Robert Griffin III as a college football analyst is...FIRED BY ESPN

Featured Replies

Not terrible?

For a relatively new commentator, I thought he was pretty good overall. Also was not afraid to call out bad catches or passes. Corrected himself on the "targeting" by Cook after seeing an additional angle.

Fuck Baylor.

    I really, really hope Shaq punches Robert Griffin in the face. I don't care at all about WNBA rivalries. I just want to see Shaq slap Robert Griffin's face so hard that it flies off and lands on Emman

He's entertaining to the masses I am quite sure, which is all he needs to be.  

He is pretty good. I am surprised that he has a personality because he always seemed like a dork.

 

I hate Jones more.  One of the worst booths on any network for sure.

His commentary is not bad. His vision evidently is.

After a few replays he said “you know what that actually might not have been targeting, it’s hard to tell”. I don’t think most commentators would’ve corrected themselves like that.

I think he's really talented.

After being so adamant that it was targeting-he said something like it was the clearest example he’d ever seen-to then kind of, sort of, maybe, meekly retract it on the SAME ANGLE was pretty lame. 

Dude is so fragile I predict he will find a way to injure his knee in the booth.

This

 

He looks dorky as fuck, but I’ve always enjoyed him and though him and Mark Jones do well together.  They act like Unc and nephew in the booth.

Only if he has to slide …

I could do without the "spicy" comments after a Bijan run. Has he been training with Galindo?

Not exactly a fan but I guess he's sort of tolerable. I guess he eventually reached the correct conclusion on the fumble and "targeting." But only after doing everything in his power to be as wrong as possible first

A few too many "Johnny On The Spot" comments imo

He was awfully quick to declare that hit by Cook to be the most obvious targeting call in college football history. Fuck him, even though he eventually backed off.

Well, ear assault is better than ear rape I guess.

His first gf/wife had nice cans. Chick on the right is who replaced her

I thought he did well and he was very respectful to Texas and to Earl Campbell at the start of the game

Griffin's a fucking shtick driven idiot. After nearly losing his shit over the "targeting" call he then advocated for the elimination of helmets in the game. 

Imagine what that dumbfuck would be now without a helmet.

I don't get any of these fucks liking him and hating Galindo. He's black Galindo. Cringy as fuck and always feels the need to make some pun or stupid saying to punctuate everything he says.  Exact same as Galindo. He just does it in a more "street" black vernacular and Galindo does it in cringy white boy voice. But both are cringy as fuck

Griffin actually knows the game, Galindo doesn’t is the only difference.

He’s more of a drag than a set of tires wrapped around my ankles

On occasion. And then he says stupid shit like "... and that's why we shouldn't have helmets in the game." 

Griffin too often feels like he needs to get off the rails for the sake of getting off the rails. It's unnecessary schtick.

He knows the game obviously but most of his comments have nothing to do with football or shit that I can’t pick up on as just a common fan.

You mean “cornball brother”?

I would take Fran Drescher over Galindo, and it isn't close.

He was married to Herminone?

Fuck Baylor. 

He is and has been fine, actually pretty good when breaking down plays. If you are bitching about him it's simply a Baylor thing no real reason to not like him as an analyst 

His commentary on the actual game is not bad, but his insistence on his schtick is pretty damn hard to take for a 3-4 hour broadcast. All TV broadcast guys should learn to be more comfortable with dead air. You don't have to fucking talk all the time. We just want to watch the game. Tell us if you have some insight that makes it more interesting or explain a call or something. Otherwise shut the fuck up.

...still the same guy that was a team leader at Baylor for 4 years under Art Briles.

Girl on the left looks like a nice Baylor girl.

Girl on the right looks like a love robot.

This, it's not radio.

Am I taking crazy pills? I'm not a "hate the announcers" sort of guy. 95% of the time I don't care. But Griffin and Mark Jones today were bad. Seemed like they wanted to just constantly yuck it up in the booth.

And all those mustard jokes?

And if I was ISU, I would have hated the broadcast even more. Seemed like it was completely Texas centric (at least the parts I watched) despite ISU winning the last three in the series.

I like that his ex makes the same face I make when staring at her tits.  

Oh and he's tolerable, I guess.

He was fair about that, after some idiotic comments about both the fumble and targeting. He’s still not good at what he does. He makes dumb comments like the battle of the Xs would determine the game. He might get better because he’s willing to be open minded. I didn’t like all his love for Mark Jones. He’s a huckster.  Not as bad as Lowell for sure. Hope he improves because he seems likable. 

With the right PXP guy he is good. With Jones, it seems like he's way too goofy. And then they try to out do each other.

Wait, wait, wait. Had nice cans? She had them removed?

He’s been announcing for three years. This is as good as it gets. 
 
I was pissed about him calling targeting. It clearly was shoulder to shoulder. I think he was calling loudly for what he wanted it to be, and I was afraid the replay booth was listening and would be swayed. 
  
If Joel Klatt is a 9.5 as an announcer, what is RG3? I think a 3. I see him as another Andre Ware or Spencer Tillman (or Dean Blevins back in the day)- a modestly talented PXP guy with a cute game of gently grinding an axe against Texas.

They gave Bijan so much free advertisement for his product and people are still bitching.
