I just get aggravated when something obvious happens, and he gets it wrong. Like in the 2009 SEC CG, a FG attempt hits the upright, a Fla player catches it off the deflection and starts running. He had no clue that it wasn't a live ball. He and Verne were asking each other if it was returnable. No excuse for that lack of knowledge.


Usually when there is a question over an obvious call like the one you're referring to (which I remember), it's Verne who questions it first. Gary seems like he plays along for Verne's sake.

Gary is the best analyst in the game a far as I'm concerned but he comes across as a little pompous sometimes.

Brando is too biased for my taste. He has a problem with UF for some reason and will usually get a shot in when he can during CBS halftime.

I think we all know Verne is a Bama guy, but its tolerable. Brando is a huge LSU guy. He has said he greatly dislikes Auburn (probably Florida and any other LSU rival too).

The way Verne talks about Alabama is so biased. So annoying to have to listen to on tv. He was so happy in the first half of the 2010 Iron Bowl.


Oh please. He couldn't get off Newtons dick that whole year. Not as bad as Tebow but still bad

He doesn't have an affinity for Alabama. He gets excited when ANY team does something. You just aren't paying attention when it's LSU doing something good

The fact that so many hate Brando pretty much guarantees that's the way CBS will go.

Brando has really done some damage to the updykes psyche.

Exactly. Verne is pro Bama (if you can call it that) right now because Alabama is on top. From '07-'09 he was pro Florida, more specifically Tebow. And for the Alabama fan that said they couldn't stop talking about Johnny, no shite, he's the best player in the game. That's their job and Verne does a decent job at it and Gary is great at it.

Don't like Verne. Don't like Brando. Danielson is knows his shite.

If I ruled the world, Nessler & Blackledge would do every game on every channel.

They need to NOT renew Verne's contract. He may have been good back in the day, but I can't stand to listen to him. "Oh My!" Brando is okay, but CBS could do better.

Are y'all trolling? He's a know it all because he does his homework and pretty much knows it all. He's WAY more knowledgable than pretty much any other PBP guy.
