Say your the world's most passionate chocolate lover. All day and all night, you think about chocolate. Chocolate. Chocolate. Chocolate. The thing is, you can only have chocolate sixteen times a year. You really look forward to those times.
So, the analogy goes, on one of your sixteen days, you find out that you can eat all the chocolate you want from a giant vat. The vat is filled with the finest, most rich chocolate in the world. The only problem is that someone - let's say, maybe, the late Marge Schott (work with me here) - has pooped in the vat. Sure, most of the vat is still okay, because it is a large vat, and Marge Schott doesn't make very big poo. But still, the process is tainted, and just can't be enjoyed to its fullest.
That's how I feel finding out Bill Maas is calling a Bronco game.

For me, listening to Todd Christensen call a game is like having the chocolate and poop ratios inverted.
DomCasual has had some really good posts in the past few days, I enjoy reading him.

Oh yes, you have unerringly elucidated the invidiousness I feel towards Todd Christensen.

First off, this is effing hilarious. Secondly, welcome to the hell that is Redskin's football when FOX is covering it. We get this @ssclown at least 4 times a year. Listening to this guy is like nailing your own ears to a plank.

I can imagine. But look at the bright side - being in the NFC, you don't get Randy Cross very often.
I just wish Bill Maas would sit down with a speech therapist and learn to pronounce the "th" sound.
"Tongue on the teeth, Bill, tongue on the teeth. Now say, 'Thing Theory The That.'"
"Ding, Deery, Duh, Dat."
"Um, okay - that's enough for today, Bill."
The fact that he played his career with the Chiefs makes the experience even more rich.

I'll also join in the Mass bashing. I absolutely despise the guy and usually watch without the volume when he is on. I'd much rather have Troy Aikman do the game. (and that is saying something)

LMAO! I just got a hysterical mental picture of Bill Maas in My Fair Lady, lol.

I think I remember why now. During our last game at Mile High, I think he and Rosen were on the call.
And he was extremely complimentary of the Broncos franchise and how Mile High was his favorite place to play, etc.
During the last few minutes of the game they showed a bunch of fans dressed up as orange Crush and he commented on how much he liked the old Orange Crush and the old orange uniforms.
So, he has earned some rope for that!

I agree. Unlike Todd Christensen, Bill Maas has never brought his divisional rival biases into his Bronco telecasts. I enjoy listening to him.

Good Lord, you managed to get Marge Schott, Bill Maas, poop, and a vat of chocolate all in the same post. That has got to be some kind of record or something. Great post. I laughed my ass off.

That's about right, he's that full of sh!t. For the sweet, sweet yummy goodness that lies within you must wade through a river of sh!t. Meet Todd Christensen, your favorite taint sucker.

I haven't seen him for a while, thank god. Is he still employed?

I think he does the occasional college football game for ESPN. His schedule gives him much more time to study his thesaurus - in search of big words he can use out of context during the games he covers.

Kevin Harlan was the voice of the Chiefs over a decade ago. He's since "graduated" to TV games...

It's a push as to who would be a better play by play guy though. So your mistake is understandable.

So, we have Kevin Harlan, the former voice of the Chiefs, and Bill Maas, longtime Chief, calling the game?
Great.

Randy Cross was the worst of all time...but at least he was short term. I usually turn off the sound and tune in the radio or internet on MNF to avoid Madden's non stop gas bag routine. I don't care much for Dave Logan on KOA either. Can he find something else to say after a score besides, "...and that's a Denver touchdown".
We know that.
