES is better than any other announcing team?
I'd rather have a team comprised of Pam Ward, Jon Gruden, and Bill Walton.
December 7th, 2010 at 2:11 PM ^
That is a very bold claim. I dislike Craig James as much as the next guy, but Pam Ward, Jon Gruden and Bill Walton is enough to incite a mass suicide before the game even starts.
You are talking about three god awful announcers together as one. I can't even imagine what would happen.
JG: "This Denard Robinson kid is the best to ever grace a football field. He is just a gamer! But so is this MSU QB, he can just play!"
PW: Unintelligible garble.
BW: This Denard character can really run, but he's got nothing on my son Luke. Luke would have rushed for 300 yards!
JG: Yeah, Bill, your son was a gamer!
PW: Derp.
BW: Man, Luke would've won this game himself!
<Shudder>
December 7th, 2010 at 2:21 PM ^
ran Mike Leach out of town. That alone is worse than what any other announcer has ever done, and it doesn't even get into the fact that he is really, really terrible at talking.
December 7th, 2010 at 4:24 PM ^
I think Gruden would say something more along the lines of, "This Denard Robinson guy is really good. They call him the pallbearer, because he's always makin' jokes!"
Or, "Mike Martin is just a monster. They call him the skyscraper because in his spare time he loves to fish!"
December 7th, 2010 at 8:31 PM ^
If there's a game I'm not going to, and I find out Pam Ward is our sideline reporter I get frickin pissed, really it affects my whole viewing experience. I don't understand what the hell the network sees in her.

Apparently I'm the only one that thinks Matt Millen is a good announcer.
December 7th, 2010 at 10:25 PM ^
Millen was considered to be one of the best announcers prior to being hired as GM of the Lions.
So either he got worse during the intervening years, or people 'round these parts just hold a grudge because of the shitty job he did as GM.
I'm guessing it's the latter.
December 7th, 2010 at 1:48 PM ^
Thank god no Musburger, or however you spell his dam name.
December 7th, 2010 at 1:59 PM ^
Watch your tongue. Brent is a drink consuming god! He and Herbstreit would be much favored over having Craig James, even if Mike Patrick is also high on my list.
December 7th, 2010 at 1:49 PM ^
Several bullets (one Pam Ward-shaped, one Matt Millen-shaped) dodged.
December 7th, 2010 at 1:50 PM ^
another one lou 'spitz' holtz
December 7th, 2010 at 1:57 PM ^
Pam Ward is a more like a Scud Missile, to my ears at least.
December 7th, 2010 at 3:51 PM ^
A grenade...wait, scratch that: no one from ever far away would look at that and go "yea, I could get with that".
December 7th, 2010 at 2:00 PM ^
Glad they're not making the trip.
December 7th, 2010 at 2:02 PM ^
is a good color commentator.
December 7th, 2010 at 2:11 PM ^
Matt Millen could cure cancer, get me a date with Megan Fox, and kick Danny Hope in the balls on national TV. He's still Matt Millen. As such, I hate him so.
December 7th, 2010 at 2:12 PM ^
It's probably because I'm not a Lions fan, but I agree with you. He's never really rubbed me the wrong way.
December 7th, 2010 at 2:34 PM ^
After his demonstration of football genius with the Lions, I'm simply unable to trust any of his "expert" commentary.
December 7th, 2010 at 1:50 PM ^
You had me scared. Thought you were warning of an impending Ward Bomb on my ears.
December 7th, 2010 at 1:51 PM ^
The suspense and terror made it that much better.
December 7th, 2010 at 1:49 PM ^
no Millen, no Millen, aaaaaaand Stop!
December 7th, 2010 at 2:07 PM ^
Pam Ward to your subject line too.
December 7th, 2010 at 2:11 PM ^
as much as I do Millen.
December 7th, 2010 at 8:23 PM ^
December 7th, 2010 at 9:19 PM ^
Thank you and thank God I wasn't drinking milk at the time.
Pam Ward. Tenacious like bull.
December 7th, 2010 at 2:34 PM ^
You'll never get a Millenwhammy.
December 7th, 2010 at 3:30 PM ^
December 7th, 2010 at 3:35 PM ^
I don't remember all the details, it's been a while since I saw the documentary. I do know he pissed all the money away with some other scam attempt.
December 7th, 2010 at 4:04 PM ^
He had to press his luck with a few of those spins he aquired, but he managed even though he only knew the one pattern.
He then blew most of his money in a Florida real estate scam. He was left with like $40k. A local radio station had a competition for getting bills with consecutive serial numbers. So he withdrew all this from a bank in $1 bills. Apparently it took him days to go through it all, laying them all over the house and attracting some attention. He left for a Christmas party and someone stole all of it.
This I didn't know:
Shortly thereafter, Larson got involved with an illegal scheme to sell part of a nationwide lottery. As a result, Larson went on the run, leaving Ohio. His family was contacted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Internal Revenue Service, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, but none knew his whereabouts.[1]
Larson died of throat cancer on February 16, 1999, in Apopka, Florida. Only after his death did his family find out where he had been living
December 7th, 2010 at 1:50 PM ^
The last time this crew did a Michigan bowl game in the State of Florida?
December 7th, 2010 at 1:50 PM ^
F*^& Craig James! Glad I'm going to be at the game
December 7th, 2010 at 2:06 PM ^
I don't know whether to give u a +1 for going the bowl game or neg you out of jealousy....
December 7th, 2010 at 5:26 PM ^
I'm Craig James bitch!
December 7th, 2010 at 1:54 PM ^
I was hoping ESPN would have hired Chris Martin by then.
December 7th, 2010 at 1:58 PM ^
That sucks. I was hoping for Pam Ward, Matt Millen, and Goose on the sideline.
December 7th, 2010 at 2:00 PM ^
get to keep his job (oh joy).
December 7th, 2010 at 2:02 PM ^
Why??? Did RR put one of Craig's kids in a shed? I hope Barwis didn't overwork Craig's boy in the weight room!
December 7th, 2010 at 2:03 PM ^
nearly gave me a heart attack. i assumed that you used it to hide pam ward. be gentle, young fellow.
December 7th, 2010 at 2:04 PM ^
Where's Lloyd, I bet Todd Harris has a halftime question for him.
December 7th, 2010 at 10:13 PM ^
Why would you make a dumb comment like that?
December 7th, 2010 at 2:07 PM ^
December 7th, 2010 at 2:55 PM ^
I am with you my friend. No one can match Mr. Jackson in my book. He is college football to me.
