Deleteon the call for Bucs Lions will be Adam Amin Mark Schlereth Lindsay Czarniak
ReplyDeleteWeek 16 Buccaneers-Lions announcers: Adam Amin, Mark Schlereth, Lindsay Czarniak
ReplyDeleteI JUST saw the CBS page and was surprised to see CBS had Spero Dedes and Adam Archuleta calling a week 16 game with just five crews. I figured, "Oh wow, they get to have a game this week and they are putting them above Catalon and Lofton this week." Then I figured, "What if there is an off-chance scenario they are using Catalon and Lofton for the Amazon Prime game?" Sure enough there they are.
ReplyDeleteMike Tirico will fill in for Al Michaels on Sunday for Browns-Giants and Joe Davis will replace Tirico for tomorrow's Panthers-Packers game.
ReplyDeleteDavis will also call Dolphins-Raiders in Week 16
ReplyDeleteJoe Davis will be filling in for Mike Tirico
ReplyDelete@FakeRudyMartzke confirms Joe Davis will call the two Saturday night games with Kurt Warner and Mellisa Stark, because of Mike Tirico being put to Sunday Night duty Weeks 15 and 16.
