Zolak “In your face!”. He’s a total homer as the color analyst (like most). Really funny sometimes, but can be good at analyzing when diagnosing a play.

Anybody watch ESPN undisputed, it's gone beyond funny how much skip Bayless hates the eagles, the man can't do a proper analysis on them at all

Think Undisputed is Fox. But either way, be it Bayless or Smith (or other similar guys), I find them boring now. It's the same guff they've been doing for a long time. It's not analysis, just hype.

Ya this it ain't a coincadence that rach host takes different views on every point anyone listening would do them selves a favour by stopping

Sorry your right it's fox, first take is ESPN, True I usually watched skip as I wanted to see him admit the eagles are playing good but he just won't do it,

I agree 95% of the time it usually it's a question both analysts have a different opinion on even when there shouldn't be

Talking gasbags on shows like these are nothing new. They need to say controversial things and have ‘out there’ opinions to keep their shows interesting and to keep their jobs.

The Dan LeBatard radio show is quite good at taking the piss out of the whole genre. Occasionally they have his sidekick give analysis on games he hadn’t seen and players he doesn’t know and he gives pretty much the same spiel that the ‘experts’ give.

Do yourself a favour: don't watch that sh*** and change the channel/click away when you see his name. Same clown spent years saying Tebow was better than Rodgers (during and after Rodgers ridiculous 2011 season). That diarrhea is standard for him, because he doesn't believe a word of what he says himself. He's just a clown, just a troll like someone popping up in After Hours posting "kill all the blacks and jews" in a desperate plea for attention - that's his whole career. He's a waste of carbon.

Yep, I think it went to a new level with that 'Pardon the Interruption' show back about 15 years ago. "We're going to discuss 20 topics for 30-60 seconds each, five days a week, and magically won't agree on any of them ever!"

If I want fiction, I go to the likes of HBO, Netflix, movies etc because they do a much better job of it.

Skip is one of these tele journalists/talking heads that just says the most outrageous thing possible to get twitter users talking

Although Stephen A Smith is by far the worst of the lot of them

I think I rank skip worse, I can laugh at the over the top reaction Stephen a smith does, but skip annoys me with how he clutches at straws and trys to make it seem like its a valid point eg Sean Lee arguments

Big Pussy Bonpensiero · 30-11-2017 10:06PM

I quite enjoy Skip and Shannon tbh, even though it is complete scutter they talk, especially by the former. I can imagine myself getting bored of it after a while, I've only been watching for a couple of months now. For the moment though it's somewhat entertaining.

Pointless, someone may be wrong 98% of the time but the other 2%.. He raises some very good points actually

The amount of times I thought the video had stopped to buffer or my phone had locked!!

Hococop · 02-12-2017 12:31PM

Will be an interesting season for qb's, Eli and Kirk will probably both go, Eli might retire, I think Kirk might go to the jags but would they have the cap space to afford him?

Bortles probably gone if Eli or Kirk goes, he will end up as a QB backup I'd say?

Ain't jags one of the best placed in cap space

Possibly, wasn't sure we're they in a similar problem like the broncos with big cap space in the defense

pretty sure they have about 30 odd million in cap space

If I were a Jags fan I'd want Cousins over Manning. Nothing against Manning who still has it in him, I just feel Cousins would be a better fit in that offense and with how young they are all over would give a QB to go with Fournette and that defense for almost all of their careers (he's got minimum 6-7 years in him).

Manning I think though, might be a better fit for Denver.

Jimmy Smith had been banned 4 games for violating the PED policy (Adderall I'm sure :rolleyes:) but was appealing.

However, he did Achilles yesterday, has withdrawn his appeal and as a result will now start serving his suspension.

Very strange that you can serve a suspension while out injured.

I guess you could say PED's are his Achilles heel :pac:

The Reservoir Dubs Anchorman · 04-12-2017 02:12PM

Will Gronk get a suspension for that incident at the weekend?

Billy86 · 04-12-2017 02:16PM

He should. Not in his general nature and all that, but that was outright disgraceful and dangerous. Probably 1-2 games.
