X2. cannot listen to him

I do like Colin Cowherd in the AM. his voice is grindy but his views are usually spot on.

I've never heard S A Smith quiet for that long in his life. I grew up in Dallas where he got his start and pretty much everyone down there hates him. He called himself the Howard Cossell of his generation LOL

Yeah I like Cowherd on the radio too. Hes sorta like Jim Rome, both professional radio guys who usually has a good take on things if you can tolerate the attitude.

bayless makes him look like a genius by comparison.

i liked cowherd better when he was in portland. his ego is getting the better of him.. he also does a lot better when he sticks to sports instead of opining about politics and socioeconomic shit.

I guess you could say that about a lot of people.

I'm just going to preemptively say that Chris Berman is going to make watching the Home Run Derby on Monday unbearable with the sound on.

ESPN is trying to ruin watching Tennis Majors for us aren't they?

The NFL network tonight [that happens to be named ESPN] choked down a 45 second piece on Andy Roddick announcing his retirement.

They did get one thing right though:

They named Brooklyn Decker as his final, grand achievement.

How about the $8 or so dollars it adds to my cable bill every month.
It should be a premium channel.

It's a fucking disgrace.

This morning's coverage of 2 of the best matches all tourney consisted of a total of 3 shots, followed by a 10 min fluff piece with Amare Stoudemire shooting hoops while talking about his injured hand, Jeremy Lin, and working with Hakeem.

I get angry every time I watch.

**Bobby Finstock** · 09-07-2012, 01:02 PM

Yes ESPN sucks, but this made me LOL a little bit.

They spent a good amount of time talking about this during sportscenter today too.

**stompinlines** · 09-07-2012, 02:08 PM

Shouldve been in lord of the rings.
Startling.

Sportscenter spent more time covering the Giants-Bucs last minute "controversy" than they did covering any one of the actual games. What a fucking joke.

Just another layer to my onion.

Anyone notice Chucky spent approximately 40 minutes during MNF complaining about the scab refs? It's not like there were other big stories going on at the time like, say, their golden boy Peyton throwing 3 picks in the first quarter...

Yeah, we get it, they're replacement refs and they're getting adjusted. If they took too long to make a call Chucky bitched, too little deliberation Chucky bitched, Atlanta scored Chucky bitched...
