Mike Tirico? You want to talk about Mike Tirico?!
Golf commentator turned NFL broadcaster?
The same guy that once stuck his head between an ESPN Intern's legs as she tried to drive away?
Tirico is great at reading the script. He doesn't know the first thing about analyzing the NFL.
Is Brian Murphy still lobbying for Thomas Clayton to get playing time? I stopped listening after one week in 2004.

WTF? That's even more of a reason to get this guy out of commenting, let alone give football based opinions.

Well, they are partly right. Smith does seem to play better when he's throwing out of the shotgun formation. However; it is also painfully obvious that our O-line cannot run block at all.
It boils down to what gives the team the best chance to win. And right now, with this O-line, it's playing out of the shotgun.

Murph and Mac are so stupid. Mike Tirico wouldn't know why we are spreading it out because he hasn't seen how bad our offensive line is at making holes for Frank.
Only reason we're in that game against Seattle is because our pass game, our rushing game was non-existent. There's no holes for Gore to run through, and when there is, he seems to run into the pile instead of hitting the wide f**king open hole. I dunno what the hell Frank's thinking lately, but he's fallen off hard.
Murph and Mac are idiots plain and simple..cant stand those dorks...the oline is terrible, its just that simple

They remind me of that episode of Family Guy with the annoying announcers and the annoying sounds they make when they broadcast. I hate Radnich too. Does this guy ever talk sports?
Can the Bay Area get some real sports guys on the radio that actually like talking about football and know what they are talking about???
I hate Gary Radnich too
Add me in, the guy is annoying.

I actually like listening to Radnich, but sometimes he does get kind of annoying. But for the most part he is pretty funny

Good thread, If we had the line we would run it is that so hard for them to realize?

Love how they say "over the year he's proven" like the kid played in 5 season when in fact he barely has two full seasons under his belt.

yeah, it will be interesting to see how fast they jump on the smith bandwagon if he has a good game, or to see what they say if he doesn't...
even if smith blows up this game...if we lose, I say let Davis have the next 3 games...

Yeah, Murph and Mac bothered me a lot more than Tirico did. I know he is just the go between with Jaws and Gruden. Murph and Mac should at least know a decent amount about the team they're covering and they don't see the core problem. That just pisses me off. And when they made the comment it was almost like they were whining about it. I haven't been listening to them long enough but they are entertaining for the most part. Now I know they know nothing about football.
I for one hope Alex Smith gives the Cards and the media a nice warm cup of shut the hell up tonight.
GO NINERS!!!

I would have to go with Barbieri. At least when the 49ers win, Radnich seems upbeat. Barbieri is just so angry and negative. And dont get me started on that voice.
