Yet another reason why Cris Carter is a moron

Schlereth's solid. The best ex-Redskins player at ESPN though is Ross Tucker

I enjoy Schlereth a lot. Cowherd on the other hand is unbearable. Something about his voice makes me want to swerve my vehicle into oncoming traffic.

No what bothers me is the ONLY team he said anything negative about in these 2 instances was the redskins. Like I said - he was describing himself surprisingly optimistic with the outlook of teams that one day. And on another separate day and instance he created the poll and discussed it on his show to vote with darren Woodson. ( poll: will the redskins be the worst team in the NFL?)

U have to admit it's a slanted poll.

Translation: He's a blabbering idiot.


Greenie seems like a nice enough guy, but damn he's just blabbering away and usually about nothing. No substance.

Sorry, Skip Bayless has already patented that. He needs to find another gig.

He doesn't create the polls...and again, you wouldn't be worried if the choice was the Bengals against the field

Thought I'd throw my

Carter, complete f-ing moron. I hope he never gets in the Hall.

I remember one year for the Jimmy V Foundation auction there was a package to come to ESPN and break down film with Jaws. If that ever comes up again I would certainly bid on that. Dilfer, Schlereth and MW are also very good. Agree with SS on Golic, he's hand-cuffed on M & M, but when he does the occasional college game he's very good.

Hoge is irritating, but he does some good breakdowns.

Not a Chucky fan, his QB breakdowns to me are a lot more style over substance. He is entertaining and good in the MNF booth though and the team is very good for the first time in a while.

Mayock on NFLN and Aikman are solid. Buck irritates the hell out of me, as does Collinsworth. I don't mind Joey T., you just have to realize he's a homer going in.

Anyone not mentioned....meh.

EDIT: Cowherd is annoying at times, but he's pretty good on NCAA FB.

I would assume he has some creative control over what goes on his show to discuss. And of course he votes- yes for redskins being the worst team - while Woodson says no they won't be. He rubs it in when the small majority (tilted by how the poll is asked) says no the redskins won't be the worst team -- by saying well it's the redskins against the entire field of 31 other teams anyway.

And obviously I wouldnt care if he said the same about the bengals because I'm not bengals fan and they actually might be the worst team in football.

No worries. I mean I agree with the initial post. CC was being ridiculous not including Calvin Johnson in the top 5 WRs. But what's worse, and what's kind of typical of him, is that he couldn't just say he was wrong and just forget CJ. No, instead he has to go on a huge nonsensical tangent. But he does not represent the thoughts of every analyst at the company, and neither does Cowherd...and Cowherd doesn't create the polls

What also bothered me was the reasoning was insulting. CC flat out insults Calvin Johnson. CJ has always been a professional and didnt deserve that.

I clearly believe if Stafford can remain healthy, CJ can and will put up the best WR numbers in the game. Lets remember to bump this later.

If anything, I think ESPN is getting more props in here than anything. Just picking on a few select village idiots. :P
