Dan Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 But it's driving me nuts. Is he really this dumb or does he do it on purpose just to give the other guys something to say? He thinks Philly is a joke because they tied Cinci this year. So, no matter what they do since then, Philly is undeserving. Sproles is no good because he's too small. What was he doing last weekend? And on... Sorry. Just had to vent a little. But, he's just so dumb it's pissing me off and about to make me turn on the horrid Fox pregame.

Rico Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 He needs a thorough B word-slapping. Easily the worst I've seen/heard in a long time, even Emmitt & Steve ZZZZZZZZZZZZ Young are great in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your pregame will undoubtedly be more enjoyable if you turn off the TV and put on some tunes until about 1:01PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And on... Sorry. Just had to vent a little. But, he's just so dumb it's pissing me off and about to make me turn on the horrid Fox pregame. And the Giants are less of a joke after getting blown out by Cleveland during the regular season? You should vent. These ex-athletes and coaches are mostly pathetic as announcers, hosts and commentators. Trent Dilfer is really great at stating the obvious with passion. Marino, Sharpe & Cowher have yet to get through a game highlight between them without screwing up names and scores and anything else they try to describe. They must get paid per "uh, um and I-mean". Jimmy Johnson has not had one original thought about any team, game or player since he's been on Fox. Terry Bradshaw is at least sometimes funny. Howie Long is on the most part intelligent. Keyshawn Johnson is at least honest and says what he feels. There are really only two ex-athletes that I feel have become elite announcers: Tom Jackson and Boomer Esiason. And the very worst announcer is ironically the very best ex-athlete of them all: Emmit Smith. I cringe when Emmit speaks from the panel on Monday Night Football. He should have just stuck with dancing and the satisfaction of finishing his career as the all time leading rusher in history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 Your pregame will undoubtedly be more enjoyable if you turn off the TV and put on some tunes until about 1:01PM. Pretty much what I did. Let the wife put on E! and I did a few things. I feel better. I take that back, it's not that he's the worst (though he's sure not good), but the most annoying... that's why he needs to be slapped hard. Definitely annoying. Obviously, I was watching with the pregame on but only partially paying attention as I read the posts here (so obviously I don't mind dumb comments ). But every time you look up there's this idiot just talking as though he knows something when it's so clearly obvious he doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never understood a word that's come out of his mouth. Aikman is actually a good announcer, I'll add (IMO). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffOrange Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I really enjoy listening to Steve Young talk football. To each his own I guess. Me too. Carter I don't like as much; but lumping either of them in with Emmitt Smith (who is the biggest epic failure of an analyst ever) - WTF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That speech would set a record for most hot air... I really hope he has to wait a little longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope he has to wait a little longer. God, I definitely won't watch that. But, on that, I hear people suggest Reed doesn't get in because stats alone don't tell the whole story - i.e. he wasn't a game changer. OK. But, when did Carter ever change any games? Sure he caught touchdowns in regular season games, but I don't recall him doing much at all in the Super Bowl. Maybe I'm just wrong in my recollection.

No QB - No Bueno Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I used to like Sterling Sharpe. Clear, intelligible. I don't know why he was dumped. Shannon is amusing, but a cat dropped a load on his tongue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWings Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 There are a NUMBER of TERRIBLE former player analysts on TV including but not limited to Chris Carter, Marshal Faulk, Emmit Smith..........on & on Which goes to show that you can be a great, HOF-caliber football player, but terrible with a mic in front of a camera. Apparently, all you need to be is a high-profile player or an ex-player with a wild personality to get a job like that. Of the ex-players currently broadcasting, IMO, Aikman is easily the best of them with Daryl Johnston not far behind. I'd probably put Ron Jaworski in that list, also.

Max997 Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 i dont know why these pre-game shows feel the need to have 27 different people on their shows Chris Carter, Stephen A Smith and Erckel...triplets separated at birth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
