on the poor quality of the games they are working.

Let's face it, it does no good for them to gloss over what any fan watching the game sees just as clearly as the nose on their face. Many of the games suck. Too many teams, too many lopsided mismatches, too many penalties, too much uninventive, formulaic play calling.

More often than not, pro football games are a letdown, especially when one considers how highly they are hyped.
