And I gotta say that Dierdorf better have taken some speaking classes since last time he commentated. He was borderline Madden last time I had to listen to him! Quit making errors and stupid comments!

Zak. Totally agree. Very entertaining game to listen to.

I did hear Hochstien called Dwade? Duane? at one point.

Bumbel & Dierdork again!? bunch of fumbling simpletons. My favorite is Rich Gannon. He points out QB mistakes and you learn something. Dierdork is repetitive.

If I have a beer everytime Deirdorf describe a players with this comment ... " He is just a tough football player" I probably will not make the second half.

Go Pats Go

Thanks to Goddell for putting the JEST'S game at 4:15 ... by then for all intensive purposes will have been eliminated.
