Notre Dame Football: PUT BRADY QUINN IN THE BOOTH is our battlecry

Fans of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish have pretty much had enough at this point. The NBC broadcast of Notre Dame football games has legitimately triggered thousands due to one glaring deficiency... Doug Flutie in the booth as the game analyst.

Outside of the normal complaints that he is an alum of the Boston College Eagles, like his predecessor Mike Mayock, Flutie is just terrible at what he does. There seems to be a massive disconnect from what he probably knows as a player to what he actually blurts out as an announcer. Whereas Mayock would annoyingly lock in on several things during that game that almost always felt a bit too much, Flutie is all over the map with his ridiculousness and allows his pregame perception to last over the course of an entire game — such as his love affairs with Shea Patterson of the Michigan Wolverines and Sam Darnold of the USC Trojans.
