I've seen so many threads this year started about how horrible some analysts are like Bayless and Heath Evans. I personally live hearing Bruschi and Jaws talk football. Who do you guys enjoy watching talk football?
For my money, Jaws is the best in the business. He watches every game film and breaks it down better than anyone. He tells it like he sees it, no playing favorites, no emotional attachment to any teams or players. Then Dilfer a close second, he loves calling players out and isn't afraid of getting on a players bad side like some analysts are.
I like Tom Jackson, Eric Allen, Bruschi, Jaws and Dilfer. The rest are either loud mouth morons or have to take Belichick's cock out of their mouth to speak.
Jaws, Dilfer and Gruden atm. I really like Gruden's QB breakdowns. I'd like to see more of Bill Cowher also. He's always giving quick takes in that panel of 4 or 5 when he's on. I'd like to see him more in a two person setting. Gruden is at his best when it's just him and a QB. That's when he lets it all hang out.
I like Brian Baldinger. In a pre-game interview, he said he couldn't evaluate the Jets offense since they withheld so much in the preseason and had so many injuries to the WR corps. I thought that was imminently fair and not designed to grab a quick headline like douchers such as Bayless, Evans, or others.
For content: Tom Jackson, Jaws, Eric Mangini, Gruden, Ditka, Herm Edwards. For entertainment: Irvin, Sanders, Stephen A. Smith, Skip Bayless.
I usually like Tom Jackson but he annoyed me yesterday when talking about the Jets. Using a few series from pre-season as his basis for saying they can't score, have no weapons, will be steamrolled by the Bills. Just seemed like he got all of his football knowledge from watching sportscenter a few times.
At work, so someone please keep me posted as to what Mark Schlereth & Stephen A. Smith say on ESPN today. Those two were unbearable last week laughing about the Jets' offense.
Listening to Jaws takes me back to sunday mornings in middle school when ones passion for sports and jets football is unparalleled because its the only thing you have in your life, so i like that. honestly, Grudens my favorite. knows a ton, gets easily excited. refrains from bashing and gives measured thoughts
The Sooner you realize Bayless is not an analyst, but an entertainer, the better off you'll be. He knows jack shit about most sports, and wehn called out about it has no defense. The Vid of Mark Cuban calling him out on live TV is classic.
