I think sportcasters have to have something to say about everybody. NFL players are kings for the day when they play well and in the dog house the next game when they don't. Many sportscasters, being former players, often seem to have forgotten what they went through on the field. They make comments that are sometimes perceived as indicating that they are now better than the NFL players that are currently still playing the game.

Perhaps the lofty positions of the broadcast booths have made them so dizzy that they have forgotten, and they revel in the ivory tower that they now sit in from week to week. I think that's a sad state of affairs.
