It oscillates between humorous and cringe-worthy. Earlier tonight, Ditka said he was losing his voice from debating some point and Keyshawn replied "That's not why you are losing your voice, but we won't talk about that."

Just now, Ditka fumbled and stuttered through his pick for the night and Carter gave him some smartass comment after.

What is the deal?

On a completely different unrelated note, does Ditka have a drinking problem?

ESPN has a thing for this. See also Lee Corso.

Ditka is 74 and Corso is 79. These guys are grandpas who work full time jobs. Pretty impressive.

They only work 1\2 the year 2-3 days a week. I wouldn't say that's full time

They're a mess bro, and I wouldn't call what they put out as impressive.

Well Corso had a stroke a few years ago so he's down pretty well all things considered

We are all aware of his stroke, and that's tragic. But if we're going to be intellectually honest, you can't possibly say he's good on TV. And that's the point of this thread.

I think Chris Carter is fricking terrible at his job. The Where You At? segment made me irate. Show some fricking professionalism and quit trying to act like you are a black preacher.

You're right but Bad mouthing Corso is like bad mouthing my Grandpa for me? I Stan for him and Verne. I know they're probably past their prime but I'm not ready to turn out the lights on them yet.
