I don't know what's worse, watching mediocre teams in primetime or listening to mediocre announcers fawn all over themselves regarding whatever star player is playing that day.
Let's not leave out baseball and basketball here either. Whenever you put pro "has-beens" in a broadcast position without any experience or talent, you get another meting of the "mutual appreciation" society. One of the reasons I like local broadcasters instead of national ones: the locals ACTUALLY know the game and the the players. They don't have to have cheat-sheets put together for them so that they can sound like they know something.
Hint: if the broadcaster goes into a story about one of the players, and he misses at least one play on the field, he's a tool that doesn't know the sport and is reading a script.
OK, I'm done.
