Brian Baldinger???
 

I'm just curious what anyone thinks of Baldinger???? Also, what do you guys think of him on Playbook (NFL Network)???

Re: Brian Baldinger???
 

he is an idiot who assumes too much

Re: Brian Baldinger???
 

I like him better on Playbook than in the booth. On playbook they have more time to break down and analize what they'll be talking about.

A game is more "fluid", if you will. Tape helps you talk about the teams playing, but you really have to be in the moment and be able to analize to be a good commentator. I think he's better at breaking down film.

FOX is hurting for Color guys. Unless you get Aikman with Joe Buck, they all sound dumb. I provide better color in my own house with my Dad and I watching the games together than most of these guys.

Anyone who follows a team very closely is usually going to have a problem with the broadcasters. They are just not as tuned into the team as someone who follows the team daily. Some of them hide it better than others, but for the most part they don't know what they are talking about. They can break down what happened on a play, but when they start talking about specifics of the team and what's happening this season overall they tend to get exposed. They can get away with that overall though since most of the audience is a casual fan or indifferent alltogether.

Anything is better than Cris Collinsworth!

Baldinger went to Duke and walked on to the football team, was undrafted and basically walked on to the cowboys. I know him to be a bright and articulate guy, despite the Maas-like things he says during games.

Re: Brian Baldinger???
 

bright and articulate? nah

he spent the whole game telling the audience that the game has passed gibbs by and he always seems to have "just talked to them the other day" whenever he talks about anyone or anything. Its annoying, and he's just as bad as maas.

Re: Brian Baldinger???
 

Baldinger is a almost as bad a Mcguire.. And thats bad.

Baldinger was made fun of by his own network yesterday on Fox's First Team radio show. The exact quote was: "Baldinger is an assault on the cochlea." The guy dissing him is a Skins fan too, so he's obviously thinking like us.
