I think RG3 is purposely being silly at times as the color guy. He tries to be over the top on compliments as part of his shtick. Jones is an idiot, but I don’t mind RG.

I do agree with Ox though that neither seemed to have more than a casual knowledge of where we’re at. Their tone changed on the second drive where they mentioned the ups and downs of AR. Before that you’d guess it was the week after Utah.

They are instructed to do this. I'm sure he knows ARs sucked like a black hole for 6 weeks but he can't say that on the air. It is what it is. They have to try to be positive for the casual fan and for the channel flipper who is tuning in. Folks like us are a small minority. The vast majority of any fan base would go nuclear if a commentator did much besides talk about the positives.

RG3 has been hilarious all year.

HOF comment: “it’s an Orji in the end zone”

He had some funny stuff to say. I can certainly take him better than Beth Mowins.

Agree with J on the funny comments. I laughed. And they were actually more tolerable compared to other games they butchered (remember the Gator game they used as a platform for incessant preaching about minority coaching hires after dan was fired?).

That said, there were several comments from the play by play guy that sounded like he had just discovered football existed and was still learning the basic rules of the game.

I honestly thought the OP was being sarcastic. Y’all are crazy if you think those cornballs are good commentators :lol:

There’s 2 types of funny people: those who tell jokes and actively “seek the humor”. The other kind of funny people, are the ones who “just are”. Hard to explain, but I think you know what I mean.

RG3 is a “try to be funny” type of guy. But he ain’t.

It sounds like Andre 3000 from Outkast is announcing. He looks and sounds just like him.

Still Better than Beth Mowans

I don’t mind a good supersize mcthickens joke. I just don’t like to be lectured every time these guys call a game. It never fails with these two.
