Would love to see an effort to bring the guy back.

I totally agree...great voice. He and Danielson would make a very good pair.


I'd love to see it happen. You always knew Franklin would be bringing his best when he called a game.

Brando is a biased POS , if he wanted the gig he shouldn't have allowed himself to get down in the gutter with callers , I am surprised CBS hasn't fired the no talent bum yet.

Franklin was good on TV but he must have been a huge douche to work with.

He had to have been given a talking to about the way he treated co-workers far more than the couple that were publicized.

Franklin and Gottfried complemented each other we'll. They had a 6 '7 sideline guy that committed a bullet to his head,Adrian something.

I think it's hilarious that the only people who like Verne are Bama fans, for the most part.

Although he's a bit senile, I can take Verne. I like Gary.

But no one beats Brad Nessler and Todd Blackledge.

As a bama fan, I actually think Gary is one of the best in the business. Verne is tolerable, and I wouldn't mind seeing him leave, but it would just be so weird watching CBS games without them, and dear lord please don't replace him with Brando.

Frick no Brando.

and I really hope Ha Ha Clinton-Dix graduates soon so Verne can quit brutalizing his name. Almost as bad as him never getting JPW's name right.

Yep. And it's funny to hear the explanations. "Yeah, he's not very good, and gets names wrong and stuff, but I like him."

No.

Tim Brando has said some very negative things about Alabama just to stir up conversation and reactions; you know it as trolling.

"Nothing more vile than an upset Alabama fan"

I don't care about any of that gossip crap. I just like the way he called the games.

If any of them had a problem making him a sandwich, that's more of a knock against them.
