Joe & Joe both blow...

We never liked Joe Theismann as an announcer. He always talked way too much. And when he did, he did so with a tone of I am so much smarter than you or anyone else.

We barely remember Joe Gibbs doing some studio work in the '80s. His voice was terrible and he spoke in a monotone voice. We think he once fell asleep while talking. If not, we know we sure did.

So it was on Saturday that NBC came up with the brilliant idea to pair the two together for the Browns - Jets game. It was, perhaps, the worst announcing team (they were teamed with Golden Domer Tom Hammond) in recent memory. The only time Theismann shut his mouth was to try to get his old coach to say something, anything.

With under five minutes in the game, the Bengals had the ball and trailed the Jets, 24-14.

Theismann: "Coach, is this four down territory?"

Now, what Gibbs should have said was: "You frigging idiot! Of course it's four down territory! You are down by 10 points in the playoffs with less than five minutes in the game. Are you effing stupid?!?

Instead, Gibbs said: "Yes, this is four down territory."

Wow. Such riveting commentary.
