Hall of Famer
Thought we could have a thread with comments each week on quality of commentary/comments/analysis in print & TV media. Favourite / most annoying commentators /special comments / journos.
I'll kick it off and have a go at the ESPN pre-game coverage led by Chris Berman. Don't mind Berman but Keyshawn, Ditka, Carter really tells us bugger all about the game. Never liked Tom Jackson as well but he's less annoying when just with Berman. Expected more from Steve Young as well.
Impressed with Gruden at times. Sometimes when he's given more time he comes up with some excellent analysis/insights these are more worked out pre-game. During the game he can state the obvious too often but for his first year he's been good.
