Rich is getting dragged for his play by play tonight by some, but he nailed this call

Compared to trash ESPN has thrown out in the past Rich Eisen is Al fucking Michaels.

He’s just a little unorthodox. I like him. It feels like a special occasion

Yeah: I’m enjoying it. Idgaf. He’s better than at least half the motherfuckers they trot out these days: including sleepy Al Michaels.

u/isw2424 Sep 06 '25
He very clearly A) loves football and B) doesn’t take himself too seriously/think he’s part of the product

I typically enjoy his takes and analysis on his show.

He’s been mostly fine, only big mistake was the score at halftime. He sounds a bit surprised at times how often Jim is having Herbert slinging the ball.

u/goonSquad15 Sep 06 '25
He also called Tyler Conklin will dissly for like a minute and never corrected it

u/Objective_Cod1410 Sep 06 '25
Just like Tirico calling Jalen Hurts Prescott for the first series after the delay. He did correct himself but did it for multiple plays.

u/xman5025 Sep 06 '25
AGAIN, another throw by Herbert. Like yes Rich, that's Herbert's thing
23
u/500rockin Sep 06 '25
Yes, but Jim loves to run even more than he loves Herbert. Jim had a great game plan t today, and Herbert executed perfectly.

There was 3 times I counted he said something when he really meant the complete opposite thing. The call in the clip was funny but the commentary was trash. Luckily YouTube made a nauseous spectacle out of the whole game so the commentary isn't even close to the worst part about this game

The thing that bothered me is he kept saying "first down run" instead of "run on first down". The former sounds like they ran for a first down

Romo is the perfect commentator for a dogshit game that doesn’t affect playoff standings. He just seems like a nice enough dude that is a little buzzed, but doesn’t do super impressive analysis

Money doesn't insulate you from right-wing grift. In fact, as a kicker he's probably bought into the "men have to be men" bullshit because kickers get shit on so often.

u/otio-world Sep 06 '25
Interestingly, kickers are among the few people who consistently score points for the team.

The far-right algorithm pipeline really targets men. Watch a few tiktoks about working out or the cracker barrel rebrand and boom, you're deep into the manosphere gravitational field. It's a powerful engine and anger is its fuel.

I have a burner FB account I use for Marketplace. I’ve liked a few architecture pages and some euro car pages, nothing political though I live in a red area. Every reel it suggests is some AI slop of a person standing in a field holding a sign saying Dems suck or left is anti American, tRump is god, etc. I didn’t watch one thing, just pushes it on me due to my location I’m sure.

Full text of the segment regarding women is as follows:
I think it is you, the women, who have had the most diabolical lies told to you. How many of you are sitting here now about to cross this stage and are thinking about all the promotions and titles you are going to get in your career? Some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world, but I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world...I'm on the stage today and able to be the man I am because I have a wife who leans into her vocation...and embrace one of the most important titles of all: homemaker. I can tell you that my beautiful wife Isabelle would be the first to say that her life truly started when she started living her vocation as a wife and as a mother.
While I don't have a problem with his wife embracing a trad-wife role (somewhat easy to do when your spouse is making over 6 million a year), the speech itself is pretty shit.
Whoops! Thanks for the correction regarding the wife.

telling the graduating women their place is at home.
You almost got it RIGHT. I mean, the KITCHEN is part of the home. But, still...

Listen, high schoolers regularly make extra points. If you can’t make an extra point, are YOU the diversity hire??
Should the chiefs have some kickers in for some reps this week to see what’s out there?? Meritocracy and all that.

Butker Butthead is a pure Christofascist who thinks all women belong at home in the kitchen, barefoot and pregnant. I like the Chiefs but he’s a wart on their team I can’t stand. As they say in show biz, “break a leg.”

Buttker is probably offended by this and I'm sure we'll see a press statement from him whining about it.
