The WORST BROADCAST in NFL on FOX HISTORY
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 дек 2021
- In 1995, during a game between the Arizona Cardinals and San Diego Chargers, for some inexplicable reason, FOX decided to have no play-by-play person, and have Terry Bradshaw, a color commentator who hadn't worked a game since 1990, and Jimmy Johnson, another color commentator with no prior experience in the booth, broadcast the nationally televised game. Unsurprisingly, it was an unparalleled disaster. This is the story behind that NFL broadcast

Tbf. The Manningcast is basically two color commentators. Most plays have no description. They ignore tons of plays, there is dead air, there are gaffes, and they will tune out of a lopsided game, and it is awesome.
I wrote the same. The idea isn't bad, the choice of who to do it was terrible.
Eli Manning played the two, greatest, Games of his life in the two, most, important Games of his life, and, that can't be said, enough, period.
@paulgaither He, beat, Tom Brady twice, actually, being a, good, commentator would have, simply, been a, truly, nice caveat, that's all.
The Mannings are entertaining though
@ericthomas917 Eli Manning, American Hero, it's just as, simple, as that.
Bradshaw is the Bill Walton of the NFL. At one point he was painfully shy and never talked to anybody, and then it changed to where nobody could get him to stop talking period.
do u have a source on him being shy
Bill Walton is a hilarious genius...i love that man. Mike him up 24-7!
@@greglaman9548 He can be funny but he's not a great announcer
Probably brain injuries
@@unnanointedonesufi any early 70’s Steelers player will tell you that Bradshaw was heavily criticized and really wouldn’t go out ever. Just go to work and then go home
Play-by-play announcers: Guys who tell you what you already just saw.
Analysists: Guys who try to explain aspects of the game to deep for your comprehension.
These two were certainly not analysts. They weren't even color guys.
I feel bad for you if you actually need someone to explain a simple game to you.
Except John Madden. He was a living Football for Dummies book.
@@guidorrmc7618 No one needs explaining it to me. But thousands, maybe millions, who don't understand get confused by the so-called analysts.
Mute button. What I do.
I remember Jimmy talking about this during a Jags Falcons preseason game in 2011. Even he was joking about how bad this idea was.
The idea was actually good. The vast majority of play by play guys are painful to listen to and make the experience of watching a game worse. All the put on voices and transparently phony enthusiasm distracts from the game. The problem was they didn't put competent commentators on the game. They put a guy that had never done a game before and another guy that hadn't done a game in ten years and was terrible when he did.
The irony about Terry Bradshaw’s performance is that he and Verne Lundquist were the No. 2 CBS team when they were paired. They worked that well together.
Think about who he was with though, Verne was great!!
Bradshaw played it straigh ton CBS in the early 90s. I remember watching the Lions and Cowboys playoff game from '92, and he was like a totally different guy. when he went on Fox Sports for the pregame show was when he started in on the "Hee-Haw" character.
I would’ve liked to hear more of the actual broadcast than this guy blabbering over it the whole time
Exactly
For real. Horrible video lol
It's his fucking page tho. Go type in Terry & Jimmy commentating for the "play by play" lol
@@krambone his fucking page sucks
Thank you
"I don't even know what he was trying to say!"
HE didn't even know what he was trying to say. That's just Terry Bradshaw 😆
I would have waited to do it for a Cowboys vs Steelers game. That would have been entertaining.
The Cowboys beatr the Steelers in the SB that year so yeah give em a few beers and slap a mic in front offem. Great idea.
Not only that, he had been hired by the Dolphins at that time (and the whole FOX crew was even on the NBC halftime) so technically you'd have had a cross network promo
Wow. The part where Johnson says the score is “seventeen to twenty-eight” is the one thing I still remember from the few minutes I watched this. I think Fox touted this as they would be like 2 fans watching the game, and that’s pretty much what they did: watch.
Terry's word vomit as bad as a rating of 39.6,wich is as bad as if you spike the ball on every single play
👍😁
I agree that the broadcast was a disaster but they had two color commentators doing the game. If Pat Summerall were in the booth with either Bradshaw or Johnson, it would have gone well.
Or any play-by-play guy. Even Joe Buck would have made this more tolerable
I always admired Summerall, and Frank Gifford, for being former players who became excellent players by playing men. Many fondly remember Summerall as an excellent golf announcer, and regretted his move to Fox, because he was no longer in the booth at The Masters, though Jim Nantz has filled his shoes well.
Even if they put Madden or Matt Millen with Bradshaw and Johnson, it would have likely worked.
I remember this. It was just them yelling "BLITZ!", "WHOA!"
This wasn't the commentators fault, it was the production's fault. They weren't adequately prepared for broadcast without a play by play man. They needed coaching but they weren't given the help they needed.
Agreed.
The worst broadcast on Fox is every game with Joe Buck
In 1992 ABC had technical difficulties during the ND/USC game & John Saunders announced the game from the studio for 10 minutes & he did a better job
I remember watching that Notre Dame/USC game as a kid. It ended in a 7-7 tie if I remember correctly.
It’d be funny if that happened but then the announcer just decided to lie and say his preferred team started dominating and won 84-0. Nobody would’ve known different until at least the next day.
@@derekward2116 Are you thinking of the 1994 game? That ended 17-17. I was there.
@@johnmanier7968 You're right, it was 1994 and it ended 17-17. I was about twelve years old when I watched on tv with my brother. They were having all sorts of technical difficulties, and I seem to remember the stadium lights going out at one point.
@@MrRyan-wu4jx The mainstream media pretty much does this sort of thing 24/7 now and...it's not funny at all.
One of the best things the different networks did in the playoffs was go on air with the other NFL hosts. Like before an AFC game coming off of the NFC game both studios would be on air talking to each other. I really liked that they started doing that.
Well, I liked it, too, except for Bradshaw's cringe-worthy references to Kurt and JB as his former and current workplace "wives" ... 🤮😫🙄🙄
Did this happen in the 80s between Musburger and Costas (between CBS and NBC)?
@@bmasters1981 Don't recall it between Costas and Musberger, but I've slept since then....
Terry Bradshaw was a color man for cbs with Verne Lundquist until 1990
He and Verne called the Fog Bowl
In 2005 the broadcasters of the Canadian Football league went on strike. The just aired games with no announce team. It was like pop up video.
I’d be fine with that.
Is the NFL popular in Canada
Actually, most of the on-air staff at the CBC (the CFL's broadcaster at the time) went on strike.
Ironically, the CFL left the CBC for TSN at the end of that season (which would be like if the NFL signed an exclusive contract with ESPN)
@@gregpettis1113 Yes
Poor Bradshaw, he was so nervous and terrified prior to the game and scared of criticism about his performance since he is out of his element and he ended up right
The glow puck got panned to no end, but I loved it when I was a kid! I didn’t even care that it was totally unnecessary, I just thought it was cool looking on TV.🤣
We called it Star Wars on Ice or Pucksaber.
I had friends who don't understand hockey like I do say it helped them follow the game. I didn't like it, it was intrusive. Fortunately big HDTV's have rendered it unnecessary today.
To me it was very necessary. It is very hard for me as a legally blind person to follow a puck. The glowing puck helped me immensely. I tuned in for hockey with the glowing puck as much as possible. I stopped once it went away
@@briandonegan8480 As a very casual fan of hockey it helped me follow the game.
@@briandonegan8480 I can completely understand that. Overall it was reaching out to the casual fan, and folks in your situation, which is never a bad thing. To me, watching 100 games a year at the time, it was nowhere near as bad as the mid 90s alternative jerseys (bear head Bruins, Burger King jersey for LA, etc)
I had heard they were thinking of bringing something like it back for streaming broadcasts.
A game like the 80 one where there would be no Buck and Aikman, or better yet like 81 with absolutely no Collinsworth, only Michael's? Yes please!
I like Collinsworth for his analysis. I hate him for being a liberal
Wtf is everyone’s problem with buck?
I consistently get Collinsworth and Rachael Maddow mixed up.
@@HyperInflation2020lol Rachel has a flatter chest
Perhaps, however a much Bigger WeeWee.
Frank Gifford made the transition from color to play by play. He was great.
As did Pat Summerall.
Terry & Jimmy did seem to click in the booth for this game but the absence of a play by play person was very evident. When I saw this game (if anything) it resembled a network broadcast of a surrogate auto race where there's more general talking and less play calling. What Fox should have done (if anything), was do this during one of their preseason telecasts. like a Dallas game in particular (the most popular & successful team back then), but that mayve been prohibited because I would not have been surprised if John Madden (& possibly Pat Summeral) wouldve had something in their respective contracts that they get "first dibs" on pre season assignments.
The RUclips algorithm came through clutch with this one 🤙🏻 came across this video looking through my recommended feed 😂 nice content, bro! Definitely gained a subscriber 💯
Bradshaw can barely do a 15 second highlight at halftime
A few years ago Fox, I believe, had a third guy in the booth for the Pro Bowl who would explain in detail every play the mic'd up QB called. It was really cool and I wish they'd do that again.
That’s basically Tony Romo up in the booth every Sunday. I wish he could call every game, he’s very charismatic, has funny little quips, but his ability to see the play and basically tell you what the QB or team is gonna do on a given play shows how much knowledge he has and it’s fun to see his predictions play out seconds later
@@colonless7512 yeah Romo is awesome in the booth. He doesn't talk too much either, its fun to hear him calling plays before they happen
Damn those dead air moments are cringe, makes me appreciate the magic of the manningcast even more than I already did.
Terry Bradshaw has had a stellar career in broadcasting. In his latter years now, he is coasting and relies a lot on the rapport with the other panelists. Jimmy Johnson is still going strong and has grown into the leader of the panel on the football show.
If you watch video of Terry in his CBS days, he plays it a lot more "straight"- a lot less jokey and less "folksy". He was with Verne Lunquist and the two worked really well together, imo, and it's nice to see Terry in a different role, a little more of the straight man and not so much of the jokester.
The only analogy I can personally think of for this is that I've heard the Yankees do something similar before. There were times when instead of having one of the usual play-by-play guys, they'd have Ken Singleton, who usually did color commentary, call the game alongside fellow color guy John Flaherty. But Singleton had experience doing pbp, and I think Flaherty has some experience as well. They know what they're doing. Having two color guys with no play-by-play for a football game is a recipe for disaster. The only reason the Manningcast works is cuz the people who watch that generally don't need pbp commentary for a football game. We know what the hell we're watching
The Texas Rangers do this with their color guy CJ Nitkowski. For some reason they have him do play-by-play for a handful of games with another color guy in the booth. He's not very good at it, but at least he gives you the necessary information about what's going on. This was just bad. Good luck trying to follow the game with a bunch of dead air and no explanation on what's going on.
@@LinkRocks that's cool to know. I think it's interesting that some baseball teams do this occasionally
Also Ken Singleton calls a better game than Michael Kay so it was actually an upgrade.
The Manningcast also works because it's entertaining rather than just being dead air. And when they do talk about the game they are knowledgeable and insightful, and add in their own experiences.
I'd still listen to this over Buck and Aikman.
"He's Got a groin!" (Don't we all?) 😂 New York Times likes to poke fun
I like THE IDEA of this so much more then having a play by play man in the booth. The kind of information that play by play guys give, especially in todays game because of all the crap on the screen and the information that we all have at the tip of or fingers, is unnecessary.
FOX has done something similar to this the last few years with their NASCAR Xfinity Series broadcast team, with a "Cup Series-drivers-only" broadcast once a season. They still do it today. I still remember the inaugural rain-shortened one in 2016 at Pocono. Danica Patrick did the pre-race, in-race, and post-race segments in FOX's mobile studio alongside Denny Hamlin. Kevin Harvick, Clint Bowyer, and Joey Logano called the race. Ryan Blaney, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., and Erik Jones worked pit road. ABSOLUTELY ZERO broadcasting experience between the eight of them, and, in my opinion, EVEN THEY did a better job calling that race (and the pit road action) than Terry and Jimmy called this game.
However, the difference with the NASCAR telecasts described? They have one of the drivers take the lead as the Play by Play man, and at least in their first year, Fox's regular commentators were there to shadow/give advice to the drivers.
Producer: "Jimmy and Terry were in the booth today?"
Crew Member: "Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis?"
Producer: "No Johnson and Bradshaw but come to think about it, they would have been a better commentators than these two."
🤣🤣🤣
12:11 “And we have 17 to 28, Arizona Cardinals following…chasing…San-iego Chargers.” 😆
Seems like this gimmick could’ve worked if they just had a play-by-play guy. They’d still have the same marketing hook of “Jimmy and Terry in the booth for one game only,” but have a typical host/commentator for the game. The product would’ve been better too with a third person to handle the details, then Jimmy/Terry could just riff and do their thing.
The skeleton of the idea of adding these guys to a lame Saturday game makes sense, but I can’t imagine why Fox didn’t just add a play-by-play guy like every other game on their network.
What they should have done is go all-in with the Fox NFL Sunday crew:
JB calling PBP
Terry and Jimmy doing color
Howie on the sidelines
Or, just have JB and Terry do the game.
Don't underestimate their desire not to pay a third, and any of the associated costs getting them to and from San Diego.
I remember watching this game while I worked at the family business and I remember how awkward watching it was. Not hearing any play-by-play was jarring for me. Even NBA TV's Players Only telecasts were better than this POS telecast was!
Im sure you are just lying to score likes
@@mia1shooter Miss me with this nonsense, will you? I posted my honest thoughts on that sorry excuse of a telecast. I said what I said.
I clicked on this bc I thought I'd hear the actual broadcast...not some high pitched nerd
I once heard Bradshaw refer to Kyle Orton as "Korton" in a post game studio break, as in "Korton throws for 350 years and 2 TDs..." So I'm not surprised that even 30+ years ago he wasn't saying player names
😂😭
i know right in my 30+ years ive never made a mistake while speaking on camera. not even to myself. PERFECTION!
I remember this broadcast very well. I just kept thinking what in the world were they thinking?
Like oh wow that's embarrassing if you don't actually know the names of the players and you're a football guy.. Sad. 😢
I wish I forgot it, but it still sticks around in my mind for some reason.
ESPN having Jason Witten in the booth was a crime against humanity
10:14 Dave Krieg's NFL career was an interesting one. He came from a college that went out of business, and in his first season for the Seahawks he had a game against the Steelers . When the NFL HBO weekly show was predicting the scores for the upcoming games, one of the commentators said " Pittsburgh will 'Blitz Krieg' and win easy" or something like that. Not only did they mispronounce the name of Krieg (it's "craig", not "kreeg"), Krieg led the Seahawks to an upset victory over the heavily-favored Steelers.
I think it was a play on his name and pun. I was surprised he was QBing in this game and was playing for Arizona in 1995.
@@RichV20 It was - but he was so new in the league that not too many knew much about him (at least that's the way they acted on that HBO show)
The OG Kirk Cousins!
I laughed way too hard at the fact that his college went out of business. Had to look it up.
Mudbone was a good QB, but if he had been truly great (and Curt Warner hadn't blown out his knee), Seattle likely went to at least one SB in the 80s.
Really helps you appreciate how the players don’t get fed this info and have to rely on their awareness the ENTIRE game
I was actually at this game and had no idea this was the broadcast team. Seems like going to the game was better than watching it on TV.
BOTH these uniforms should be available in Madden. But EA is a joke
Jersey selection on 22 is trash
Just goes to show how amazing the Manning brothers are doing on MNF. No play by play, but it's the best broadcast on tv!
Hi Charlie Day from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia! It’s good to see you have a RUclips channel.
I don't know if you want to look into this,but in 1986 after week 11,on NFL Live on NBC, Paul McGuire said about the at the time 10-1 Jets, "I will guarantee you that the Jets will lose the rest of their games this season",which is exactly what they did! Also,the controversy about Raul Allegre supposedly missing the last extra point in SB XXI "On Purpose" he got dozens of death threats at the time for people that had 0-0 in pools.
This is what Peyton and Eli are doing successfully. Fox just chose the wrong people to do it.
Eli Manning saved America twice, Nick Foles did once, period.
I think the eli peyton format only works in 2021 because we are a different culture. If you did this back in 1995 nobody would watch it.
@@unnanointedonesufi "Might," be absolutely correct.
Aww poor Brady only has 7 rings now
@Gogetta80 Three, swell, losses, to, go, with, them, can't, forget, that.
The ability to have two color commentators while one acted as a play by play is what made Madden Summerall work so well. Summerall was one of the few play by play to also play in the NFL as a kicker for the Giants.
Pat Summerall started his broadcast career on CBS in the '60s as a color guy paired with the likes of Chris Schenkel (before he went to ABC), Jack Buck and Ray Scott.
Frank Gifford
Tom Brookshier
Ron Pitts
Ray Bentley
@@Bigrobkerr you definitely typed that and "man i really nailed it with this one!" good try robert.
The only things a play-by-play announcer should be saying are "Hey, did you see that!" or "Hey! The commercial's over!"
“For close to 30 years, FOX has been broadcasting NFL games.” And for some reason, they decided a Christmas song would be the best theme music they could come up with, and still use it today.
Terry Bradshaw: is extremely nervous, worried that he's going to get picked apart
This video: picks him apart mercilessly for the tiniest of things
Imagine listening to the audio version of this on the radio! 😂😂
Dude I love your channel. Something about makes me grin and stiff all at once! Im usually a middle mood or angry stiff but you cracked the code. Thank you!
Excellent video......I was watching the NFL a lot that year but don't remember this at all. Thanks for the recap of this trainwreck
I would love to see a story on how FOX got the rights to the NFL back in 1993 away from CBS.
Huh? They just out bidded them.
You wanna see a story on FOX writing a bigger check???
A truckload of cash
The Ringer compiled a fantastic article about this in 2018: "The Great NFL Heist"
@@TimmyTickle Thanks man I will check it out!
6:36 - here’s a swing pass out to the left side. Cut down at the 34 yard line. Pick up of about 3.
How hard would it have been for one of them to say this? I understand play by play probably isn’t as simple as I imagine, but I feel like I could go in without any experience and at least try to say what’s happening. It wouldn’t be silence.
No offense, but if you're going in to an NFL broadcast with no experience, odds are you're going to flunk worse than these guys. They at least have experience being both a media personality and a successful NFL entity of sorts.
@@adamdobrowolski2510 - Which makes this all the more confusing though right? They were experienced media personalities.
@@TheBlackMambaa248 It's a whole different dynamic as a PxP guy. You are essentially verbalizing the narrative and action as it comes for those cannot experience from itself. It's parts hosting and parts reporting and parts public address.
Jimmy's used to coaching. Terry's used to quarterbacking. Those experiences don't lend to a familiarity with those aspects of PxP.
It's exactly why an experienced PxP guy is ALWAYS needed. Not only do you need to be able all those parts I mentioned, but now also need to be able to work with studio direction to ensure a clean broadcast that navigates properly through the rundown. And personally, I find that to be toughest aspect of all.
@@TheBlackMambaa248 it was the first time doing this . It’s not natural to talk abs talk and talk and talk like play be play guys so how is this a mystery to u?
“Everybody can tell you how to do it, but they never did it”
Terry Bradshaw was 47 in this video. Tom Brady is 45 now.
The glowing puck and animated robots after every goal were stupid. Switched over to CBC for Stanley Cup Finals games.
Can we get a video on the history of Saturday december games, and why they kind of went away in 2006?
they're back now doe
@@jackhammers7572 not in the format they were before, I think there has only been one saturday since 2006 to feature three games
There was a new TV contract in 2006, which included regular Thursday night games on NFL Network and Sunday Night Football on NBC. I think the NFL cut back on Saturday games due to ratings and inventory issues. Saturday games often had lower viewership than other days/nights, and fewer Saturday games meant more potential to “flex” games to Sunday night.
I'd also imagine a ratings competition with college football in conference championship season.
Part of it is the college season expanding deeper into the fall and more bowl games.
People would point to this broadcasting fiasco as being the beginning of the end of Jimmy Johnson. He would soon be out of a job, and was seen wandering the beaches of Miami, drunk, and muttering about "That idiot Leon Lett getting caught by Don Beebe"...Soon Jimmy was gone, never to be seen again. All that was found was an empty whiskey bottle on the beach, his 2 Superb Owl rings, and a bottle of extra strength hair wax. RIP Jimmy. We hardly knew ye.
Superb Owl rings? 🤣🤣🤣

It wasn't "dead air" we got the sounds of the game. "Dead air" is silence.
I want games with no announcers. I want to listen to the sounds of the game and the fans.
NBC once tried that and it was absolutely HORRID! They scrolled what would've been the play-by-play at the bottom of the screen with no announcers at all.
With the on screen graphics available, it should be an option.
@@Seanpatf66 There weren't any graphics period. Just a scroll of what the play-by-play announcers would've been saying. It was HORRID, absolutely excruciating and the dumbest idea NBC sports ever hard.
It works in baseball. MLB.TV has (had?) a setting with just the ballpark sounds. Football not so much.
…And we have 17-28 Arizona Cardinals following Jason…San Diego Chargers
That was brutal. I don’t remember it at all. I think I know why, haha!
I never saw it and now I'm glad I didn't!
I’m not Jag or Gator fan but every video I’ve seen on this channel has been solid. Good stuff.
Honestly, that would be kind of cool to be able to listen to the game noise instead of the commentators between the plays.
I wish we could get games with no announcers throughout the season. #1 way to improve the NFL viewing experience.
Also, this guy is way more of an annoying hack than Bradshaw and Johnson could ever be.
Wow u mad haha

The difference between you and OfficialJaguarGator9 is that he has a good reason to be. He's talking about a professional televised event. You're whining about a funny video on youtube. Get over yourself.
@@the-NightStar "funny" is a very subjective word
try muting the tv
Didn't seem that crazy to me honestly... 🤷🏻♂️ Personally, I'd love for the networks to offer the ability to switch between multiple different audio feeds.
1. The standard, default National TV Play-by-play Commentator team.
2. All the various different language commentators
3. Both local Play-by-play team's commentators that you normally find on your local radio station.
4. A basic audio channel that has no play-by-play or color commentating... just the natural sounds from the game... the noise from the field with all the players, the crowd noise, and the Stadium PA announcers.
I think that would be a really great set of options. It would be fun to jump around the different feeds during the game, and would be a great plus to have the ability to switch feeds when you don't like who's doing the Play-by-play for that specific game.
I agree with everything! Great idea. I would add options 5 and up: various comedic people, watching with an immigrant that's never seen football before, etc etc.
@@thecollegeofra haha, that would be great. Good ideas! I didn't even consider how a comedy style audio feed could work really well. 😎👍
Yeah I’ve wondered recently why this type of stuff seems to be exclusive to the CFP. It’d be nice if we could get all that in future with the NFL, at least for the playoffs.
That was textbook anxiety disorder what Terry felt before the broadcast..he was also diagnosed with that and ADD, so don't insult the guy
Terry annoys me but I am a Broncos fan.
Well if he's fucking got anxiety disorder that cripplingly then get another job. Stop whining lmao
I went into a severe depression after watching this game
JJ: "And we have 17 to 28".. reminds me of when I watch British news shows and they announce NFL scores.
It bothers me an unhealthy amount when anyone says a score in any sport with the lower number first
To me it looks like Johnson and Bradshaw are less to blame than whoever was directing. Somebody should have whispered through the headset, "Hey can one of you mention down and distance." Also, they should have had a spotter to tell the booth guys who was making catches and tackles, (the great Al Michaels never fails to mention his spotter, Malibu Kelly Hayes). It still would have been awkward play by play, but at least it would have been play by play.
According to the LA Times article quoted in the video, the director for this broadcast usually worked with Fox’s #3 team at the time (Kevin Harlan and Jerry Glanville)
It was never going to work, because even a circus with only clowns will eventually get tiresome.
Cool video! I mentioned this commentary in one of your previous videos. Not sure if you saw that or if decided to cover it on your own, but thanks either way!
To be honest, what's the point of having a play by play announcer on television when all you have to do is LOOK AT THE SCREEN to see what's going on? Play by play announcers are an outdated relic from when there was no TV and only radio.
I was out Christmas Shopping with my Mom during this game. I did watch the earlier game that day which was Browns-Vikings on NBC.
As someone who watched the FOX game, you definitely did the right thing!
Bradshaw probably accumulated 20+ concussions during his time in the NFL give him a break
Jackpot game looks great! That sounds exciting for you....and as for this video, as always, fantastic job!!
1:29 Hey look, a Chargers home game with a full crowd. The good old days.
12:10 Can we just appreciate how amazing that shirt Buddy has on is though?
If this is an association football game, the dead air from commentary is acceptable since the crowd are engaged all the way, but association football it ain’t.
Televised football game is boring without the commentators
Pat Summerall, Tom Brookshier, and Frank Gifford made the transition from color commentator to play-by-play. But they had a whole offseason to prepare before calling a game. Bradshaw and Johnson didn’t have that luxury.
Verne Lundquist recalled the first time he worked with Bradshaw. It was a preseason game in which the voices of Summerall and Madden would go out over the CBS airwaves. However, Lundquist and Bradshaw would call the game off air as a rehearsal, along with a team that had Dick Vermeil. Lundquist said Bradshaw was overwhelmed at the work and detail Vermeil put into his broadcast board.
FWIW, this unofficial Official Jaguar Gator 9 historian will remind everyone you made two other videos about near Cardinals comebacks in San Diego.
Plus they had the right voices for play by play
Plus summerall had a good buzz going from the previous night
More recently, Fox has had Ron Pitts and Ray Bentley (both former players) doing PbP... I believe they even teamed up for a season or two
10:00 OJG9 mentions that the announcer calling the TD got the wrong name, then names the wrong announcer making the call. "Johnson looked at the wrong sheet". That was actually Bradshaw looking at the wrong sheet, Johnson made the correction.
Caught that too...
IRONY!
Imagine there's no Steve Levy in the MNF booth? I do this every week.
I remember this game. Jimmy and Terry weren't gonna just "talk" if they had nothing to say so there was some dead air time. lol
i was watching the 12/16/21 game and Terry Bradshaw called the L.A. Chargers the San Diego Chargers. Sometimes it's embarrassing listening to him as he quite often gets player and team names wrong.
Some still the chargers San Diego
Tbf the Chargers do belong in San Diego
fouts still did that. He even calls them 'sd' chargers when doing their pre-season games.
Bradshaw seen the future 22 years later
The funny thing is, they started out as the Los Angeles Chargers in 1960. They moved to San Diego one year later.
I actually like it. I find it nice to just concentrate on the game without someone telling me what I see with my own eyes. This particular experiment wasn't great apparently, but from the examples shown here i don't find it as horrible as you're making it. Love the content as a rule, but this is a bit harsh.
Here after Bradshaw and Johnson worked on Halftime of Christmas game Packers vs Browns. Bradshaw goes thru laundry list of why packers are rolling and excluded “coaching” to which Johnson chimes in with “coaching” where Bradshaw then says, “yeah coaching” Lol
I’d say the broadcast on Nickelodeon was the worst ever. It wasn’t the teen Nickelodeon “stars” being the commentators or the cringy CGI, it was a player using the F word after a penalty was ruled against him
Talked about that broadcast in a previous video: ruclips.net/video/sNnF5bq3P9M/видео.html
I'm so glad I didn't watch that game
Good. You didn't have to worry about feeling my pain while this telecast was going on. Consider yourself fortunate!
#metoo
I kind of remember watching this game for some odd reason
So, they put TWO incessant chowderheads in the booth and they cancelled each other out.
I saw that game and I wanna thank for proving me and my classmates that we were right lol
So it's basically the Peyton-Eli broadcast.
Though they worked for different networks, I wonder how Merlin Olson and John madden would have done? I can see Olson doing play-by-play in that case - would have been better than this goofy experiment with Bradshaw and Johnson...
Merlin Olsen???
Olsen was at CBS in 90/91, so that could have worked
@@mgb4692 True.
At first when I saw the thumbnail I thought they send NASCAR’s Jimmie Johnson to commentate on the game
This guy seems really pissed about something that isn’t a big deal at all lol
