ESPN released their announcer pairings for the upcoming season. The announcing crew can be the difference between an enjoyable game day experience or making your blood boil. It is good to see one of our favorites Joe Tessitore move up to Saturday nights, but we'll miss him on Fridays leading into the weekend. But Matt Millen? After trying to build an NFL team from the outside in, how can anyone take anything this blockhead says seriously? Of course this is the broadcast network that shoved that jackass Craig James down our throat for years. Hang tough Joe. I'll be both loathing and enjoying your broadcasts.
Overall, I love ESPN's coverage and announcers. They do a great job and fill my Saturdays and weeknights with college football, so I can't complain. Here are the pairing for the upcoming season...
