They are not the only ones I've noticed on the sidelines that don't look like they belong to crew or news media.

Since when has life ever been fair.

Patricia was hired to coach the Lions during the off-season.

The Patriots looked pretty pathetic again tonight. The Steelers play tomorrow. Are we witnessing the end of an era, or just another blip along the way?

Niners looked as bad as I thought they would against the KC offense. Then Garappolo wrecks his knee trying to make a play when the game was out of reach. Oh well, they can use more high draft picks while they rebuild.

The Raiders suck. Eat shit Mark Davis! You are a dolt.

He wanted a head coaching job, was also interviewed by the Giants.

I hope it's the end of the Patriots era.

Can't stand those fuckers and cheaters!

Last weekend illustrates why I don't bet on the NFL.

The Bills, a 16 point underdog goes out and creams the Vikings, who were in the NFC championship game last season.

The Lions got creamed by the Jets opening weekend, who followed that up by losing to the Browns. Then the Lions win going away against the Patriots.

I dunno Brian. The Raiders seemed to have the Fins bottled up for most of the game. What killed them was their inability to run with the Fins wide receivers, (who are a very fast bunch) and giving up four touchdowns on big plays.

In the words of Jimmy Johnson "You can't coach speed".

The NFL has female zebras now?

How is Tampa Bay 2-0?

They have played a poor game so far.

Down 23-7 in the 2nd quarter and their QB has turned the ball over at least 3-4 times.

Watching Monday Night Football on ESPN.

Who the fuck is this guy?

He is not one of the 2 announcers/broadcasters in the booth.

Yet not only is he is constantly talking,

he talks more than the 2 main guys in the booth that are calling the game.

When it's 1st down and 2nd down and 3rd down and 4th down, the 2 guys in the booth are supposed to call the play as it happens on the field but NO,

this fucking guy is talking on and on and on, over several downs and series and even talking over the 2 guys in the booth and interrupting them.

He just can't fucking STOP talking.

He is supposed to stop talking when a play is snapped!!

All of a sudden, this is looking like a very long season.

Regarding my post above, someone at the other forum ID him as

Quote:

That's "Booger" McFarland, he used to play for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

This is my reply:

Quote:

His name is Booger?

His parents named him Booger?

What kind of drugs were they high on when they named him?

I bet he had a rough childhood starting all the way back in Pre School and Kindergarten, being teased and bullied by all the other kids for having the name Booger.

But back to the topic, he was acting like a Booger when he couldn't shut up and was talking over the 2 guys in the booth who were trying to call the game as each play was being snapped on the field.

I posted the same complaints on the ESPN Facebook wall and gotten a lot of LIKES and a lot of RESPONSES by folks who also found his constant talking annoying and a few even said they ended up watching the rest of the game with the volume off.

So I am not the only one who couldn't stand his talking.

Maybe ESPN will read the comments on their Facebook page and their bosses will tell him next Monday Night Football to talk less or pull him from the broadcast altogether.
