The Beadle girl is kind of cute but it still can't save this trainwreck.

Colin Cowherd was our annoying LOCAL sports anchor for years.... how he got an ESPN gig is beyond me. :thumbdown:

    Dude, I'm with you on this....I watched it for 10 minutes and decided that goign to the bathroom to take that shit I was holding was much more important.

    Plus, I'm sick to death of hearing about Tiger Woods in a TMZ fashion. :roll:

    I never in million years thought they'd find a guy who is douchier than Skip Bayless. But I guess that's why they're the world-wide leader in sports.

    I like the girl though. I like any girl with spunk who digs the NFL. But her likability doesn't nearly offset Cowherd's douchiness.

    I've only seen parts of it, and turn it off pretty quickly...

    But, I do kinda like Cowherd's radio show. I couldn't stand it for the longest time, but I find myself listening to it if I'm in the car.

    The only thing worth watching ESPN for anymore is JUST the games they broadcast.
    Other than that, pretty much everything else is worthless!

    Outside of the live games, here's what I like.

    PTI

    John Buccigross ... dude is holding it down for the NHL, ALWAYS talks about it, always references it when he's on SC ... poor guy, you know he's aching for the return of NHL 2Night

    I pretty much live on ESPN.

    I also like: Outside the Lines, Around the Horn, NFL Live, 1st and Ten, College Football Gameday.

    There have been some good documentaries on the 30 in 30 special.

    SportsNation is okay and as stated above Michelle Beadle is pretty easy on the eyes.

    1st and ten .... you mean, you willingly chose to hear Skip Bayless' voice? And even worse, his opinion?!? Oy.

    And while we're on the subject of annoying ESPN personalities, what the fuck happened to Tom Jackson?

    I used to love NFL Primetime back in the day, Bermand and Jackson riffin' about the day's events in the NFL, it was a good watch.

    Now, Berman doesn't have his fastball anymore (he's a horrible play by play guy for baseball) and his jokes are far beyond stale, but, I can still watch him do football highlights. But Tom Jackson, oh good god, he's become a crusty old man. No one on that Monday Night Countdown set can talk without Jackson in the backround audibly going "mhmm, mhmm, mhmm" to every fucking point being made. And if it's just Jackson and Berman, Jackson's "mhmms" are almost as loud as Berman talking. Also feel he tries to insert himself and make bold opinions that jsut aren't true/make zero sense. He's become my least favorite football personality on that station, except Stu Scott, there's another fucking guy I don't even want to waste energy on.

    Agree the 30 in 30 documentaries have been great - the Len Bias and Jimmy the Greek ones have been my favorites so far

    I get a laugh out of Skip's opinions. One thing is he sticks to his guns no matter how unreasonable his opinion is. Can't stand the 2 Stus as guests but the others are great, do miss Woody though.

    The girl on the show is hot, but the show is terrible overall. ESPN needs to stop trying so hard....just give us more games!
  • WobbieWobbie Posts: 29,977
    Beadle cannot save this show... hot or not. Her fawning over Cowherd is really pretty revolting.

    Don't see much of Steven A Smith anymore, but, his schtick got real tired, real fast.

    i liked Woody Paige at first, but his schtick got old fast too. he ended up just being a clown. i think they told him to tone it down and stop acting retarded.

    i cant watch anything with Berman.

    ah yes, Around the Horn ...

    Jay Mariotti ... douche.
    Bill Plashke ... douche.

    And they've been throwing Dan Shaughnessy of the Boston Globe on air every now and again ... SUPER DOUCHE!

    I hate everything about Espn besides Scott Van Pelt, Erin Andrews and the This is SportsCenter ads.

    Around the Horn is good but I think I can predict what both of them are going to say at this point.
