So...driving back from Wisconsin, I listened to sirrius NFL Radio. Their Sunday drive is sort of like Redzone for Radio. When teams are driving, they cut to that team's radio guys.
What it highlighted to me...is there are very few good duos in NFL Radio. Either the play by play guy...or color guy for each one of them are just bad. Really bad.
I knew here locally in Nashville that Mike Keith is over the top...but still very good. McGinnis as the color guy is just terrible. He is a good radio guest to talk about things...but as a radio color guy he is just so bad. And highlights how bad some of them are as just so homerish. There were several calls yesterday from multiple teams where the color guy is just screaming YES YES YES where you could not even here the play by play guy's call.
And if they weren't being over the top homers...they were trying so hard to be dramatic radio voice guy. Just the stereotypical style of talking. that makes you think radio guy...like strange modulating the voice up and down.
And then there are guys...I think it was Arizona's color guy...strange voice...but everything seemed to be a WOW! to him.
The worst I heard yesterday were both guys for the Bengals. So they get the penalty late..Burrow limping and goes out. And they both were stating, well that penalty brings run back to the table...and its ok if Burrow is out because the backup would just have to hand off. When it was obvious (under a minute I think...KC with zero timeouts) that they would just kneel and kick the winning FG. Neither of them even thought of that as an option...until the QB knelt. It was insanely bad.
So...who are the good ones? Im sure that all sort of depends...some people may like their guys while other people think they are too over the top. Like I do like Mike Keith for the Titans, but think plenty probably find him annoying. I do like Wayne Larrivee for the Packers as well.
