Agree. Davis and Mayock are terrific and I thought Billick was too.

Last year, the former Detroit LB semi-nutbar Chris Spielman did a few Falcons games towards the end of the regular season.  I thought he was incredible insightful because he would quickly break down a play and explain what happened and he wouldn't merely repeat the obvious. I hope he's still with Fox and does some Falcons games.

Ronde Barber did a few games last season (1 of ours I remember)  and he surprisingly was pretty good too. I particularly remembered when he called our game he was obviously insightful but was totally unbiased.

Kevin and Charles are a good team. I'll take them any day over Troy and Buck.....

I yell "shut up Troy" about a hundred times in three hours when they call the game.

31-0 over the packers in the 3rd quarter of the NFCCG and Troy finally acknowledges that the falcons are a decent team.

I'm fine with Ronde being in the booth....because quite frankly, he used to absolutely drive the Falcons crazy. He always made big plays against us.

It would actually seem the networks would have the brainpower to arrange the announcers to be more "localized" -  I would rather hear analysts who openly show their biases than ones who pretend to be unbiased.

We can have 3 announcers for preseason, so why not an "unbiased" playcaller and then 2 analysts that favor each of the teams?  There are plenty of ex-players out there eager to do the work.

Exactly! How refreshing would it be to have an announcer scream "son of a *****!!" when something stupid happens on the field? That would be so cool.
