I forgot about this earlier but watching the KC/BUF game, aside from being ugly, reinforced the notion that Gus Johnson's forced enthusiasm is not nearly as endearing as most people insist it is. Randomly screaming at non-exciting plays gets old, and takes away from when his genuine enthusiasm.

Odd, I found that the only appealing thing about being stuck watching KC/BUF. I also don't think his enthusiasm is forced; I think he's just always got a chubby when watching sports.

 

He was screaming at random nothing plays, and he would just go from normal voice to scream to normal voice. It seemed really forced at times. It's jarring when it runs counter to what is actually happening. I know I'm in the minority but I just don't get the over the top love for his over the top emotion. He's better than most announcers out there, but he's still making the same stupid mistakes and missing obvious stuff, just not as bad as some of the hacks. I don't have a problem with him overall, I just don't get the love.

 

Part of me agrees that it is very forced and kind of annoying. But the other part of me actually got more drawn into watching the end of that game when it came on CBS locally because every incomplete pass was the most amazing play in football history.

 

"and fitzpatrick, BACK TO PASS, THROWS IT TOWARDS THE SIDELINES AND...BOWE IS UNABLE TO GET A HAND ON IT!!!. SO IT WILL BE 2ND and 10 from the Bills 38 yard line.

Oh yeah, and has anybody actually spotted any blood from that Favre hit? You don't take 12 stitches to the chin without a ton of blood spewing, and I didn't see any. Neither has anybody else I asked.

 

I'm pretty sure you could see it in his chin strap. Other than that he had his hand covering it most of the time and the trainers immediately had it covered with gauze.

When you bust open a chin, blood gets everywhere in a hurry. I've done it a few times and never did it require 8 or 10 stitches (I've seen reports of both), just 2 or 3. A hand isn't going to stop it, a detached chin strap isn't going to contain it, and the gauze would be bright red in a hurry.

So what are you suggesting? That he and the trainers were faking the injury for some reason but immediately thought to cover the chin and make up a story that his chin was bleeding and required stitches? Then put makeup on him later to look like stitches?

That like many of his other injuries he decided to draw maximum attention to himself and overexaggerated everything. If a chin is busted open to the point that you need 8 or 10 stitches, there will be blood. He's been lauding his toughness and willingness to play through pain and come back from injury non stop this season.

So he made them put in extra stitches to exaggerate it?

I can't speak for jersey, but I'm suggesting that Favre is a bloodless undead creature.

Whoever said it earlier in the thread is correct. I'm convinced he's a cockroach.

Favre would never run away and hide when the lights came on.

 

Sure seems like he's done that in every big game he's had over the last 12 years or so.

 

I guess eventually that's how it turns out, but it's more like he limps away after the lights have been on for a few hours.

He slid a ketchup packet in there before that play. The trainers and medical staff caught on to this phony injury plan and immediately started using towels to provide pressure to his chin. The doctors then agreed it would be a good idea to add extra stitches just for his p.r.

 

I hated Favre as much as anyone and understand how easy it is to get sick of some of his stuff, but come on.
