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.

Nantz is the worst thing in sports.

He lives in Nashville and likes the Titans, that’s a big reason Nantz hates KC.

Sheesh. Is everyone moving to Nashville?

I thought nantz lived in Florida next to Fred couples. Not kidding.

Both of you are incorrect, though technically he does also have a place in Nashville (he's not a Titans fan).

His primary residence is by Pebble Beach in California. He has a replica golf hole in his back yard that he's pretty infamous for having.

I've also read recently that his primary residence in now Nashville, not PB. He may still have the Pebble Beach home, but sounds like his wife wanted a more normal area for their kids to grow up in. Doubt he's a Titan fan though, probably a NYC or Jets fan, as he grew up in that general area.

Yeah, I edited because he does have a place in Nashville, so I was wrong to say that he was wrong.

I watch a lot of his golf broadcasts, he spends way more time in the PB home (so he often says) than he does in Nashville. But I'm guessing you're correct as to why they also have a place in Nashville.

I thought Green was hard to listen to.

It felt like he was trying too hard to prove that he wasn’t a Chiefs homer by agreeing with every bullshit call.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one that felt that way. Ironically he is really good in the preseason games when he goes full homer.

It was super hilarious when they ran up the rushing stats for dudes wearing #10. I had a nice chuckle at sheepish Green.

I think Green needs more games and maybe a little coaching to be confident in his own voice, but I do like the analysis he gives.

But 100% agree, it should be Harlan/Romo.

I’m normally a big fan of his, but today wasn’t his day IMO.

Green isn’t bad. And he’s better calling non KC teams, I think because he doesn’t have to prove he’s not a Homer. But Romo does a better job of spotting plays before they develop or predicting what teams will do. I’d say Green is CBS #2 for color commentator so I completely get what you’re saying.

Not only this but it doesn't seem as if Green has evolved much as a color analyst.

I admittedly don't get many Green games but yesterday was likely listening to a preseason game from like 7 years ago.

Harlan got the play result and game situation wrong a few times. It was like he was in his basement studio at home watching a feed and not actually at the game and able to see what he could choose to look at that was not on a screen.
