Must be a dangerous job.  Chris Stewart has been through the wringer as a fairly young man.

I always thought Eli did a better job calling basketball than football, but I'm sure that job is a little more labor intensive and pays less.

Sure hope Eli gets back to good health soon though.  He's a staple.

I love Eli's voice, and he's been the playcaller almost all of my life. But I've always thought he was terrible at actually describing the action.

"Handoff to the left side, BIG HOLE <long pause>...........it'll bring up 2nd and 7."

It's hard to follow pesky little details like downs and distance, but by gosh, you know what color pants they're wearing and what color "piping" the pants have on them.

I enjoy listening to Eli call games but always thought he should give the down/distance more often.  I like Chris Stewart too but don't care much for his announcing style. Course, it has been a pretty good while since I actually listened to a Bama football game since most all of them are televised these days...
