I think all the discussion about the lack of real football content among announcers as it currently exists is valid. But you have to understand the audience that they are trying to reach. This is for "normal" sports fans, who are honestly, believe it or not, a HELL of a lot dumber than the people who post here. I think we sometimes forget how stupid people out in the world actually are. All they understand is how fast or how strong someone is. They don't understand the levels of the game, the nuances, the purposes of simple things like putting a man in motion. Furthermore, most of the public is no where NEAR Ray Lewis' level of intelligence. He was speaking above most of America's head. He would be a great announcer (objectively), but not be a SUCCESSFUL one, simply because the public can't handle a black guy being that much smarter than them.
