"I promise you, there's a lot of teams around the league that are taking very close note."
Many found Davis' lack of Hurts mentions "preposterous."
"If we're going to outlaw this in the NFL then we just have to tell our defensive backs you gotta let 'em just catch it …"
"Joe Davis is a top 2 announcer in all of sports and he’s not 2."
"I can't say I've ever seen a sequence of events that culminated with an ending like that, all in one quarter, all down the stretch, maybe ever, at least in a game that I can remember."
"You hold your breath with anything special teams-related on this day."
"We're talking an all-time World Series-moment right there. That's what you dream of."
"That's Aaron Judge dropping the ball in the fifth inning of the World Series."
"Start the party, Los Angeles! Your Dodgers have won the World Series!"
"Atrocious defense from the Yankees leading directly to a Dodger run in the fifth!"
"Anybody who who tells you 'It just comes to me,' they're either brilliant or they're lying."
"Gibby meet Freddie."
"'A' for effort' is such a bad line from a good announcer. Dude is ripping at the arm of a player."
"I just think this year is the ultimate test for Joe Davis, and he's passed it so far in my opinion in flying colors."
"I’ve definitely gone back and picked it apart, probably more than is healthy."
"Watch it again and see the overhead shot while Freeman is between first and second. It’s like a movie. Matt is a genius."
""Freeman, hits a ball RIGHT FIELD. SHE ISSSS GOOOOONE! GIBBY, MEET FREDDIE! GAME 1 OF THE WORLD SERIES!"
"I'm not dead yet. But I am having a great time. I appreciate it, you guys."
A low-scoring Eagles-Saints game boosted focus on the announcers, and Greg Olsen's work there drew commendation.
Joe Davis describes witnessing and calling Shohei Ohtani's 50/50 game as one of the most enjoyable days of his broadcasting career.
Schumaker had "too much respect" to intentionally walk Ohtani ahead of his historic home run.
"One of a kind player! One of a kind season!"
