^^^^^^thisI think Timmerman's issue is his trying too hard to sound objective. I don't think he realizes no one expects him to. He is a Bison announcer for the Bison broadcast of a Bison game. He doesn't have to go full homer, but he doesn't have to go out of his way to not sound like a homer. The couple of plays that stuck out was the PI call where it wasn't as obvious as he made it out to be. There wasn't an angle that showed the backside of the play, so I can't say with certainty it was a great call, but Timmerman could. The Frazier fumble was not that immediately apparent to be an obvious fumble. I wanted to see the replay to see if his knee touched first. I would have no matter who fumbled the ball because he was on his way down. There was an incomplete pass to Shepherd that really could have been called of been called a catch and the replay wouldn't have overturned that call either, but Timmerman's initial reaction was it was clearly incomplete.
My point is it while it was easier to focus on when he was talking about Bison plays, he jumps in very quickly to offer his judgement where he thinks it is for the viewer's benefit and people watching can clearly see the result was not so obvious. It becomes annoying. I was asking myself if he is watching the same game. He doesn't have to go out of his way to make sure he sounds objective, he just has to talk about the game as if he is watching the same game as the viewer.
