Just John 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2006 I know it was pointed out in the Week 6 NFL thread, but it bears repeating. "Hollywood" Matt Leinart. You can't help but cheer for him. In general, the MNF announce crew is terrible. Makes me want the SNF guys back. They may have been shitty and verbally blown too many players, but at least they had chemistry. This current team reminds me of the Raw Styles/Lawler/Coach team. Kornheiser and Theismann banter about nothing and are generally annoying, and Tirico just jumps in with play call during the rare moments both of them shut up.

Guest Felonies! Report post Posted October 19, 2006 Not ESPN ranting, this is local: I've never been known here as a bastion of racial tolerance, but even I'm starting to think that Mike North (morning guy on The Score) is going too hard on Devin Hester. He's been ripping on the guy for sounding like an unintelligible idiot who should never talk, however, this also describes Mike North perfectly, who unlike Hester, is paid to talk. First time I heard this guy, I was like "the hell is this guy? did they just grab some putz out of a hot dog stand in Morton Grove or something?" and then I looked it up and you know what? I was absolutely right! That's exactly what they did! Anyway, hearing a guy in a really strong Chicago accent trying to do a really strong black accent is kind of weird, and certainly offensive, considering all Hester did was save our fucking asses the other night. Kotz was right about the football high, though. I got so worked up about the win that I resorted to listening to The Score for more discussion of the game. ugh.

Basic stuff here, plug for Brooke's CD, Hulk is supposedly less protective of Brooke now, Shaq would dominate in a steel cage match, Hulk's probably gonna wrestle at WM 23, Brooke has a crush on Vincent LeCavlier(sp?), couple other things. Nothing too special. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2006 ESPN has cancelled Cheap Seats. The last episode will air in November Stupid ass ESPN. Just when the show finally finds a cool stride, it gets canned probably to air more episodes of Stump the Slob or whatever the hell it's called. ESPNCLASSIC barely shows anything that should be considered classic sports. Unless you count constant repeats of Karate as classic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vampiro69 0 Report post Posted October 21, 2006 Dammit, Cheap Seats is now gone. That was one of the only redeemable things that ESPN still had on the air. No NFL Primetime, and now no Cheap Seats. Fuck, why don't the just put on constant loops of Terrell Owens segments, and Red Sox Yankee games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It wouldn't be so bad if they would leave out that stupid thing where Irvin and everyone gets to yell, "JACKED UP!" What's next? Woody Paige gets fired?

fairtoflair7 0 Report post Posted October 23, 2006 ESPN Classic is a joke. It used to be one of my favoirte channels. Now It would be the apocalypse if I actually saw a classic game on that channel. All they show is fuking poker, Arliss, and thier stupid espn original movies that blow. Thank god they canned CheapSeats. I hate that crap. Another reason why ESPN is a joke.

No offense to John Saunders whom I really like he's no Dick Schapp. As for Cheap Seats getting canceled, another horrible decision by ESPN. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
