TVFactFan 09-09-2009, 10:35 PM NFL Network Postgame is much better
CBS Pregame Stinks because of Shannon Sharpe
FOX Pregame Show stinks because of Curt Menefee
ESPN Pregame is the BEST
Wreckless 09-09-2009, 10:43 PM Solomon, who are your fav. 3 announcers/analyists, out of all the stations, pregame, maybe they announce the game, or post game? Just curious.

I agree 100%! Why Shannon "Marble Mouth" Sharpe is in broadcasting is beyond me.

Announcers-Kevin Harlan-CBS, Dick Stockton-FOX,
AL Michaels-NBC
Analysts-Tom Jackson-ESPN, Cris Carter-ESPN
Wreckless 09-09-2009, 10:48 PM They all bring different personalities. Ditka was a coach. Berman is himself, and is the head guy/MC. Cris Carter & Keyshaun played in the league, Tom is just an interesting opinion.
I'm referring to the ESPN Sunday Morning Pre-Game show analysts.

I agree with you 100%. I would have to say the same for me. It was time for Madden to go to lol. Not that I hated him, but it was time.

I don't mind Ditka, really. Chris Berman has every f*cking nickname in the book lol. He sounds like a Mumble Mouth sometimes too lol.
Wreckless 09-09-2009, 10:52 PM I believe Terry Bradshaw is retiring after this year.
Who is replacing him Brian, I'm curious? They probably haven't figured that out yet. Gotta focus on this upcoming season first lol.
TVFactFan 09-09-2009, 10:58 PM I believe Terry Bradshaw is retiring after this year.
For some reason he was better with Greg Gumbel. Maybe it was because in those days it was just him and one other person.
Today it's him and 3 other people-lol
Same thing with Berman, in the ole days it was just him, TJ, and Robin Roberts

Yeah, sometimes too many people is not a good thing.
The Rundown of the Day is just with TJ & Berman though..
TVFactFan 09-09-2009, 11:15 PM Yeah, sometimes too many people is not a good thing.
The Rundown of the Day is just with TJ & Berman though..
I wouldn't going out and having a beer with TJ-lol That's my dog
Wreckless 09-09-2009, 11:38 PM I wouldn't going out and having a beer with TJ-lol That's my dog
why wouldn't you, if you like him so much? lol.
TVFactFan 09-09-2009, 11:41 PM why wouldn't you, if you like him so much? lol.
I meant to say I wouldn't mind-lol
Wreckless 09-09-2009, 11:45 PM I meant to say I wouldn't mind-lol
oh yeah- lol. he seems like a chill, laid back person. and that's how he is on the show.
I agree 100%! Why Shannon "Marble Mouth" Sharpe is in broadcasting is beyond me.
I agree 150% about Shannon Sharpe. I absolutely hate it when networks hire ex-players to be studio or even sometimes, game analysis despite their inabiliity to properly articulate. There's more than simply being a big name. It's not just Shannon Sharpe, it's O.J. Simpson when he was doing Monday Night Football and later, NFL games for NBC, its Magic Johnson when he was calling NBA games on NBC, its Tim Hardaway when he was in the NBA studio for ESPN, and more recently, it has been Emmitt Smith on ESPN.
In fairness, Charles Barkley doesn't necessarily sound like a Rhodes Scholar himself. Dizzy Dean, when he used to do play-by-play for baseball games on CBS and ABC back in the 1950s and '60s also wasn't necessarily a master of the English language. But they had some weird, brash vibe and energy around them, in which they actually enhanced the broadcasts rather than dragging them down.
