Dierdorff's broadcasts are the same every week.
He goes into the game determined to talk up the team with the better record, scold the team that's inferior, talk down to rookies and praise veterans who have "been to more than than one rodeo." And the quote unquote stars? He will go out of his way to blather on and on about them.
It's OK to brag about the better team and the big-name players, but sometimes the games don't play out like that and you need to change the script.
And another thing: enough with the hyperbole. Every week Dan talks about such and such being the best he has seen in a long time or that was the greatest play he's seen in a good long while. But he said the same things the week before.
There are many bad analysts out there, but him in football and Joe Morgan in baseball really annoy me with their preset agendas they are determined to carry out through the entire broadcast.
