Good thing NY people have a short memory.
September 10th, 2018 at 7:16 PM ^
Now there's a stat - the Jets did not throw a pick six all year last year.
And they just tossed one up to start the season.
September 10th, 2018 at 7:18 PM ^
Almost unlistenable due to Beth Mowins. Ouch.
September 10th, 2018 at 7:24 PM ^
I was in the kitchen cooking when I heard the pick six call and I was thinking that, popular or not, I’m still not used to hearing a woman play-by-play for football. I think it’s because of Pam Ward, and I actually thought that was Pam’s voice instead of Beth’s.
September 10th, 2018 at 7:31 PM ^
Griese isn't much better. This sounds like a high school game broadcast on public access.
September 10th, 2018 at 9:36 PM ^
Well it is the Lions.
September 10th, 2018 at 7:41 PM ^
She’s one of the best play by play analysts ESPN has IMO. Better than 95% of the people they have for football. I like Mcdonaugh and Fowler more. That’s probably it.
September 10th, 2018 at 7:59 PM ^
We will have to agree to disagree on this one my friend. She makes me want to mute the tv. And agreed about Griese, he sounds like he ate a handful of ludes during pregame.
September 11th, 2018 at 9:06 AM ^
this issue isn't a matter of differing opinions. You are right and he is wrong. She is objectively bad
September 10th, 2018 at 7:48 PM ^
It's actually kind of entertaining if this is the face you put with the voice:

She "pushes her voice". It sounds unnatural, like she's faking a man's voice.
September 10th, 2018 at 8:32 PM ^
It's like Reba McIntyre and Sean Connery mated
September 10th, 2018 at 9:19 PM ^
Bingo. Well said.
September 11th, 2018 at 2:20 AM ^
She sucks! Bad!
It's not a woman thing for me... I hope. I really like Dottie Pepper(?) golf, Chris Evert (Tennis).
Beth M is just like finger nails meet chalk board, bad.
But you know, ESPN will force feed people on us.
September 10th, 2018 at 7:25 PM ^
Defensive line struggling a bit so far, but made a play when they had to at least.
September 11th, 2018 at 6:10 AM ^
You shouldn't have started your post by making fun of Sam Darnold. Kid looks like the real deal, and your "Darnold the Great, L-O fucking L" comment makes you look like a fool.
September 10th, 2018 at 7:33 PM ^
Darnold is...not great at football? That pick six was a hilariously ill advised throw.
September 10th, 2018 at 8:00 PM ^
I was trying to remember when they teach you not to throw late, across the field. 5th grade?
September 10th, 2018 at 8:48 PM ^
Welp, I stand corrected. Steve Young just said he was 8....
September 11th, 2018 at 1:13 AM ^
How great was Stafford?! LMAO!
September 10th, 2018 at 7:34 PM ^
and yet, the lions are getting worked on both lines.
September 10th, 2018 at 7:36 PM ^
Slay is down hurt. Ugh
September 10th, 2018 at 7:40 PM ^
I STILL DONT KNOW WHAT A CATCH IS
September 10th, 2018 at 7:42 PM ^
The rule book creators hate the Lions
September 10th, 2018 at 7:41 PM ^
The lions are going to be terrible this year
September 10th, 2018 at 9:28 PM ^
The lions are going to be terrible EVERY year. FIFY.
September 10th, 2018 at 9:43 PM ^
think you can shorten it to:
the lions are terrible.
September 10th, 2018 at 7:42 PM ^
Oh what the fuck? That’s not a catch!
September 10th, 2018 at 7:47 PM ^
100% not a catch.
September 10th, 2018 at 7:43 PM ^
First. I am watching in Spanish because Beth Mowens is that damn insufferable. Second. Even though that pass looked to have been clearly dropped, I knew they would not overturn it... poor damn Lions hah
September 10th, 2018 at 9:21 PM ^
Haha. Feelin the same pain.
September 11th, 2018 at 6:14 AM ^
I did the same thing!! You could hear the sounds from the field and the crowd noise but not Mowins' annoying voice. It sounds like she is trying to force a southern accent, even though she is from upstate NY.
That being said, I used to mute UM TV broadcasts and listen to the radio but I've gotten away from that. I can't take Brandstetter any more. He describes nothing, i.e. formation, type of running play, pass patterns, defensive sets. Even after the play, he doesn't tell you what kind of play it was. (Dierdorf is sadly no help) Plus, he forces his voice as if he was in a movie trying to play the role of a play-by-play guy calling the last 2 minutes of a tied Super Bowl. Just call the damn game and knock off the drama.
September 10th, 2018 at 7:45 PM ^
The radio feed isn’t much better. Lomas brown is horrible
September 10th, 2018 at 7:46 PM ^
Detroit is going 0-16 my God...
September 10th, 2018 at 8:14 PM ^
They might salvage a tie here.
September 10th, 2018 at 8:25 PM ^
No, they will not go 0-16.
They will go 3-9 at which point they will run off a 4 game meaningless win streak to finish the season 7-9. This will propel them from the 5th pick in the draft to the 18th pick where they will take a massive reach on somebody who either gets hurt or is a complete bust.
That is how the Lions' season will go because that is how every Lions' season goes. I have seen it so many times that I no longer need to watch.
September 10th, 2018 at 10:14 PM ^
No, they are going to make a serious run at the #1 overall pick. There is NO WAY Stafford survives this season and even then 2-3 wins max............
September 10th, 2018 at 9:30 PM ^
That Detroit-Buffalo game is going to be a battle to see who’s #1....in next years draft
September 10th, 2018 at 7:46 PM ^
Not even mad, Morris Claiborne is a bad man.
September 10th, 2018 at 7:47 PM ^
everything about this game sucks. just total garbage
September 10th, 2018 at 8:24 PM ^
They look legit awful
September 10th, 2018 at 7:48 PM ^
Definitely not seeing why Jim Caldwell had to be fired yet lol..
September 10th, 2018 at 7:49 PM ^
It's the first quarter of the first game. Caldwell's Lions would be down 14 already.
September 10th, 2018 at 7:52 PM ^
Stafford has 0 yards
September 10th, 2018 at 8:44 PM ^
They are running Caldwell's offense. How they kept Cooter around is beyond me. Havent had a good offense since Linehan (sp) left. He at least let Stafford us his arm down field. The one thing he is good at.
September 11th, 2018 at 7:43 AM ^
This isn't true. They fired Lombardi. Jesus.
September 11th, 2018 at 12:19 AM ^
Can we count the interception yards to his stats? Possibly check to see if he is color blind? Stafford seems to keep throwing to the other team with regularity.
