Game Coverage Sucks

[44_Riggins_44]

I dont know about you, but i am watching the game on ESPN. Kornheiser, Jaws, Charles Barkley, and this other douchbag are covering the game and it has been the worst coverage i have ever seen. They arent even talking about football. In the first half when sean taylor laid a hit on one phillie reciever to jar the ball lose to force a fourth down, they didnt even acknowledge it. they were to busy talking about andy reids personal life ( which was the topic of the whole game for the next 10 minutes). You know what, i dont care how bad you think theismann is, or how arrogant he is, but he did the most important thing that you had to do in announcing. HE TALKED ABOUT FOOTBALL! THESE GUYS FUC*ING SUCK! I mean for one leave reids personal life out of monday night football just for his privacy, but i mean gaddamnit talk about the game. I mean im not even sure if they knew the score half of the time. they were talkin about stupid shit, like the philly mascot and stuff. But what pisses me off the most is that Barkley keeps preachin how Andy Reid and Mcnabb arent getting any credit....i think thats a load of horse shit. IF ANYONE ISNT GETTING ANY CREDIT ITS THE SKINS! They made a mistake in releasing Theismann. Hey but the Skins D is kicking ass so its all good

I agree, way too much talk about stuff other than the action on the field.

Sunday night football is the new Monday night football. NBC just gets it, ESPN doesn't.

ESPN's coverage is very sub-par.

I agree I wish I could have seen that hit by Taylor again, and as for Charles Barkley, he needed to get out of the booth I was tired of hearing him yap.

Just trying to copy Madden...

horrendous

[Smooter]

I agree. I hate Charles Barkley.

I couldnt believe they didnt show the taylor hit on replay, and the eagle bias in the commentating was a little much, especially barkley, f him. another thing was andy reids camera time, they kept showing his fat face after every play it seemed like.

Korn and Barkley are Skins fans in case you didn't know. Jaws is an Eagles fan. They called the game without sounding bias towards their favorite teams. I thuoght they did a pretty good job as opposed to the commentary from the preseason hometown announcers.

also can i watch a redskins game without some douschbag(dont know if thats how u spell it) bringing up al saunders 700+ page play book.

I think it was just the fact they were jabbering on about things unrelated to the game for over 50% of the game. Andy Reid's kids and feeling sorry for them (which yes, I'm sure we all do, but how does that pertain to football?) and then don't even ask me what Barkley was jabbering on about.

Like I said, the commentary seemed like 4 guys (including Barkley) just hanging around the bar on a Friday night. A little too casual for me.

Where the hell is Gibbs' presser? They better not be showing Phillys and not ours. Get off of the Philly nut sack ESPN.

Huh? How many times did Barkley babble on about Philly being the home team and how he supports them all the time...on that one long screen pass too he even said "oh no".

I don't get MNF's fascination with Barkley, a has-been who never won squat. They had him in the booth for 20 minutes during the Bears-Cardinals game in Phoenix last year too...

And another thing..babbling on about Reid's kids like they're some kind of victims...they're criminals and they spend 15 minutes on that...geesh.

[MTK]

Yep, ESPN is all over Philly's nutz of course.

Everyone except Tom Jackson picked the Eagles. A lot of eggs on the face at ESPN tonight.
