Didn't like Billick until he became an announcer, love him now!
Exactly. You can just tell their understanding of the game is so much better than everyone else.
you like Berman better than Gruden????????????????
Absolutely love the guy. I'll take all his goofy mannerism and coloquialisms, to get that kind of knowledge.
Especially when he loves everyone so much?
you can't stand Gruden's mannerisms, but you like Berman?
Completely agree. You have to strip away all the stuff that producers have obviously encouraged him to do for the entertainment of the average viewer. It actually annoys me, but I understand why he has to do it. I get that ESPN wants to create their own Madden, but its the stuff between the nonsense when he's breaking down plays or player's habits when you really find out how great he is at the job. Plus, like the OP said, there are still those moments when he lets the sideline (chucky) version of himself out once in awhile, which is great stuff. Personally, I don't think there is anyone better at it right now. And that includes Cris Collinsworth and his awesome teetering-on-puberty voice cracking.
"Ray Rice is like a little snake sneaking through their D-line, look at the way he slithers and slides"Football knowledge.
to each his own, but I'm not sure how football fans dont like Gruden. He's Chucky. He's X's and O's, and tough guy, excitement, etc.......Everything football should be. Jaws is just so dang boring and kind of a nerdy know-it-all. my .02
Gruden all the way. He atleast is funny, Berman thinks he is funny but is plain boring.How can anyone like Berman? I suspect even his own mother thinks he's a tool.
I was just going to say how I think he could be the "Madden" of the 21st century. He's got the same kind of infectious enthusiasm for the game.... he might even have a blocking sled in his backyard named "Bertha".Completely agree.

Which is every QB to ever put on an NFL uniform. The QB could throw the worst pass in history and he would say something like, 'I like his moxie'.
