Another Fan Posted November 7 Share Posted November 7 Look for years the image I had of him was somebody overly obnoxious because of his speaking tones. So I understand that being a complete turnoff. I have to admit though if I actually tried to hear him out…. a lot of times his takes on things aren’t bad at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsPride12 Posted November 7 Share Posted November 7 His presentation is definitely annoying. It's amazing his show gets the ratings it does I think he has some pretty good NBA takes sometimes, I tend to agree more with his NBA takes than his NFL ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweats Posted November 7 Share Posted November 7 I like the guy......his "takes" are usually fairly spot on and he has no problem speaking his mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He knows his stuff and yeah his delivery is bad but that's what keeps him on the air. I'll take him over guys like Skip Bayless who seems to know little outside of what happened in Dallas in the 1990s or Keyshawn Johnson who is completely biased.

Augie Posted November 7 Share Posted November 7 I don’t like people screaming at me, so I never listen to this A-hole. But then, I try to avoid all of ESPN unless they have a particular game I want to see. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loyal2dagame Posted November 7 Share Posted November 7 One of the absolute most horrible things ESPN has done to sports was to put Steven A Smith and Skip Bayless together on a morning show. It entirely changed the way sports are presented, for the worse, forever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted November 7 Share Posted November 7 It all depends upon whether he's doing his "schtick" or not. When he is calm, he presents many rational thoughts. I just don't listen to any of these shows because they are all competing for air time so they're all obnoxious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when hes not doing his schtick I don't think he offers anything more than another casual fan of the league. Here's a great example. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve O Posted November 7 Share Posted November 7 Don't like him on sports, but I've seen him on Cuomo a few times and was surprised by his knowledge with politics. He and O'Reilly have entertaining exchanges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleezoid Posted November 7 Share Posted November 7 I just hate that the NFL has become a 24/7 thing. If we're not watching it, we're watching a bunch of know-it-alls talk about it. I can't do it. I watch some pre-game stuff on Sunday, and that's about it. I used to watch post-game highlights, but that's even gotten stale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a great example. The day after Tua's concussion against the Bills I thought he was very rational and made intelligent comments. He basically said that we all want Tua to retire but the reality of the money involved means there is no way Tua would not return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
