Fox clearly overreacted to the discourse around Tony Romo’s hype and contract at the time, and, later on, Buck and Aikman jumping to ESPN. They probably should have started off with a three man team (Burkhardt, Brady, and Olsen), and gradually moved on like they did with Buck, Colingsworth, and Aikman (from what I remembered) years back.

Olsen is solid to good, but I think that Fox feels that he is not a big enough color commentator :dame:for their marquee games.

I liked my boy GOlsen! Felt like they dogged “G-Reg” (for my 9th Floor Crew lol)

Tom is okay, he has definitely gotten much better. But I still like Olsen as the “A” slot
With all the restrictions being a minority owner of the Raiders being placed on him, I wonder how long he's gonna be in the booth.

TYRONE GA!
He’s ok.

Him getting paid $37M a year for 10 years is still wild to me.

same feeling.

nobody really watches NFL games for the announcer like that anymore. You knew it was a big game with Madden and Summerral were commentating, but that's about it. You can pay Beavis and Butthead a fraction of that and people will tune in. Overpaying just because is dumb as fukk.

But :salute: Tom and his agent on the fleece

Aaron Donald, probably the best defensive player in football was making 31 million per year. Boy I tell ya, capitalism. :russ:

Awkward and tense. He needs to relax and let the conversation flow.

His grading of throws is a solid gimmick though.

This.

Not being able to criticize players and/or officials? That's quite literally part of the job description. Fox took an L on this because he was starting to get better, but now he has to be vague as hell if someone is genuinely shytty.

They should've kept Olsen and Burkhardt together. They were probably my favorite combo outside of Buck and Aikman.

Burkhart is the PbP guy. Brady does color
