Sterling Sharpe to do Bills-Colts play-by-play

[Mitchy moo]

Former Green Bay Packers (http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/sports/green-bay-packers-ORSPT000042.topic) receiver Sterling Sharpe will try his hand at play-by-play.

An NFL (http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/sports/football/national-football-league-ORSPT000007.topic) analyst for 12 years, Sharpe will call the game for the NFL Network when Buffalo visits Indianapolis for a preseason game Sunday. It will be the first NFL game at the Colts (http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/sports/football/baltimore-colts-ORSPT000159.topic)' new Lucas Oil Stadium.

Sharpe will be joined by analysts Marshall Faulk (http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/sports/marshall-faulk-PESPT002183.topic) and Deion Sanders (http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/sports/deion-sanders-PESPT006469.topic), with Adam Schefter reporting from the sidelines.

True.

wasn't there some issue with marshall faulk last year? i forget what he said about the bills but it created quite a stir.

1. i will be surprised if the bills win more than 3 games this year
2. the bills need to go out this offseason and get a good left tackle

heres another good one

bills will probably go 7-9 again or 8-8 and the reasoning is becasue they are losing a great O-coordinator in Fairchild

[VeggieMan14]

he pernounced losman lowsman

they lost a true leader in nate clements

[VeggieMan14]

he said luckily jp losman got injured because with him at qb they would not win a game maybe 1

he said derrick dokerdy

he butchered turks last name ill try to spell it like he says it shernoroit

Paint drying vs. marble mouth. Pick your poison.

[Pinkerton Security]

</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>TURN UP THE RADIO: For those of you that are able to see this Sunday's preseason game on NFL Network and live in an area where you can listen to the Bills Radio Network, I'd encourage you to turn the volume down on your TV sets and turn up the radio.
The reason why is the TV broadcast team for the Colts-Bills preseason game will be Sterling Sharpe, Marshall Faulk and Deion Sanders.
You might be asking the same question I did when I was told what the on air lineup was going to be.
"Who the heck is doing play by play?"
Sterling Sharpe unfortunately is the answer. Not that I'd be any happier if one of the other two were handling those duties.
I'm just pretty confident that if you listen to them you'll hear an awful lot about them, Peyton Manning (who likely won't play) and maybe Deion mentions Leodis McKelvin.
So do yourselves a favor and turn up the radio and listen to Murph and Kelso. You'll be glad you did.

Gumbel was horrible last year. And how Faulk keeps his job as an analyst defies logic. If I'm not mistaken when the regular season starts they'll have Cris Collinsworth in the booth.
