OT: Shannon Sharpe

I know this doesn't pertain to SMU, but for anyone who has seen an NFL game on CBS this year, are you baffled as to why anyone thought this guy was a good hire? What the F was CBS thinking? This guy cannot speak at all! It drives me nuts when he talks! He is impossible to understand and really is Mr. Ed. He's like the NFL equivalent of Lou Holtz on ESPN. Why do people hire them? I hate it when former players/coaches become analysts on TV.

Does this bother/annoy anyone else? or is just me?

I take it you think Troy Aikman and Darryl Johnston are bad commentators as well?

I hated them as players (don't like the Cowchips), but they are excellent announcers. Sharpe, on the other hand, is useless. His brother's OK, but Shannon is awful.

The Aikman/Buck duo is bar none the best commentating team for the nfl. I like the sunday night crew, too. CBS should not get a contract next time around unless they upgrade the production.

Am I the only person who enjoys Lou Holtz on ESPN?

It would be a pretty tight race between him, Marino, and Marino's ego. That guy is hard to stomach.

I like the Aikman-Buck combo, but most other former player/coache analysts are just annoying and [deleted]. Is there nothing else for these guys to do once they retire? Open a restaurant, or a car dealership. Start a business, work with the team, but if you sound like Shannon Sharpe, for the love of God don't hire people like Shannon Sharpe! Make sure the guy can speak first!

The worst part about the NFL on CBS is when they do halftime or post game highlights and the idiot guys are trying to do a play by play of the highlights. They sound like they're reading straight from the teleprompt. No flow to their presentation of the game. Just wait til next Sunday and watch. You'll see. It's worse with Shannon Sharpe. He just mumbles a bunch of crap.

Oh and anyone keep seeing the "Lou Holtz for Prethident" signs on College Gameday? Genius.

I always thought the two signs at college game day were great:

"Lee Corso has a baby arm."
"Lee Corso is a pen*s."

Aikman is Madden Junior. Mr. Obvious.

Apparently.

Holtz reminds me of the alcoholic uncle who shows up uninvited to reunions, weddings, funerals, etc. and constantly slurs his words, lets his dentures slip and makes absolutely no sense while talking about every subject imagineable.
