Joey Galloway sucks. I don't think we need to analyze his comments to know that.

This one bugged me as well. Clearly it was a penalty. The referee mistakenly announced it as a late hit, but it was a facemask. Galloway chirping about the defender's feet being allowed to follow through with the tackle as the replay ran showing Gardner's head being turned was pretty bad.
However, nothing will ever top Urban Meyer calling "The Game" while his agent ironed out the final details of his contract with OSU. He was slobbering all over Braxton Miller. Michigan won so it more-or-less went ignored, but he was just attrocious knowing any praise or even even keeled analysis he offered up for Michigan could be held against him once he officially took the job days later.

August 31st, 2014 at 4:03 PM ^
They sucked.
End of story.
No thread necessary.

It was a difficult broadcast to listen to. I want that TV with the setting to mute the comentators but let through the croud noise.

He was pretty much just being honest.

Galloway is really terrible. It was difficult to listen to him and his constant arrogance. Hope he blows a vocal chord and shuts it down for the season.

I still can't believe there was no mention of what happened with the timeout right before the third down play for App State when they came back from commercial. The last thing the audience sees before the commercial is a sack, then the broadcast returns and it is third down again. There was another play where a flag was thrown and they mentioned it, but nothing was called and once again they commentators did not offer an explanation.
It was bad enough hearing Joey talk about how great it was, but there is no excuse for how bad the overall coverage was.
August 31st, 2014 at 5:07 PM ^
from a commercial the repeated third down also resulted in a tackle for a loss (a sack this time).
I was a tad confused, and I was sober.
You would think why the teams were playing a complete down again would at least be worth mentioning.

You're still surprised when ESPN puts a dogshit product on the field?
That's like being Charlie Brown and being surprised when Lucy pulls the football away. ESPN has been shitting up sports for about 15 years.

solves the "color commentary by Joey Galloway" problem nicely.

The '92 tie was "one of the biggest wins in Ohio State history" according to them.

I find it funny how people here love Desmond Howard for always showing his Michigan bias but hate former OSU players who do the same for OSU. If you think all ESPN broadcasters should not show bias, that's fine but don't be a hypocrite. People make way too big a deal about former OSU players calling Michigan games. The alma maters of the commentators doesn't even cross the minds of the people setting up the schedules for the weeks games and it's not a huge deal.
August 31st, 2014 at 4:17 PM ^
we're Michigan fans, not ohio state fans.....
August 31st, 2014 at 4:30 PM ^
Thats not a fair comparison.
Desmond is in the studio offering his opinions, biased as they may be. Galloway is on the broadcast, where commentators are expected to be unbiased and call the game objectively, unless its a ND Fig Thing game on NBC, but lets not get into that...
August 31st, 2014 at 4:57 PM ^
This! Totally different jobs. A commentator should be unbiased.

....you mean like OSU.

I kind of chuckled when they showcased some downfield blocking by a wide out and Beth took a jab at Joey saying something about him not having any experience with that.
August 31st, 2014 at 5:18 PM ^
I also liked the battering he gave Gardener for "being confused" last year. You can tell he has no idea what he's talking about.
August 31st, 2014 at 6:23 PM ^
Oh, wait. Now I remember. Typical 11W commentary.

I don't think Joey Galloway was being bias...he's just an unprepared idiot like 99% of other broadcasters

The actual quote is attributed to Napoleon, and goes something very close to "never attribute to malice that which can be adeqately explained by stupidity."

He said green had had maturity issues, but had overcome them. That's perfectly believable; the lack of weight control was probably at least partially a maturity issue.

the rest of us?
