and i hate all the studio shows, regardless of network. they all blow. espn, cbs, abc, fox, nbc...fuck em all. i hate pregame, halftime and postgame shows. hate em all.
How do you feel about pregame shows?
I really liked the NFL Today in the 80s when it was 30 minutes. It seemed like 1:00 took so long to arrive back then. I don't watch any of them now. I usually DVR the 1:00 game and start watching around 2.

one hour is plenty... plus the talking heads make it painful to watch. Fox's guys are nothing but cartoons in the studio now. ESPN has all these bad ex players. the entire cbs crew blows. can't stand costas and the old espn guy on nbc. they hype the shit of stuff and do all these stupid little side skits.
i don't even turn shit on until 5 after the hour. if it's a championship game, i wait until 15 pass the hour.
i don't need your over payed talking heads to tell me shit i already know.
I know he's not an announcer but Shannon Sharpe on the pre-game show sounds like he has marbles in his mouth. Just awful. He was a great player, leave it at that.
the list of terrible in-studio guys is long, indeed....and sharpe is definitely on it.
Sharpe sounds like the one character on Fat Albert that can only say Dabba Deeba Dabba.
I don't know how anyone can dislike collinsworth and michaels. They are tremendous. Collinsworth gives the best insight of any NFL analyst IMO. He is always well prepared to talk about the game he's doing. And I love the fact that he will call players out when they screw up.
Actually I think most of the big name NFL announcers are decent. I like buck, michaels, tirico, nantz as play by play guys. I really liked bob papa on NFL network, but I think he's gone this year, which is a shame. I guess he's stuck doing Ginas games on the radio now.
The analysts that annoy me are siragusa, dierdorf, and tim ryan. As bad as the NFL product has become, the annoucers are one thing that's good about the league. MLB is the opposite where the on field product is good and most of the annoucers suck (luckily vin scully is back for another year :thumbup: )

always painful to listen to someone who has to try so hard to form intelligible thoughts.

He used to be great, but yeah... he seems to have trouble keeping things in check these days.

I'd like to add Chris Berman and Chris Carter to the list of shitty pre/post game analysts. Berman had it once upon a time, but his schtick is long past due for an overhaul. "THEEEEEEEE RAAAAAAIIDAS!!!" Godamnit, just shut the fuck up and get over yourself.
Carter....I'd like to kick him in the sack anytime anybody says "Come on man!" He's not as bad when he's on Mike & Mike since he has to spread it out over 4 hours.
Ahh not sure how I forgot about that bunghole. Chris Carter is the absolute WORST.

absolutely no need to add strahan to the mix.
do they still have a hot weather girl?
she was/is the only reason it would even be worth flipping thru
i don't know, i've not watched any of these shows for more than a minute or two in the last couple of years.
jillian something...always dressed like a whore
maybe you'd be better than 0-2 in fantasy if you did watch?
funny guy.
i'm doing aweful in this league...
but in my other two money leagues i'm 2-0 in both. Both have pretty solid looking squads.
jillian barberie who was married (belive they are divorced now) to that famous ex-Montreal Expos utility player Bret Barberie.
Shouldn't it be rat fuck?

OK, so sharpe is Mush-mouth. hahahaha. classic

Lou holtz is Sylvester. He's brutal
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkhPuH8G5Hg
and as someone else said, colinsworth does a good job, but his voice is lacking.
I would call it condescending, like he is talking down to the rest of the world, we are not worthy.
Mush-mouth!!! hahaha! hey-buh man-buh!!

I don't mind them. I think it's kinda funny that they take the games so seriously
Nantz is such a drama queen. it's funny in an unintentional kind of way
miss him doing nfl games...
