I like Phil Simms just because of his football perspective during the game. Half of this jack off announcers didn't even play in the NFL.
Unfortunately some announcers like Simms have played but you'd never know listening to him, in part due to political correctness in his case that prevents him from mentioning negatives most of the time, and his inability to portray what he's experienced to others. I like to see or hear someone give me insights that aren't already obvious. He and others like Fouts don't. Aikman's a little better.
Michaels is another-tremendous hype, adds virtually nothing.
Anyone who is more interesting including Irvin, Siragusa, Boomer or Sharpe will be either loved or hated
but will be watched.Irvin's still on the air because you don't realize that all his antics are generating interest!!!
