If Dan Dierdorf could beam himself into the press boxes of NFL stadiums around the country, he might keep calling games a few more decades. But with two artificial knees, two artificial hips and a bad back, the travel required by his analyst job for CBS just became too much.

DierDORK was one hell of a player,but as crapty of an announcer you could ever ask for,especially on mnf.
and that is scraping the bottom of the barrell! and to his credit,hollingsworth is right there with both of them,as it phil sims!
My favorite Dierdorf moment was a long long long time ago (I hope it was really him), when New England made the Superbowl with Bill Parcells as coach. They were showing a bunch of things before the game, and the camera was on Bill Parcells, he had a pretty serious look on his face. Then Dierdorf spoke "If only a face could talk" my stepfather and I looked at each other like "did he just say that?" We were shocked none of the other announcers said anything about it. It was funny as crap.
