TheWynn 0 Posted October 23, 2009 Author Share Posted October 23, 2009 Not sure why he hasn't been mentioned (maybe he has), but I absolutely can't stand Stephen A. Smith. Everything that comes out of his mouth.......it's because of race. This tilts the hell out of me.Wow, I can't believe this hasn't been mentioned either. I can't stand him because he is always yelling & well, a know it all.What do you guys think about the two brothers (Doug & Ryan Stewart) that are sometimes on with Skip Bayless on that show 1st and 10. I think they are also on Sporting News radio, called 2 Live Stews. These guys are as annoying as anything. They feel that whatever they say regarding anything is the "end all be all" and is 100% correct and there is no other opinion that is worth a sh*t. Plus they yell their opinions at whomever is opposing them with a differing viewpoint, 90% percent of the time is Skip Bayless. I think Skip takes the opposite side of topics than these idiots just to see them get upset, blather, and yell. Link to post Share on other sites

BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 I know I'm in the minority ( so to speak ) But I love Stephen A smith. Not really so much what he says, but the way he says it. He talks like a preacher or something, and I just love the cadence and rhythm of his speech, even though he often isn't saying much and uses a lot of words incorrectly and superfluous phrases to make himself seem more intelligent. It cracks me up. He's way more entertaining than most talking heads. Link to post Share on other sites

BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I don't think I've ever been so tilted by analyst talk, as I am after this Pat-Colts game. Like, I physically can't handle listening to the retardation of guys like Dilfer, and their results based analysis. If you want to critize belichick based on probablities, if you can provide an argument that says their 4 and 2 success rate isn't high enough, or something like that, that's one thing. But listening to Dilfer say shit like " You're sending a message to your defense that you don't trust them " tilts me to no ****ing end. I don't think there's ever been a better litmus test for me hating an analyst, than their reaction to belichick going for it. Link to post Share on other sites
DrawingDeadInDM 0 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Scoop Jackson when asked if he agreed with Jack Del Rio's call to have MJD take a knee.. "It worked, so it was a good call.""He was using clock management against them."I was literally speechless. I still don't really know what the second line means and he said it multiple times and each time was more impassioned than the previous. I've read a little bit of his stuff on Page 2 and been pretty indifferent about him but I really felt like throwing a shoe through the 52 inch after listening to that.

I am looking forward to reading TMQ tomorrow because he's long been an extreme go for it on 4th down proponent, but he's also been extremely anti-Belichick, so it should be interesting to read his take.I might skip PTI too because I love those guys and I have a feeling they're going to come out way against it.

BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I didn't think I would ever say this, but Bill Simmons is on my hated list right now. His article today was such an impassioned defense of ignorance that it has me tilted into the ground. I can't STAND listening to him talk about this 4th and 2 issue anymore, I just can't. Of all the people in sports, of all the crappy analysts that have been tilting me, I didn't think it was Simmons that was going to write the ignorance manifesto. I ordered the book of basketball from amazon a few days ago, and I'm seriously considering sending it back. Like no joke. Link to post Share on other sites

TheWynn 0 Posted November 27, 2009 Author Share Posted November 27, 2009 While I was watching the Lions Thanksgiving day game, Joe Buck and Troy Aikman were talking about who should get the Annual Turkey Trophy for games most outstanding player. The camera was inside the booth recording their conversation, Joe said something (I can't recall what) and Aikman just gave him this look as though he wanted to crush his skull with the trophy. I wish I could find this clip somewhere.While listening to the broadcast it seems to me that Aikman doesn't really enjoy working with that "dry, boring, and pompous" a hole Joe Buck. I've said it before, but I can't stand that guy. Link to post Share on other sites

I've said it before, but I can't stand that guy.I'm watching the 1997 MLB All-Star Game on MLB Network right now, and wouldnt you fuckin know it, but Joe Buck is doing a good job. He talked a lot faster back then, which is one of my least favorite things about him now. He talks so slow now, which makes his voice that much more drawn out, monotone and boring. And he actually is getting excited!! Tino Martinez hit a shot deep down the line that ended up foul, but Joe actually raised his voice and may have lept out of his seat! Where has this Joe Buck gone??? Link to post Share on other sites

JoeyJoJo 18 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Speedz posted a long time ago that if you have surround sound, you can just unplug the middle speaker while watching a game and you will get all the sounds of the game without the announcers. I thought this was the greatest thing ever and yet I am so lazy I never actually tried it.If this really does work just like it says, would you do it? Or is listening to awful announcing and making fun of it part of the enjoyment of the game? Link to post Share on other sites

brvheart 1,752 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 When he was the side kick to tony bruno on fox radio, I kinda liked him.. that was a decent show. But solo he was garbage.The old Tony Bruno show was so awesome. It's terrible that Fox couldn't reach a deal with him. I've listened to his new show a few times, but it just doesn't have a the same 'it factor' as the old show.I know I'm in the minority ( so to speak ) But I love Stephen A smith. Not really so much what he says, but the way he says it.

But I'm not returning the BoB.Le Batard said that he was surprised by Simmons also, but he just thinks it's that he is such a fan that he is letting his emotions get in the way. Le Batard also thinks that this is going to be a thing where in the future people will be going for it on 4th down most of the time and we will look back at that play as the turning point of that decision.Also, thank you guys for turning me onto him. I listened to him for almost 9 hours today. When stugatz blew up on MC Hammer on September 2nd, it was incredible.Re, Simmons:My least favorite sport in the whole world has to be Soccer, but NBA basketball is a very close 2nd. I simply couldn't care less about the topic and have even less interest in reading the book (especially since it has like 800 pages). Let me know if you think I should get past all that and read it.When Flacco threw an interception in the packer's endzone, after rolling right, and throwing across the field, Tirico screamed, as he was doing the play by play " Oh, that was AWFUL". It made me laugh.I love that. Link to post Share on other sites
