Yeah his voice definitely sounds different in movies vs on Hard Knocks. Thought it was an okay first episode. Saleh is pretty likable.
Did not expect Rodgers to greet that Panthers OL coach by calling him a little bitch and telling him he looked fat as shit lol
That coach lighting up his Oline is what a football coach is supposed to look like. If that happened in the NBA, there would be some very hurt feelings.
Rodgers is also clearly the head coach of the team. That clip with saleh asking rogers at halftime if he should give a win one for the gipper speech and rogers saying flatly no and it cuts to everyone just chatting like rogers suggested lol in fairness saleh may have said that tongue and cheek but it’s clear who’s in charge
Also once again, same as every year, the music selection is perfect. Absolutely amazing and cheers to whoever is in charge of that
I thought maybe he was calling on Carter and the others because they were somehow in on it, but I really don’t think that was the case. Not sure how they even could’ve been really.
Rodgers is a dipshit but I’m enjoying watching him on this show. He’s not as hatable when he’s just doing football shit.
A team with excellent skill talent, an over the hill QB who doesn’t move as well anymore, and a bad OL… Definitely a recipe for success.
Rodgers beside himself that other QBs don't get a free play every single offsides is on brand. The ref had to explain to Rodgers why they didn't let the play go on, he's so unaccustomed to seeing that called. Hope they call a delay of game next
Rogers is hilarious, so fucking smug. But the amount of oooh ahhh look what he did/said etc is ridiculous
Pretty well known at this point. His appearance was great, loved him paying homage to John Facenda, "the voice of G-d". Facenda was the best, Liev is in his league. there has been 20 seasons of hard knocks. One season was narrated by Paul Rudd, who is a huge fan of the Kansas City Chiefs. He did a great job too ...
I’m not sure it is well known. I’ve seen every seen every season and they never show his face. Also it does not sound like him
I figured some of it was editing, especially the first episode but yeah I was surprised I didn’t see anyone mention that in here previously. Especially from the coaches. The young dudes/rookies I kind of get it.
It was nice to see Q-ball tearing shit up. When Quinnen was at Bama our OL said blocking Q was like blocking a bar of soap.
Hmmm, ok. When I've talked to friends about Hard Knocks, most know that he's the voice of it, but they are also guys who are interested in such things. I remember loving his voice in season 1 or 2 and checking the credits back then. When Paul Rudd did the Chiefs, he sounded different as well. Lots of narrator / voice over guys sound different than they look. George Clooney has done a ton of Budweiser ads, Craig T. Nelson and Jeff Bridges are also popular as commercial VO guys.
I’m not saying he sounds different than he looks. I’m saying he sounds different from his actual voice. He even admits this during that episode when he says his own mother doesn’t recognize his voice on hard knocks
Funny story, somewhat related. Got a buddy from HS, went to Yale for drama and has had a long career as a character actor on Broadway, TV and movies (lots of Hugh Grant films). He fills his schedule and makes most of his money narrating audio books. He is not a sports fan at all and knows nothing about sports. He tells me he once did a niche book called Bracketology by a guy named Joe Lunardi and mentions that when he listens to it, he actually sounds quite knowledgeable on the subject. I start laughing hard, then I tell him that everyone who follows college hoops even a little knows Lunardi and Bracketology. He thought it was obscure and was surprised by this, which made me laugh even harder ...
I think he leans hard into his schtick when he's on Pat McAfee's show or the like. But to your point I think he's significantly less douchey on the football field.
He's not the first professional athlete to be unlikeable. I'm not playing golf with the guy any time soon, so no sweat off my sac.
it was really nice of the owner to be like "you guys are awesome so I have a surprise.....I bought myself a chain!"
