Probably get our game in Dallas......

[Uncle Remus]

My feelings for her have absolutely nothing to do with gender...she is absolutely terrible and is being given this platform because of her gender.  She is not a good announcer and the last game I heard her call was riddled with mistakes and anticipating calls rather than letting officials do their jobs.  I for one will not be tuning in to listen to her and may just have to turn the volume down.  Please no Razorback games this year!

[Hog-Corleone]

To be fair, when ESPN interviewed her, it was over the phone, and they thought they were talking to Marv Albert...

[Sed76]

Would rather listen to Vern Lundquist chuckle and say Lutzenkirken for 12 straight hours than sit through a 3 hour game Beth Mowins calls.

Lol.

Spot on.

She should be calling the Greenland Curling Championship......prelims.

[The Boar War]

Maybe someone could find a Confederate General named Beth Mowins.

[ImHogginIt]

She actually calls a good game but that nasally Yankee voice is like listening to fingernails on a chalkboard.

[Hogimus Prime]

She is bad.  ESPN's booth talent had gone down the drain before their layoffs, now even worse.

[Hawgphish]

No, I'd rather listen to Brad Nessler speak about some guy who played tight end for us a few years back called Travis Henry. If I'm not mistaken, that's the illegitimate son of Hunter Henry.

[Ex-Trumpet]

Well that's past my bedtime, so...

I get up with the chickens.

[WayneHawg]

Rex Ryan is helping her! So there's that

Brad Nessler made a ton of mistakes Saturday. Surprisingly so.

[BOAR_N2BWILD]

This is awful. I hate listening to her. I have muted the tv and just watching.

[sowmonella]

I'm watching on ESPNH2. It's in Spanish but it's better than Beth.

[Großer Kriegschwein]

Brilliant. I can work on my Spanish on H2 or maybe my Hungarian on the Ocho

[Atlhogfan1]

Sergio worked on his English.   

[mizzouman]

Like I've said before. You'll see more women doing sports because it's cheaper.

[sowmonella]

She's got the knowledge.  Her voice inflections sound like a 60's or 70's AM disc jockey. I;m expecting to hear her promising stacks and stacks of red hot wax after the commercial.

[mizzouman]

This will sound sexist but I just don't care for women sports broadcasters.  I just don't.  I will immediately change the channel.  But that's just me.  Nothing against her and more power to her.  But for me, I won't watch. 

[Ex-Trumpet]

Like I've said before. You'll see more women doing sports because it's cheaper.

Might go over some heads but that's funny!!

[3kgthog]

I'm sure ESPN's inbox was full of love this morning.

[DeltaBoy]

She is horrible.

[STLhawg]

Rex Ryan is helping her! So there's that

I had the second half of the game on (while doing other things) and boy oh boy were those two horrible!  ESPN needs to let someone else do MNF if they cannot get better announcers.

[jkstock04]

Of course you don't. 99.9% of "football guys" wouldn't care for it. I disagree with you though...I don't think it has anything to do with it being cheaper. This is a progressive thing...which is the road ESPN has taken these days.

[mizzouman]

She is horrible.

I saw about 3 minutes and turned off the sound.  I left the game on because I wanted to watch a particular player otherwise I would went to bed early. 

However, if you follow some fellow sports personalities on Twitter, they love her.  But again, they will love any of their brethren no matter how bad they are.

[Redhogs]

I'm sure ESPN's inbox was full of love this morning.

Yep...and they are firing up her jet for dallas. 

[NaturalStateReb]

I don't hate Beth Mowins or the idea of women calling a game.  What I hate is ESPN's instance that any female game announcer sound like she could have been on the East German wrestling team. 

[Hoggish1]

I've said it many times before but I will not watch a game with the sound on when she's doing it.  ESPN doesn't care...

[mizzouman]

Of course you don't. 99.9% of "football guys" wouldn't care for it. I disagree with you though...I don't think it has anything to do with it being cheaper. This is a progressive thing...which is the road ESPN has taken these days.

You might be right about progressive but I think part of the progressive movement is throwing away great talent and replacing them with cheaper talent.  And let's face it, women are cheaper.  It's wrong but they are and that's the reality of it.  Sports networks are losing money and need to cut where they can.  Unfortunately, they are cutting the exact thing that brings viewers to the TV set....on air talent.

[mizzouman]

I've said it many times before but I will not watch a game with the sound on when she's doing it.  ESPN doesn't care...

No they don't as long as the game is ON YOUR TV.  They don't care if the sound is on or off. 

[hogsanity]

Yet ESPN is not calling any of you broadcast experts to work games for them.....................

Think about it from ESPN's perspective. They have enough issues without having to ear about how they do not have any female pbp on the biggest leagues, so they give her a NFL game and some mid level college games. They have a female color analyst on MLB games, and some females working various aspects of the NBA. So they have shut down one avenue where they could be attacked as sexist.

[Jackrabbit Hog]

I wonder if Rex sucked her toes and gave her a foot massage during the broadcast?

[Maximus Tusk]

will be doing the play by play for tonights broncos/chargers game. wow

Well I pulled the plug on the NFL recently due to the players using their platform to become political activists. That actually was just the last straw for me. The political correctness that the NFL and ESPN has decided to go "all in" with just makes me sick and has taken the fun out of the game for me. I want to watch football to get away from all that stuff. I don't miss it and surprisingly, my quality of life has improved...

[threeNout]

I've always tended to turn the announcers down on TV, I just want to see it.

The only exception was Dave Rowe on the old Jefferson Pilot broadcast, because when he got excited about something he could be hilarious, his descriptions of an O-lineman getting a pancake block were pure gold.

[Kevin]

last night's game had aj derby, hunter henry, darius philon so I watched

Derby has his name called what seemed to be as much as Henry!  He didn't disappoint t

[Razorbackers]

Well if she had a more high pitch cadence to her voice everyone here would say she is shrill.

[DoctorSusscrofa]

I support Beth Mowins and I'll watch games she calls.

[sickboy]

You guys started a thread to bitch about Beth Mowins calling an NFL game?
