I agree. Routinely calls the play before it happens and does serious research the week before. He knows his shite.

He was being sarcastic because he doesn't make close to that much money.

I thought he was joking.

But where he did screw up was just before kickoff where he commented how their female sideline reporter ran across the field like she was running the mile Michigan.

To those of you who don't know, they used to have a one-mile naked run on campus. It was during winter so everyone ran it as fast as they could.

His coanchor immediately said, "uh, let's not go there"

I liked Vern's comments... something like "I didn't realize you were doing so well..."

Danielson can come off as a little smug sometimes, but he can break down the X's and O's in game better than anyone.

As far as the comment, I thought it sounded pretty clear that he was joking that Les was a lot more qualified to make the decision than he was...

when it comes to breaking down the game in real-time, the man is incredible.


Yeah, he's great. People on here dislike him because they perceive every little comment that isn't 100% positive as an insult to LSU

Yeaqh, I like Danielson.

VL is losing it. When they shows the UF starters on D, he said "Jaylen Watkins is the guy filling in for Tyrann Matieu"... WHAT?

I took it as him joking about there's a reason why Les makes so much more money than him.

Of all of the ignorant post types on this forum, this type is the worst. Those announcers do not give a flying frick about who wins the game. They comment on what they see. End of story. Kinda hard to be up the LSU offense's arse, don't ya think?

so he said well I make the same amount of money as Miles.




Don't think that's true.

You should have be able to do more than waive SEC Pom-Poms and be wrong on replays to make millions of dollars.

Yeah, and I'd love to see who people that disagree with this think is a good announcer.

I love how he can tell you why a play failed or succeeded before seeing the replay. It's like he actually PAYS attention to what's going on on the field.

I don't remember that, but the fact that he spent the entire game trying to guess what was about to happen, and then either patting himself on that back when right or playing it off when wrong got annoying very quickly.

he said what they should do and miles elected to do something else and he said it as like, "well what do i know.. im not the one making millions"


That is very much not what he said. This is what he SHOULD have said.

While he may have been trying to come across as sarcastic, he said that he makes the same amount as Les in a serious tone. I don't think he meant for it to come off as arrogant but he should have used a different tone and choice of words. It was very awkward.

I was enraged when he said it. I've already written my open letter and plan to mail it today. CBS should fire him for using humor.
