Great news. The commentary can't be recycled from last year because there is no commentary so I am excited about that. Plus, I can see these guys actually spending time recording their lines, unlike Joe Morgan.

Hey, it could be worse. We could have been stuck with the arrogrant *** that is Joe Buck. I am not a fan of Collinsworth either though.

Let me preface this by saying if there is one thing that is personal opinion it is what announcers you like.

Having said that I don't care who it is to be honest, I care more about what is being said. If it flows seamless like the Show and I don't think about the commentary and it feel like I am listening to a game on TV then that's good enough for me.

If it is just a bad voice over actor (Hello Radio Guy) or cheesy and annoying (Hello Dan and Peter) then it could be two hall of fame announcers I'd still be turning it off.

Bottom line for me is if I'm thinking about the commentary instead of listening to it then it has failed.

I just do not understand why Madden doesn't have MADDEN?!

Agreed. I'm only concerned with how their lines are intergrated. Give me dynamic commentary and as many lines as possible. Then spend the same amount of time next year adding to the commentary. But history has shown that what's recorded this year will make up 99% of what we hear next year.
