Special K Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 Tell John Madden to take the rest of the year off. I know I'm stating the obvious, but the Michaels/Collinsworth combo is much easier to listen to...even though the game is a real stinker.
sweetbaboo Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 i like that the girl doing the piggyback riding is hanging on to the silicone knobbers for support
mrjsbu96 Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 to any network that employs Keith Olberman......F THEM!
Max Fischer Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 to any network that employs Keith Olberman......F THEM! Hate much? It's football.
BuffOrange Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 I like most of the NBC guys. However I can't think of anything in the world I care less about than what Tikki Barber thinks.
colin Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 i want to kick oberman and that other toad in the fkcning face and smash barber and costas in the step children with a hammer.

Someone needs to put their politics aside. How anybody can dislike Oberman when he does the highlights I have no idea. I'd say the guy is the best in the buisness at highlights - just like he was 10 years ago with Patrick. I don't remember anybody bitching about Oberman back then, but now that they know his politics suddenly people hate the guy.
Tcali Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 Hate much? It's football. Yeah but you can make exceptions for the Pol Pots,The Hitlers,the Stalins,and the Olbermans.

I don't remember anybody bitching about Oberman back then, but now that they know his politics suddenly people hate the guy. 10 years ago, it wasn't an issue. He made a remark 2 weeks ago when Trent was knocked out...something to the effect of Trent being dazed and saying "I can see Russia from here," an obvious Sarah Palin reference. He has a right to put his ideological filter on his news coverage and analysis...people know what they're getting when they tune into Countdown on MSNBC. But once he started forcing them into a sports broadcast, I lost a bit of respect for him....I don't want him forcing his views into sports coverage any more than I want Al Michaels giving a conservative perspective or any more than i wanted Rush Limbaugh wasting my time on NFL countdown.
The Dean Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 Yeah but you can make exceptions for the Pol Pots,The Hitlers,the Stalins,and the Olbermans.
IQ Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 Keith Olberman has some of the most solid and lucid political takes on TV. Hating on his sports reporting because of his politics? That classifies one as an idiot (and probably redneck, pro-war Palin supporting fool). Oh, great game BTW. If we go 2-1 over the next three, talk switches to SB, not just playoffs. What a year. Anyone know where video of the game will be availabe (if at all?). I haven't missed watching a down since 1987 when I was 13 yrs old and it just feels wrong. I can't relate to any of the stats because I only got to see about 45% of the game. Talk about frustration!

When did this thread become about Kenny Mayne?
deep2evans Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 wow, what is all this best in the business talk? Olberman is as obnoxious and unlistenable as they get..
PromoTheRobot Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 Take it easy on the conservatives. Their Jedi mind tricks aren't working anymore and they are in the freaking out that Obama is going to win. They are just lashing out at anyone and anything. PTR
Mark Vader Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 It's true that Olberman is an obnoxious ass, but he does an ok job on the highlights. I just wish he would just call the highlights and stop trying to be funny during the highlights. Of course I wish all the sports broadcasters would drop the stupid jokes and just deliver the news. Although I do love Chris Berman when he does the highlights, but he's more fun and not trying to go out of his way to make a punchline. Also he's a real football fan. Oh how I miss the old days of NFL Primetime. I like the highlight show on NFL Network, they do a great job of showing the highlights. But Rich Eisen is no Chris Berman, and NFL Network does not have the awesome NFL Primetime music, that ESPN still plays during the Berman highlights on SportsCenter.
SectionC3 Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 Yeah but you can make exceptions for the Pol Pots,The Hitlers,the Stalins,and the Olbermans. You forgot George W. Bush in that list. I'll stop the politics here, but to me, peering under a banquet table in joking search of chemical weapons is not a laughing matter when that "joke" cost 4,000 American lives.
ExWNYer Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 I like most of the NBC guys. However I can't think of anything in the world I care less about than what Tikki Barber thinks. ...Marshall Faulk thinks. Before the game, Faulk picked against the Bills again (surprise, surprise) and his reasoning was "their quarterback thinks he's Batman." Great analysis, dumbass. Yeah, that concussion caused Trent Edwards to misfire on a whole five of thirty passes. Why the fug these networks continue to hire ex-jocks who can't formulate an analysis and back it up with sound reasoning is beyond me. You want to pick against the Bills? Fine by me. But lay it out for me with a well-thought response...not a flippant, childish remark with absolutely no basis. Ugh.
Wacka Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 Olberman has been an a-hole since he was at ESPN. When he left, he said "The best thing about ESPN was seeing Bristol in the rear view mirror." I lived about 1500 feet from ESPN for several years. It is your average suburb. Olberman can't drive because he has no depth perception and couldn't stand Bristol, CT, because, like any suburb, it isn't much fun if you can't drive. When he left, he acted like he was better than everybody else there. I haven't liked him since he left ESPN, long before he started spouting his political bile.
