Sports fans have continued to hear Johnson’s passion and fervor on college broadcasts in recent years, but this was his first NFL game since 2010. No sportscaster surpasses Johnson’s ability to ramp up the energy level of a broadcast.
It was a wild finish that gave Johnson the perfect chance to remind NFL fans why he’s one of the most beloved announcers in sports. “UNBELIEVABLE! AND THE CARDINALS SURVIVE! 34-33! YOU’RE WATCHING THE NFL, FOLKS!”Īnd with that, K irk Cousins’ Vikings drop to 0-2 on the season.
FOR THE WIN! OHHHHHH MY GOODNESS, HE MISSED IT!” Johnson screamed, mixing in some shrieks and other sounds that are hard to transcribe. But during his first opportunity to ingratiate himself with Vikings fans, Joseph’s kick sailed wide right. Minnesota Vikings kicker Greg Joseph lined up for a 37-yard field goal with the chance to top the Arizona Cardinals and give his team their first win of the 2021 season on Sunday. Known for his unmatched enthusiasm, the iconic sports announcer was given a wild finish to call during his first NFL broadcast in more than a decade. Martin Tyler remains a possibility, but there are also plenty of other people who are just as talented and available.Gus Johnson is back in the NFL and football fans are better off because of it. The question for FOX Sports is who they’ll hire to replace Gus Johnson as the lead soccer announcer for FOX Sports. She is the one who gave me my love for sports and communications.” My mother was the most important person in my life. I think I’m still in the process of healing.

In addition to being an example of the power of soccer blogs and social media where our voices will be heard, it’s evidence that soccer fans place a high priority on quality. Why? It’s a sign that we’re not willing to accept mediocrity and that the role of a soccer commentator is an integral part to the televised game. The decision by Johnson to quit his role as lead soccer announcer is a victory for soccer fans. At the same time, the same sources close revealed that Johnson was becoming more and more disillusioned in the position, and was considering how much of an impact the negative press was having on his career as a sports broadcaster. Sources close to FOX Sports revealed to World Soccer Talk that executives at FOX Sports were privately questioning for a while whether they should continue with Johnson. By quitting his role as the lead soccer commentator, Johnson’s decision has put an end to the “Gus Johnson Effect” (which was more of a Gus Johnson Experiment), reinforcing the fact that FOX Sports President Eric Shanks made a poor decision in hiring Johnson and throwing him in the deep end in 2013 to learn the game and the art of soccer commentating.
