The NFL Broadcast pairings are out and to my chagrin the greatness that is Gus Johnson will only be covering selective NFL games.
The reasoning is because that Johnson is now the main college football play by play man for Fox, but Fox doesn’t show a lot of college football games, so I think his talents are being misused.
He should be the #1 NFL play by play guy for Fox. Gus Johnson to Joe Buck is like comparing Jay Z to Soulja Boy.
