MNF - Booger
I never really get a chance to watch MNF...always at football practice, but tonight the boys are off.....
I'm thinking......"who is that third commentator guy? Ugh?"
some of his "color commentary" has me like....."wha.?"
Has a real knack for stating the painfully obvious, after the other commentators said the same thing.
So I felt annoyed enough and googled it....Booger McFarland.
seriously?
We have a guy like that at work....we call him "2 cents"
someone says something......2 cents repeats it
someone else adds a point or two.....2 cents repeats it
another department member offers a counterpoint.....2 cents repeats it
Gets old. Other opinions on Booger?
Amazing how the MNF gig went from premiering the "A" list talent to amateur night at the Improv. Has TNF made MNF irrelevant?
I've heard Booger talk on a few national sports talk shows (radio) and he's much more insightful and knowledgable in that format. Its not coming across on MNF. He's actually very good talking about college football, interesting takes. But he's just not either comfortable or the TV format isn't working with his particular skill set.

I also think Sunday Night game has replaced it with most fans.@"Ralphie" said: Amazing how the MNF gig went from premiering the "A" list talent to amateur night at the Improv.

I have heard him on other shows and stations. I just don't think this format works to his strengths.
I recommend not listening to anyone with the name Booger.
Booger is a very entertaining guy actually. I think this is the wrong format for him. This gig requires you to get your point out quickly. Boogers is more in his element when he can spin stories about games and such. He hasn't learned yet maybe how to compact his personality into a 15 second
Response. So that may explain why he's coming off like a parrot. He would be better suited for a football show like pre-game. He's far funnier them most those clowns.
Correction: funnier then ALL them clowns.
