BOOGER MCFARLAND
1.) If he feels Brady is better he's entitled to that opinion. That is the opinion of pretty much anybody that isn't a Saints fan.
Agreed. But the timing of giving the opinion could have been deflected like this: "aw man, Tess. Yeah. It's hard to put anyone over Brady, and I would have that debate another time because it's really interesting, but I don't want to take away from what this man has accomplished here tonight. And I love fried fish."
2.) Although ticky tack, TQS did push off. I don't think it should have been flagged, but he did push off. Take the homer glasses off
Not wanting a questionable flag to disrupt a record breaking play, which was a pretty incredible and rewatchable play that would have gone down in history is not wearing homer glasses. By any stretch.
3.) All announcers are biased especially former players. Nothing new here.
True, but Booger even got the "Creole vs Cajun" designation wrong (south part of the state verses the north? I mean seriously?) I don't mind him in most cases, but good lord, dude. You're from Louisiana.
4.) He's better than Witten and some others. I don't dislike him, he's just not the best. Like Strief, it takes time to get good at a job like that if you aren't a natural for it.
I think that Booger is actually pretty natural when speaking, but he fixates on stupid and ill informed data and just parrots it too often. The "Brissett is still a young quarterback" narrative as an example. Dude's 27, which is the same age as Bridgewater btw, and in his 4th year. It's time to think that he's probably pretty close to what he's going to be at this point, and not some wide eyed youngster just excited for his chance to shine. I feel that he's firmly in the journeyman category.
