    Isn't it normally the home team colour commentating when not prime time games?

    In pre-season, yes... thus the Ronde Barber appearance in the NFL Network rebroadcast of the Bucs game.

    Once regular season arrives announcers are assigned from national pool and there is a pecking order. We've pretty much gotten the dregs, the trainees... like Wilcotts... in recent history.

    I think a case could be made for the assigned refs yesterday too. Left out of the conversation on that INT was the fact the DB was pushing the receiver away from the ball (so he could not come back to it) while it was in the air before he (the DB) turned back to get the ball just as it arrived. No flag. Take a look when you do your review tour.

  • We need Bernie back doing the play by play. Brent Jones smacked us around more then Bernie ever did anyone.

    i'm confused. are you saying Tashaun Gipson committed defensive pass interference and it wasn't called, aka we actually got away with one??

    Channel 3 fired Bernie after his DUI last year. Channel 4 hired him for the Sunday gig, and I give them credit for that. Always will like Bernie.

  • At least he doesn't spit tobacco juice out the window when he's driving drunk

  • Right on.

    No, talking about JM's interception when his receiver was prevented from coming back to the ball while it was in the air. Clear pass interference.

    officiating was brutal yesterday. not that the team didn't commit the penalites, just the fact that by week 12 half those flags wouldn't be thrown.

    I could have lived with it if they had called a few on them as well. The other not called was JM's mugging when he started a slide. Just a shame that several of our big gainers were called back on penalties.
