Don't forget Deion Sanders. I would say he actually has MORE style than Irvin, but Irvin makes a better commentator.

Bruce Yes if screaming incoherently is what your looking for in a commentator. Anyone catch Shannow Sharpe on the CBS show? Howd he do? I seemed to find him pretty well spoken and at times kinda funny....was he any good? |

Sharpe was part of the "pack of gibbering incoherent marsupials" on CBS's halftime show. I couldn't tell you how he did, because I couldn't understand a goddamn word any of them said. It was like that old Robin Williams joke about dolphins. All I heard was "BEEP" when the dolphin was saying "I'M NOT A TUNA!"

Ironically this week I got annoyed at CBS for not showing enough information. While watching the Pats game I kept watching their very small ticker in the top right corner for scores on other games , except all they kept showing was scores for only 4 AFC games over and over again...

I will give CBS some more credit. Their "StatTrax" despite it's ghey name, was quite useful. Every time something would happen, like a back gets a run, or a QB completes a pass, they would show that player's current stats. And it was readable. Fox's shitty interface seemed to take a step back.
I didn't watch nearly as much football, because I had Fable to play and my selection of games SUCKED ASS. Hmmm, Saints/49ers, Browns/Cowboys and Bengals/Dolphins. Suck. The only good game was the Indy/Tennessee game. Go Colts!

Error 404: Title not found.

The Atlanta/St. Louis game was quite enjoyable. I'm officially on the Vick bandwagon until it loses a wheel.

Yes Im going to probably have to rescind my statement that Brady would be a better fantasy performer over the first half of the season that Vick. Just goes to show that the NFL should be the NFI because no one has no f'ing idea whats going to happen. That being said maybe we should start a pool on 'picking the craziest team you can think of to reach the superbowl this year'. Im taking Detriot. |

Dallas is my pick. It's actually not that crazy, but nobody seems to even expect them to reach the playoffs this year.

Steven A Smith is a jackmonkey, especially compared to David Aldrige who provided some insightful commentary in a very non-jackmonkeyish fashion. I also hate that Trev Alberts guy they have on College Gameday. He is also a jackmonkey.

Further addendum to NFL coverage:
Fuck you, NFL. I remember the good old days, back when networks each had 2 games a day. Now, instead of seeing my beloved Packers in the early games, I got stuck watching only 1 game on Fox. And it was a SHITTY one, thank you very much. Instead of being able to see a game with two potential playoff teams, in the Falcons/Panthers game, I had to endure the suckfest that was New Orleans vs. Arizona. The fact that both teams spent most of the game trying to lose it didn't help matters. Yes, I know I live 2 1/2 hours drive from New Orleans; I still don't want to watch their shitty football team.
I'd also like to hand it to CBS's graphics team. While Fox's HUD seems content with being the most distracting, muddled piece of shit possible, CBS has not only made their display clearer, but more informative. Their StatTrax was in full effect, but in addition, the bottom of the screen had a wafer thin, yet READABLE, tracker of the games going on elsewhere. Each game had stats on important players, which helped me keep track of my fantasy team pretty well. And there was no flashing, blinking shit to take my eye off the action. It was just there.
Learn your lesson, Fox. Please.
P.S. Your halftime shows are still full of gibbering jackasses. Stop it.

Judging by the sheer weight of vitriol Hammy is deluging Fox with, I'm kinda glad it's the one station I don't get in HD. It's also a great advertisement for high definition broadcasts, the guys are already becoming elitist about that kinda stuff when they come over. From a nice detailed 16:9 720p image to a fuzzy 4:3 480i image, sells itself.
Fox in my area is broadcasting (over the air) a 480i signal and calling it 'better than DVD', and to paraphrase a local technician "better learn to like it, it's all you'll be getting." Way to embrace the future imo.
Throw some more picks, Drew.
