Kevin Harland should be CBS #1 announcer

[frozenchief]

This game just hi-lighted how good Harlan is as a commentator. I have no idea why Nantz is their #1. I think Green is a dependable color commentator but admit Romo is a better analyst. I think Harlan and Romo should be CBS #1 team.

Harlan describes the game better. He’s better pointing out which player did what. He is more emotionally invested in the game without being a Homer for either team. Nantz seems to have the personality of wet cardboard. Also, he seems to root for whoever is playing KC, although that could be me.

The downside to KC’s quality play is us getting Nantz and Romo. As frustrating as this game was, at least Harlan was in the booth and not Nantz.

Kevin Harlan is significantly better and more natural than Ian Eagle.

Give Harlan the TNF contract.

The thing with Harlan is he's basically the national radio voice of the NFL. He's the #1 guy and gets to do the biggest playoff games and Super Bowl every year on radio. Even Nantz and Buck and the rest don't get to do the Super Bowl but only once every 3-4 years. Harlan gets to call it every single year.

I have no idea but who knows if he'd want to give that up for anything but the #1 job on CBS and he'll never get that because of Nantz.

He's the absolute best on radio. Radio is a different beast than TV because you have to be super descriptive with the action taking place, and that's where Harlan shines.

I don't know if other radio guys do this or if Harlan does this because he's old school, but the man uses his own goddamn stopwatch to measure the hang time on punts when he does his broadcasts.

He's an total pro, and if jettio doesn't like his commentary during TV games, that's whatever, but even he cannot deny Harlan's prowess doing radio broadcasts. He's the best in that arena, and if jettio disagrees on that point, I'll fight him at the George Brett statue myself.

I have to admit he is good on a lot of games through the years, when he is not doing the phony baloney talk up the chances of the underdog and quoting meaningless stats and trends. I guess he builds his worksheet up for the game and he spends so much time on that, that he cannot help but blurt out all that shit in the first half.

Maybe it was coincidence that he had Chiefs at Broncos and Chiefs at Raiders when Chiefs had slow starts and we get the CBS beginning of game commercial tsunami with the music. Maybe it was the whole combination that was annoying.
