Fowler is still going to call games with Herbie, he just doesnt want all the travel. He will be missed.

tv show by far (I know what that says about me) which I look forward to every Satuday in Fall. Davis is fine, but Fowler has a sense of humor and the prodding that he gives to the guys on the set is important to the atmosphere of the show. IMO he is the key element of the success of that show.
February 5th, 2015 at 8:14 PM ^
Wow. I've been watching him in that chair for close to 20 years. Kind of sad.
I wonder why. Davis certainly isn't any better than fowler.
Who will control lou holtz now?
February 5th, 2015 at 8:59 PM ^
Its because Rece's contract with ESPN was up and he wanted to do something bigger than get stuck with Mark and Lou all day. So in order to keep an extremely valuable employee (he does a ton for them) they had to give him a bigger role to keep FOX/CBS's hands off him. And this was rumored back when Fowler signed his deal last year. Still kind of surprising though.

Color commentary for the most part is nothing but inane chatter. When watching Chris Collinsworth on SNF, I get the strong desire to club him into silence.

C'mon...you would hate it if it were one hour. Not enough time to properly hit on everything, and I doubt they would do any features at all. And if you really want to watch just an hour of the show, no one is forcing you to start at 8am. Just turn on Gameday at 11am and pretend that's when the show starts.

I mean Jesus...what's the problem here? If you only want to watch an hour, watch an hour. I personally like it the way it is and so do a ton of other people. And TV moved away from game analysis a long time ago, because unless its their team/game they are talking about, hardly anyone gives a shit. That type of coverage ain't coming back.
February 5th, 2015 at 8:17 PM ^
Wouldn't you get rid of the guys who can barely speak English first? Yeah, I'm looking at you, Lou!
February 5th, 2015 at 8:20 PM ^
What makes you thay that?
February 5th, 2015 at 8:19 PM ^
Am I the only one that hates Fowler in the booth?

I cannot believe people exist who actually like Musberger. He is awful. I am so thankful he hasn't broadcast a Michigan game in years.
Aside from the fact that I dislike his football calling and he's biased as hell, his World Cup coverage was the worst sports broadcasting I have ever heard in my life.
Does no one around here remember Keith Jackson, and what a damn fine broadcast actually sounds like?
February 5th, 2015 at 8:33 PM ^
But Fowler and Musberger are two of my favorites. All time favorite ESPN combo, however, is Brad Nessler and Todd Blackledge.

If ESPN still gives an entire show to Skip Bayless and Stephen A Smith, then you know their standards are 'Whatever gets people to watch ESPN'

Lucky freaking guy. I don't know if I could've tolerated working every fall with those two clowns.
February 5th, 2015 at 8:58 PM ^
See, I love Rece as the main host of Game Day Final. I think the three of them have a good rapport. I wonder who will replace him there.
February 5th, 2015 at 8:24 PM ^
He always does a good job, is professional, rarely shows bias, but is still enthusiastic and accurate. I really like him and he rarely mis-speaks. He's a class act.
February 5th, 2015 at 8:28 PM ^
February 5th, 2015 at 8:31 PM ^
I actually like Rece Davis, but Chris Fowler is probably my favorite ESPN guy because he covers my two favorite sports, College Football and Tennis
February 5th, 2015 at 8:56 PM ^
I like tennis, too. I'm jealous that he gets a free two week vacation in Australia every January.
February 5th, 2015 at 8:33 PM ^
Many many years ago, when I was an international exchange student, I saw ESPN GameDay for my very first time and I thought Lee Corso was Mel Brooks. It took a while for my friends to convince me he was actually somebody else. I thought he was really funny and I still like Corso. Kind of embarrassing but I though I'd share anyways.

The two are almost alike
