Presto-digitation Posted April 26, 2016 Author Share Posted April 26, 2016 I find him to be the reality TV show villain of the sports reporting world. Personally I neither like nor need that, much like the NFL's ridiculous color rush antics. :D Just unnecessary stuff thrown in to dazzle the easily bored. I don't personally need to be "entertained" when checking in on my sports news. Just give me the latest dope and projections intelligently. No need for a dog and pony show to accompany it all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presto-digitation Posted April 26, 2016 Author Share Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) King dope on many things for sure. Led too much with his heart to be squarely critical and spat too much bile to be taken seriously. Look no further than his devotions to Tebow (out of the league), Manziel (soon to follow), Romo (good, but a walking plague), the Cowboys in general (12-4 when really it's 4-12). RG-3 (remains to be seen, but this is his final go 'round), not to mention his irrational and bitter dislike of Aaron Rodgers, Andrew Luck, etc. Edited April 26, 2016 by Presto-digitation 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laughedatbytime Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 ESPN and Bayless deserve each other. Unfortunately, the sports fan deserves better. A step in the right direction though, unless his algae covered body surfaces somewhere else. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RG-3 (remains to be seen, but this is his final go 'round), not to mention his irrational and bitter dislike of Aaron Rodgers, Andrew Luck, etc.I really can't add much to that...sums him up in a nice nutshell. First Take has been a guilty pleasure (or pain?) of mine since the "Cold Pizza" days. I enjoy the banter of the show at times, but they just rehash and beat a topic to death....it gets ridiculous... Topics... 1. Tebow (kill me 100x over)2. Deflategate (sigh...back again)3. Lebron (overdone NBA in general)4 Irrelevant Cowboys (just stop)5. Manny vs. Moneyweather (snore, boxing is dead guys and the fight sucked)6. Manning vs. Luck is Irsay nuts!7. Patriots in general , no topic too small.8. RG3 is the truth. street cred?9. Manziel should be 1st pick in draft. lmfao10. Who's hotter...Cari Champion or Molly? (oh wait, that's my topic...Cari but close). I've switched over to Colin Cowherd...I must need help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without Tirrico ..I don't see him staying beyond this yearTirico is incredibly overrated and easily replaceable. But not by Chris Berman. If they have Berman on MNF, then Gruden should run away as fast as possible. Edited May 1, 2016 by laughedatbytime 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disembodied Spirit Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 His last show was today:They tried to make the last segment emotional, but you could see the director was in their ear saying..'Wrap it up, we have Live Soccer in 18 seconds'..........so forcedSkip to FS1....with the other ESPN $$ chasers ....
