Has Maria Taylor grown 14 inches or has everyone else gotten shorter? She towers over former NFL players.

She's finer than frog hair.

i believe that's beau limmer playing center for the rams.

Yes, that is correct.

So last year's line had a guy good enough to start in the NFL as a rookie.  Two more guys from that line (one a backup who should have played) are still here and along with the transfers look to have moved from worst line in school history to probably midpack SEC.  Cody Kennedy is terrible. 

Oh, and Kennedy's current team averaged under a yard per carry and gave up three sacks at Arizona State.

and jake bates kicked a couple of field goals. 5 razorbacks in that game.

Not sure if it's been mentioned here, but Tom Brady's first outing in the broadcast booth was...rough.

Lots of dead air and awkward pauses, struggled to complete sentences, repetition, and inane ramblings at times that made no sense. On 3 of Aubrey's field goals, Brady simply said "wow" the minute the ball sailed through the uprights. After one of Dallas's TDs, Burkhardt stopped talking and there was about 10-15 seconds of dead silence where you could tell he was hoping Brady would just say something.

It was his first game and we'll see if he gets better, but suffice it to say I was hoping he'd give better insight (especially on QB play and things he was seeing), but this felt more like a celebrity guest in the booth than anything. 

As someone on Reddit said, Brady was giving off major "boom goes the dynamite" vibes.

Hopefully Tom will be the anti-Romo, kind of like he was when they both played.  Tony started off fast and did a really good job from his first broadcast, then stagnated.

He's awful no doubt, but it just adds to my theory that last years line took a dive. Gucci suits and gatah shoes probably went over like a lead balloon with them last year.

It's because he prefers talking about himself.

Yeah I really think Fox is going to regret ditching Greg Olsen for Brady on the top team. Did Olsen call  a game yesterday?

He did, and per Reddit he was great as always.

I was really missing him yesterday on the Cowboys-Browns broadcast. He's great, and he's not afraid to call players and coaches out for bad plays and playcalling.

[vegashog]

brady sounded like he was watching the game. forgot he was there to keep yapping.

I think Fox vastly overrotated on him being the GOAT and thinking that would translate to some sort of appeal or draw for the games he would call.

I think they also wrongly thought there was any correlation between being a great player and a great commentator. An in-game telecast is completely different.

His voice alone is not the quality of a broadcaster.

Huh?  Olsen always sucks coaches dick and never questions a referee's call.  I'm not a fan.

Tom needs to work on his timing and get a broadcast voice speaking from his core.

I think Fox has to be pissed about his ownership stake with the Raiders as he can't do any pregame work, see practices, do interviews that these guys do prior to the game.  It really limits his usefulness.

He also can't be "overly critical" of the other teams. He's neutered. I'm sure Fox hates that he bought an ownership stake.

Almost as ghey as the new kickoff rule.

[buff2.0]

From twitter lol

Kendrick went from being at home minding his own business to headlining the super bowl all because Drake didn't know how to pick his battles 😂😂😂

[buff2.0]

ESPN has fired Shannon Sharpe after an accidental Instagram Live recorded audio of him reorganizing a woman's guts. 

Accidental.

Is my tv super duper high def tonight or does this Miami field look mushy and ready to tear up?
