Lead announcer Mike Goldberg ham-handed his way through Sunday's Vikings-Lions broadcast on Fox, then sparred with fans on Twitter afterward.

Goldberg was scheduled to call the Vikings-Bills game this Sunday in Buffalo, but has been removed from the crew. Tim Brando will replace him. Brendon Ayanbadejo, who also worked with Goldberg for the Vikings-Lions game, remains the analyst.

Ayanbadejo was certainly no wordsmith at Sunday's game, but it's likely that Goldberg's crime, in Fox's eyes, was his unprofessional behavior on Twitter.

Goldberg is the former TV play-by-play guy for the Wild, and made his name nationally calling UFC.
