Quite Frankly

Recommended Posts

I guess ESPN figured they weren't quite at blowhard critical mass and could afford to get that much closer. I'm already getting annoyed by the promos for this show. "Quite frankly, that's all you need" is at about 0.6 Everest at this point, and rising.

The good news is that it will get a few viewers at first and then drop hard after people see how bad it is and get cancelled with a quickness.

 

I assumed the same thing about Rome is Burning but that's still on, so I'm not getting my hopes up on this pile of crap getting cancelled fast.

you know who needs his own show?  Woody Paige...I could watch him fucking around and acting stupid for a half hour everyday...

 

Screw that, we need a Bill Walton show ASAP. It doesn't even have to be about sports, just a running commentary on anything he observes. I don't think I'd be able to turn away.

Stephen A. Smith's show isn't even on primetime. It's on ESPN2 with Poker, Dog sports, softball, Rockies/Pirates games and other stuff nobody really cares about.

The difference being that Jim Rome has a HUGE fan base from his radio show that probably watch every day (or whenever it's on, I don't watch it).

 

Also Rome has built up a rep on talking general sports

 

All the general public (except those listening to his radio show 12-2 on 1050am ESPN Radio in New York) knows about Steven A. Smith is that he's an NBA analyst

Oh man. I don't think I'd be able to handle it. Does Bill have a blog? That might be the next best thing.

The most horrible thing ever would be a Smith/Bayless show though. I've seen the Old School/New School segments and remember them doing PTI last year, and lord did they suck. They shouldn't have two guys who are both annoying blowhards....1st and 10 works better simply because Bayless' boorish act is countered by Woody.

A lot of my animosity for Paige stems from living in CO as a Pats fan when he was writing for the Post, just pissing on them for losing to the Donkeys each year ... but a lot of my animosity towards Paige stems from the fact that I consider him an idiot. Man, Lushus, we disagree BIG time on this.

Some of my animosity for you stems from the fact you don't like Woody Paige...

You know, if they're going to have these guest hosts on PTI why not to Mariotti/Woody? Thus, Paige can still do his Cold Pizza and 1st and 10 stuff on a monitor (like Buster Olney has done of late with Bayless) and then host PTI with Mariotti.

 

It'd be nirvana for all the Woody Paige marks out there.
