The Law of Gus Johnson

[Oaf]

continues.



Texans (+1.5) over JAGUARS
The Law of Gus Johnson is sweeping the nation: He's called four straight weeks of games that were genuinely exciting (Jets-Lions, Bills-Chiefs, Bengals-Falcons, Chiefs-Texans) and this battle between two David Lee teams (all offense, no defense) looks like No. 5.
I keep mentioning the Law of Gus without ever really defining it, so let's do it right now. If Gus Johnson is calling an NFL game, the odds quintuple that (A) the lead will change hands in the fourth quarter; (B) someone will complete a long pass in a big moment that will make Gus' voice hit an octave only dogs can hear; and (C) the game will go into overtime or at least come damned close. It seems impossible that the mere presence of an announcer would alter the course of the game, but here's my theory: I think God sits in his Man Cave on Sundays and says, "Which game is that Gus Johnson calling? I get a kick out of that guy. I think I'll make his game exciting and see if he completely loses his mind."

FYI - Gus is calling this weekend Bills/Bengals game.

I'm a sucker for Gus Johnson-called NCAA tournament games and NFL games.

[T-Long]

There isn't a better announcer out there. His call of Losman to Evans in that Jets game a few years back and this week's Jag's Hail Mary call were classics.

My favorite was the TD pass last season in the Broncos game.

Gus Johnson is the man.

He has his own remix tape;

His best line though was calling the Titans RB Chris Johnson's run.

"He's got getting away from the cops speed!"

[ServoBillieves]

Not a huge fan. He does the Rick J thing, where a simple pass seems like someone was decapitated on the ice or someone randomly got superpowers. Now, I'm a huge Rick fan, but Gus is a little too much for me on Sundays.

[Bangarang]

I frigging love me some Gus Johnson.

[wmoz11]

The Roscoe punt return when we opened the season against the Broncos a few years ago is still my favorite call by him.

:D

[Michael82]

Wow! Gus Johnson should call all our games! That was the best game I have watched in a long time.

[Mr. Pink]

I honestly cannot stand Gus as an announcer.

The Gus Tasker team is one of the worst announcing tandems ever in the history of football.

Tasker stumbles over half the things he says and Gus Johnson is screaming and yelling after 2 yard gains.

[methos4ever]

The Law of Gus is darn near a guarantee.

That's the last straw. I disagree with almost everything you say but I leave you on because you're usually an active part of the thread. Back on ignore with you.

You complain more than Opi.

[Oaf]

Geez.. a PENGUINS Osu fan who in my mind looks exactly like the image of the jerkoff in his avatar.

[Mr. Pink]

You complain more than Opi.


Thank you.
