You don't leave the number one college football network "mutually". Regardless, he is a troll and is not that knowledgeable about football. Picked Louisville to win the BCS this year. Picked Ole Miss to win the SEC a few years ago. His never ending love affair with Boise.

Probably 'cause a fly got in his ointment or something.

He can be really abrasive and unprofessional, but I don't mind him on the air.

To each his own, but I can't stand Danielson. He has his favorites and makes it clear.

People let Danielson's excitement about football mess up their assessment. He does get on streaks where he just wants to talk about one team or player, but he just likes the game and wants to talk about it.

He's not like Verne, who will be openly celebratory if his team is doing well, and get openly exasperated when the other team has success.

Because Danielson is f'ing smart about football. He won't put you to sleep with his knowledge, either..which is what makes him good.

It means that once we get rid of one clown (Verne) we don't replace him with another one (Brando).


That was the plan, but who knows what's in the works now.

Brando is a good guy, though. Knows his stuff, and obviously knows how to troll Alabama fans


I never minded brando.

What did he do to alabama fans?

And I share the opinion that danielson is a pretty good color guy, don't know what's not to like about him.

And in an ironic twist, every day that Brando was counting the days til the end of his most hated BCS system he was also counting down the days of his job.

"Heeeyyyyyyy Booooooyyyyyy!!!!"

Some commentators can pick on and troll and team or fanbase and do it in a reasoned way. Cowherd, for example, trolls the heck out of fanbases all the time but does it in a humorous, good spirited way. Brando, on the other hand, seems spiteful and vindictive in his trolling.

Brando's radio show would be decent if not for all the redneck sidekicks of his babbling on and on in the background. Brando fancies himself a sophisticated sports commentator and likes to take shots at so called redneck fanbases yet he has redneck sidekicks running wild on his Lousiana based radio show.

He didn't put them in his top 5 at the 1st half of the season

Then he continually brought up, daily..how Alabama fans are calling the phone lines bitching about not being in his top 5

It's not that he loved Boise, he hated the BCS format, so he pulled for any team that would ruffle the feathers of the BCS system.

Also, Danielson is the best analyst in the business. Verne is the worst play-by-play IMO.
His favorite calls are OH NOOOOO (when a team gets a first down against Bama) and YEESSSSS (when bama gets a first down)

Listened to his radio show for the first time a few days ago. It was awful. Very sophomoric which was surprising for a "national" guy like him. Could barely listen through all the little corny canned sounds they play constantly. Brando's best gig is as a basketball play by play guy and is average at that. Otherwise he is pretty much change the channel worthy to me.

AKA, radio personalities that don't agree with Govt Tide's opinion are bad bad

Get over it...he's one of the few that won't cradle Alabama's balls while sucking them off.

Brando is not well liked by LSU fans as he really is a prick as a person. Many locally know he is famous for playing the "do you know who you are talking to "card when trying to throw his weight around BR. A State Trooper friend heard that from him when he clocked Brando at 80 mph in a 55 mph zone. The Trooper responded with "you are talking to the guy who's going to take you to jail if you don't shut up". No loss to the college football world at all.
