[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 859268, member: 265"] I've gotten to where I can hardly listen to a college football game anymore. The commentary is notoriously fact free happy talk aimed at at that part of the audience that knows very little indeed about football and making fans fro both sides feel good. When I think back to Lee Grosscup, John Unitas in his first couple of years, or even Don Meredith the contrast ia disheartening. Those people would actually call out bad play on a regular basis and, if a team wasn't very good, would go ahead say so. Nowadays there is always something nice to say about really wretched performances. I understand this, but it really does make listening to games difficult. One partial exception: our own Roddy Jones. Roddy pretty much calls it as it is, though he's gotten suspiciously more cheerful in the last year or so. [/QUOTE]
