It could have been worse.

The game could be on Fox, and Joe Buck (and Troy Aikman) could be calling it, thereby making Vladimir Vladimirovich Trumpov only the *second* most despised person in the booth that day.

Jason Witten’s is so much worse, he makes me long for the commentary of Aikman and Buck—but not Michaels and Collinsworth.

It makes me wonder why they hire a (usually bad) color commentator plus a totally superfluous third guy on the sidelines. Are the producers just star-struck and want to hang out with a former NFL star? Vin Scully never needed that much support (or brainless chatter) to call a game as these NFL broadcasters need.

Yeah, Witt's not so great. Give me Dan Fouts, if you must know. His voice is distressingly high, but he always says just enough to augment what I just watched. Romo isn't bad. And he sounds like he's having fun, in sharp contrast to Aikman, who constantly sounds like he's making excuses to the Dean of Men for something that wasn't "really" his fault.

The best duo I’ve heard in a long time is Kevin Harlan and Kurt Warner on the Westwood One Radio Network. They actually paint a verbal picture for you and give you insight into the game without going on long unnecessary diversions down Anecdote Lane

Ah yes, that famous Heisman Trophy winner, Donald J. Trump of the Wharton School of Real Estate. Those were the salad days, weren't they? I can only imagine that interview with Brennan will result in much hilarity.(The mind boggles.)

Watch out, Troy Aikman, Trump is gonna take your title as most-concussed NFL broadcaster.

But if they let Trump into the box, they should let Michael Bennett take a shot at him. Limbaugh redux!

I thought The Leader would have gone to Darwin or Huxley College. Horse feathers!
