You love to complain about them, but why? Read more...

I have more of a problem with the length of the TV timeouts with CBS more so than with Gerne & Vary.

I have a problem with the flip flopping sides when somebody makes a good play. It sounds like our plays are minor and if auburn makes a play they are so much better than us big time. RTR!

But we all know what the score is, don't we, Preacher?

Well I'll say this again even though it sounds self serving.  I worked at ABC-TV in NYC for several years during the heyday of Roone Arledge and ABC Sports.   I knew many of the producers and execs in the Sports dept.  Gotta tell you, they would never have put up with the nonsense we hear from Verne and Gary.  I cannot understand why CBS keeps these guys on their flagship telecast.

Howard Cosell was taken off Monday Night Football.  Warner Wolf was taken of baseball.  Big "names" are not 'immune' and can be replaced.

Hey McBaman did you ever know Keith Jackson? If so how was he? RTR!

Everybody cancel your engagements on Nov. 29 so you won't miss the CBS documentary celebrating Verne's 50-year career.

I hate listening to Verne and Gary.  Here's MY poll:  (choose as many as apply)

1.  They make way too many mistakes
2.  They beat a horse well past death
3.  They bring up past years and results repetitively
4.  They interrupt the flow of the game by continuing to talk about a penalty that wasn't called
5.   Verne no longer has any original thought; he reads off his script/storyline to the point of total boredom, and insists on interjecting it even when not applicable
6.  Gary just talks too much

I like Verne & Gary. Verne is a good old guy with a great sense of humor & he enjoys having fun at work. Danielson is very observant & astute about the game, along with a good sense of humor. He played QB in the NFL 13 years so he knows the game. By the way, did you catch Danielson's comment during the Miss. State game? He was joking about how they have been part of 5 Tide games this year & he said they, the producers, & crew called CBS the Crimson Broadcasting System. I love it.

Wow, sounds like Eli Gold.

50 years is enough.  Time for Verne to pack it in.

Preach -- I didn't know Kieth as he was based in California and seldom came into NYC.

I think I would call it a tie between the two!
