Marino and the mouth out at CBS: Mr. Sensativity in.

Ooh, I might watch again...or not. Pre-game shows suck, but they suck even more when Shannon Sharpe is on the screen.

I had no intention of watching before; I have no intention of watching now.

great comment at PFT article on this:

Yep. That's a pretty shi*ty show before the change. Mmm...not a lot better after.

 

Some of the guys I actually used to like listening to (Jaws on ESPN) aren't even on air anymore. Getting Gonzalez or WORSE Favre would pretty much ensure I wouldn't tune in .. ever.

I tune in less than five minutes before kickoff, and then have to tune out Aikman and Buck. I get my analysis from X4, so I am well-informed.  

Paraphrasing another PFT comment...

"Wish it was Joe Buck"!

CBS has a pre-game show?

This is why they make DVR's, you can FF through and stop if there is something interesting.

too funny, Boris...

 

I do that.  I record the pre-game shows....but will FF through most of it unless I see something that looks meaningful and/or poignant.

 

 

Have not watched a pre-game show since Jimmy The Greek set me straight on how black people were bred.

Does this mean the sub title guy for CBS pregame is out of a job as well?

Wait..What?

 

Jimmy the Greek was wrong?

 

Did I have a crush on Phyllis George back in the day? Yes I did. I'll bet Irv Cross tried to knock the bottom out of that at the company Christmas party. 

I was more of a Jayne Kennedy guy myself.  

 

There were three channels.  Two of them had football.  Jayne Kenneday alone was way better than the slop they had on the other channel - Mike Adamle, Bryant Gumbel, Pete Axthelm, et al.

Joe Namath probably wanted to kiss her too.

Love the fact that Shannon is gone!

Haven't watched a pre game show in over a decade. Really increased my enjoyment of the game by doing so.

I thought Marino was a 'strange' choice initially; I'm sure he's very smart about football, but his personality seemed so bland, he wasn't able to share his thoughts or make his point very well. He seemed to grow into his role somewhat as the years progressed, but was never dynamic.

Sharpe...I've never been able to understand his hiring from the get-go. But, then again, I've never understood him either.
