razazteca 0 Report post Posted April 26, 2004 Best: Woody Paige, Jay Mariatti, Max Kellerman, and a serious reporter like Dick Shrapp. Worst: Stephen A Smith, Michael Irvin, Deon Sanders, Chris Rose. EITHER TALK TOO LOUD OR ARE CLUELESS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mik 0 Report post Posted April 26, 2004 Is Stephen A. Smith not the WORST sports commentator in the history of any sport? He's so bad, I can't even believe he's hired. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
razazteca 0 Report post Posted April 26, 2004 Talking above the other commentators with all of the Laker love in a heel persona is really bad. Micheal Irvin did not help himself during the football draft with all the jibberish he was saying. Did the Jim Rome show get cancelled for good this time? His discussion group was ok but nobody watched or cared. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jorge Gorgeous 0 Report post Posted April 26, 2004 Stephen A. Smith reminds me of that Hooper X character from Chasing Amy. I KNOW when he gets off the air hes all soft spoken and feminine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

razazteca 0 Report post Posted April 26, 2004 Paige vs Mariotti is what makes Around the Horn good just add a token black guy and a smart reporter and the show would be perfect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NYU 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2004 Bad: Steve Somers Bah, Steve Somers is the best sports host on WFAN. He doesn't take himself seriously, he actually adds some HUMOR to his broadcasts, and he lets the callers do the speaking instead of constantly interrupting them. Which is the exact opposite of Mike Francesca and Christopher Russo. I really can't stand either one of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2004 Like the egomaniac Costas would share the spotlight with 3 other people. I'd prefer each sport having a special panel, with experts in that sport. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Redhawk Report post Posted April 27, 2004 Is Chris Rose the host of the Best Damn Sports Show? Cause I know that guy is REALLY annoying. My nightmare host would be Chris Connelly (sic?). He had a show on ESPN a couple years back, but I can't remember what it was called. He used to be an MTV News guy, so he was always trying way too hard to be "down" and "hip." He's like a White Stuart Scott. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
