Barely tolerable during the Miami vs. West Virginia game earlier.

Also, extremely biased.

How does this guy keep his job?

He's great behind the desk, IMO.

Come bowl season, there's so many games that they are forced to take guys from their normal desk roles and put them in the booth (Galloway, Desmond Howard, Mike Golic, etc.).

If it means we get to watch more football, then I'm cool with it.

He's a great analyst. Easily one of the best on the SEC Network.

I didn't like him until this season, but I think he's really good now. He's not nearly as stiff and can even be funny when he's with someone he has good chemistry with.

Lol... Greg McElroy is about as unbiased a color commentator as there is. He also covers many different programs on College sports nation, seems to be objective.

McElroy is good. One of the ones I don't turn the dial away from.

I actually really like McElroy's morning XM radio show.

GMAC is legit. He can break down tape better than most of the commentators on air.

Lemme guess why you think he's an awful commentator...He went to Bama.


Greg is one of the better color guys at ESPN. Also after hearing today's Pinstripe Bowl, I'd love to see Golic return to the booth. He and his son were great

I like McElroy. I think he'll make a good career out of this.

You do realize he announces a game every single week on ESPN right?

His delivery is a little dorky, but he cares a lot about his job and is working on it. He may need to stick to the studio, but he's not that bad. Ignore how he sounds and listen to what he says. He is likely smarter than you about most things, and especially football.

I think he should do more games, he's good.

I think he's good. But his face is so punchable.

I can't stand his voice. It's like he tries to hard to sound like an announcer. It's obnoxious and ruins otherwise decent analysis. He's basically the anti-Verne.

He also makes no attempt to hide his Bama homerism

Oh, I'm sorry that he's not a Danny Kanell clone.

I'm not a Kanell fan either. I don't care if he did go to FSU.

Disagree. He's one of the better ones out there, actually.
