Vicious Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 This guy has to be the worst commentator in college football. He actively roots against teams, consistently gets players names wrong, and makes huge deals out of something he is clearly wrong about. For example, since it just happened, the punt return TD UGA had against Tennessee. They showed the replay of the "block in the back" that the flag was picked up on. Each angle clearly shows Roquan's arm bumping into the defender's shoulder. He cries wolf saying that was clearly a block in the back and should be reviewed by the league office. Agenda much, Danielson? I hate when this guy calls our games, though he does it in other games as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is This What You Want? Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 (edited) He is a tool. At least Verne has the excuse of being 137 years old. I used to dislike Verne before but now don't really mind him, it is Gary who Sux. Verne is like Andy Rooney was on 60 minutes at the end...makes no sense and adds no value but is too tenured to let him go on any terms but his own and I respect that. Anyone hear Verne call Colin Barber 'Calvin' Barber on that last punt lol? You would think that after covering 6 quarters straight of the same punter he would get it right, especially as much action as Barber had in last week's game.

SacFalcFan Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 i like gary's pre game interviews on the radio, but hate his announcing.. i hate how he actively roots for teams. i hate whenever any announcer does that. so unprofessional and annoying.

JayOzOne Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 He announces with the arrogance of somebody who knows his job is secure, so he says what he wants instead of what he should. He either has several years left on his contract or boudoir photos of the boss's daughter in a safe deposit box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they did the same thing with Sean McDonald years earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sassy_bird Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Met him once at a SC game. He was a nice guy he does not bother me as bad as some of the others when he calls a game. He is not my favorite or least favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawgBone Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Verne and Gary are absolutely painful to endure. I've been saying this for years.Not only that, but the fact that CBS broadcasts take freaking forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawgBone Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Also, why does Gary think it necessary to predict what play the team is about to run? And he's always wrong. Good grief Gary - you suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is This What You Want? Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 They take forever because CBS takes a commercial break for EVERY ******* THING!!! It's ridiculous!!!Yes that is true. What is the most annoying is that they instead of trickling in the commercials evenly all game, they get 90 percent of them in in the first 2.5 quarters. In my opinion this affects the game because then all of the sudden there are very few commercial breaks in the 4th quarter and whichever defense has played more in the game get gassed even Moreso in the 4th qtr. don't get me wrong, I know that regardless a D will get gassed more in 4th quarter after being on field mostly in first half but it seems to be exaggerated on CBS broadcasts.

DawgBone Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 They take forever because CBS takes a commercial break for EVERY ******* THING!!! It's ridiculous!!!4 minute commercial break. We're back - offense goes 3 and out (at some point during this short series Verne points out that two players on the opposing teams played Pop Warner together).4 minute commercial break.

jeffro2000 Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 They are tough to listen to. You are just happy if Verne even knows what teams are playing and Danielson may be worse.Games are also too long. They take nearly 4hrs to play.

Carter Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I've slowly grown to hate the CBS broadcast. Verne and Gary are horrible and they always pick the games that should be night games. Allie is good though, I don't mind her at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
