re: What's wrong with Eli Gold?

Yes I do. You're used to seeing every detail on TV and he's not giving every detail fast enough. If we score, he says TOUCHDOWN ALABAMA so in your example, you know Najee was down at the 5 and he comes back to fine tune it.

You and I have verrrry different expectations for a play-by-play announcer. Eli works for you, and that's great. For me -- and for a significant subset of the Alabama fanbase -- he's frustratingly inconsistent with his announcing. He's the 2020 Alabama defense of announcers.

As an aside, the next time you go to a game, don't look screen for the down and distance, look at the down and yard markers to know where each team is on the field and how far they have to go for the next down. You'll never be caught looking away from the field when something cool happens.

Is THAT what those guys are doing on the sidelines? I thought that was some sort of Stretch Armstrong contraption they were holding. Thank you for clearing that up.

While I've got you, though, can you explain to me what the "chain gang" is people keep talking about? I thought those were prisoners, but apparently it's some people at a football game.
