Tuned to watch the Denver/Charges game. Watched the first series and turned it off
Every damn one (with maybe one exception) of the black payers showed disrespect during the national anthem
The singer sucked anyway.
Where the Hell they found the announcers I can only wonder.
Somehow I expected better, Think I'll find a good book to read.

I thought the singer was awesome. Great voice and senior in High School. Impressive. The announcers though -- horrible --

I thought she sung the Anthem very well. The indignant black players should relocate to a country that will treat them better.

Don, she's suppose to be the hot new ticket for ESPN. They ran a special on her last week. She's quite the rising star according to the documentary. To me, the press box is no place for a female announcer. Now I'm not one of those guys that thinks they should stay in the kitchen but as an announcer...it's just not good business. powdr

My ears tell me she's terrible and I've never liked any of the Ryan's Good to hear from you, been wondering if you had left us. BTW, I didn't care for Romo as a announcer yesterday, He needs to learn to modulate his voice better, comes off as flat and hard to understand.

Yeah, it seems like they offer every semi-popular ex-player a contract as soon as they retire. Surely they're smart enough to know not everybody is cut out for a booth job. Some just can't hack it. If I'm going to have to listen to a female announcer, then I'm not going to watch them over paid jerks. powdr

The announcers are horrible.... Even the sideline guy should go back to covering junior high games. For awhile I thought something was wrong with the sound/volume on my TV, but nah, they just suck.

That kid that's the Sideline announcer looks like he's 13. And has that deer in the headlights look like he's never even seen a friggin football field.

I thought the high school girl did a great job on the anthem.

Maybe the ESPN budget only allowed $400 for the game, coffee and donuts for the crew comes out of that.
