Sometimes he can keep his bias in check, but he was pretty much a tool tonight imo.

Discuss.

I don't think tirico was much better.

USC finally scores first TD of game. Aided by a penalty on third down and long, plus a 4th down conversion, and Tirico says "USC went right down the field for that TD, It's what they do"

Oh really Mike, in the 3rd quarter down 28-0 that's what they do?

I don't have a big problem with Flutie. I just don't see this massive anti-ND bias that people allege. Sure, he gets in a little dig here and there, but I didn't hear anything ridiculously out of line on his part.

I loved when he whipped off his granny glasses when he figured out he was on film. Frankly I thought Mayock was great and Pat Haden was my favorite and paired up great with Ara. I feel bad for Flutie with his bad shoe polish hair dye "Just for men". Just sad. I cut Flutie some slack because he has a special needs kid and he does a lot for that charity.

Actually, this year, yes it's kinda actually what they have been doing.

Flutie looks like a muppet. He and Tirico were awful last night. I think towards the end of the first half when ND was up 28-0, they were saying that is was SC that was beating themselves. No mention that ND was dominating in all aspects of the game. It was all due to SC mistakes.

And the Darnold circle jerk was really hard to listen to. I thought they were going to hold the Heisman ceremony right there at half time. I don't think you can have 9 total turnovers at this point in the season and be in the award discussion.

You can't please everyone, but i'm shocked to hear that some think Tirico hasn't been great.


Flutie wouldn't be so bad if he could just restrain/contain the excitement in his voice when something bad happens to Notre Dame. Be it a penalty or review, his bias shows through like a window.

Keep complaining about Flutie and maybe they'll bring back Mayock or hire Taylor or Quinn..

Start complaining about Tirico and maybe they'll put Hicks back in the booth...

My advice, keep complaining about Flutie but don't say another word about Tirico.

He has 10 interceptions alone.

Tirico knows his stuff and pretty much calls it down the middle. Flutie is a putz that revels in the Irish struggling. He did not have a good night.

Flutie is already bad at color commentary.

He is worse by orders of magnitude when ND plays well. That should tell you everything you need to know... he isn’t ever prepared to offer actual analysis when ND makes a big play. There is some dead air after the score, and then you can hear his brain working as the only thing he can do is repeat what’s happening on the screen without any actual talking points.

“You see here, Adams bursts through the line and he’s off to the races. He’s a big guy, but has a nose for the end zone.”

Thanks, Doug. Don’t pull a hammy on that analysis.

What gets me is it really appears that NBC is writing the talking points for them. They show accompaning video and have sideline discussion know exactly where the parents are. It’s like they have a deal with ND but do their best to mock us. WTH?

Flutie sucks, enough with BC grads doing ND games already. Mayock wasn't bad but he had his insufferable moments as well. At least Tirico seemed pretty balanced. Sometimes I'll mute the TV and listen to a radio broadcast on my laptop or cell phone.

What would it take to get Brady Quinn or Aaron Taylor to do ND games? NBC needs to get it through their heads that their contract is for airing ND games and hire accordingly.

Doug Flutie killed 5 hookers while at BC....allegedly.

I'm not saying that he killed 5 hookers and buried them behind his dorm, but I honestly couldn't tell you with confidence that he didn't.

Yeah I have it on good authority that he didn't even pay for most of them so in most cases he's only guilty of the murder part......

Mayock and Tirico would be amazing.
