Olsen is right, 'it sucks' for him the he got booted by someone who 'really sucks' at the job and refuses to learn and tells viewers that he will be on for the 10 year stint while owning and running LV Raiders. It's demeaning how KB props TB up to keep the charade going.

He’s ok but his call of the pivotal Eagles holding penalty that effectively gave the Chiefs the SB was ridiculously biased. It was a blatant hold; the Eagles player even admitted it. If not for the hold then Mahomes connects & it’s a first down anyway. Olsen framing of it as a bad call was dishonest

Or maybe he reacted to how he saw it real time. That is a thing that happens.

I understand but He’s not sitting on his couch. He’s an announcer talking to millions of people worldwide; real time calls can shape/effect narrative. I saw in the moment how clear as day the jersey pull was; he completely ignored or diminished it. It was a bad call.

You do realize that the feed we get on TV is not the same feed that announcers get, right? We see it all the time we’re announcers see things one way on their initial feed and then adjust their viewpoint wants they see replays. I don’t recall if he did that but that’s typical.

Where*

itspatrickpl.bsky.social•25 days ago

You can’t find one announcer who hasn’t done something similar. So I think it’s kind of ridiculous to say he’s terrible because of that.

joshuah77.bsky.social•25 days ago

Never said he’s terrible. Said he’s ok. I did however say the call itself was dishonest and bad.

Brady as a commentator...

Personally, I prefer the fingernails.

Brady is totally miscast in an off camera role. His fame & Q score should have been utilized on the pregame ON camera (give Terry & Jimmy the gold watch & show door)-TB voice reed thin & he offers generic bland descriptions of replays is nothing special in booth. Swing & a miss on both Olsen & Brady

You know what else sucks? Having to listen to Greg Olsen call games

Man, you are definitely in the minority here in these comments.

Greg Olsen should have been the greatest NFL player of all time if he thinks it sucks.

musclehound.bsky.social•25 days ago

Greg Olsen is hands down the best commentator in the game! This is total BS

highland-gardens.bsky.social•25 days ago

Yeah, the new guy stinks!

He so much better than Brady…such a shame.

I never have the volume on during a game. The game is just ambient visuals.

Who the fuck wants to hear the same GMC and Carnival commercials over and over again.
