SportsFilter: The Sunday Huddle:
A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.
Maybe the producer has the fader on Talib's mic channel pegged to Carson Wentz's trade value.
Meanwhile, with six minutes and change left in the 3rd quarter, the Falcons were up 24-7 over Tom Brady and the Bucs. Then something familiar happened.

The audio has gotten better and Talib's growing into the role. I wonder if this is his first game call.

In honor of the historic meeting between Hurts and Murray, all QB's should be instructed to holler "Oklahoma" instead of "Omaha" during this week's games.
Since you can hear so much of what happens on the field in empty stadiums, I'm hoping that some QB will crank out a hearty "God damn it Donald" if/when a RB fails to pick up a blitzer in pass protection.

Talib has covered at least one game previously - given the broadcasts that I have available to me (I only get Fox over the air), I'd assume it was a Lions game a few weeks back.

Aqib Talib is doing color commentary on Cardinals/Eagles this afternoon and his audio levels are so low he can barely be heard.
