Ponamsky is a hack who got into the local media by giving Hannagriff, Gordy, Mike Detilier and Moscona carte blanche writing on his little, never heard of, web site. He got credibility from THEM, not by any exclusive info from his own sources. Good business decision to ride these guys' popularity coattails, though.
I trust Gordy and Charles' insider info a whole lot more than this stuttering idiot.

LOL...I'm not a Ponamsky fan per se, but its obvious you're guessing as to how he got to where he is.

Trust me, Rush, Mike D, Hanny & Moscona didn't need carte blanche in terms of writing on his site. He's backed by some LSU boosters and he's tight with Rush & plugged into the staff as a result.

He used his connections to get where he is. Same way lots of folks do it.

But Gordy & Charles' insider info is pretty much the exact same as his. In many cases they're hearing it from the same place at the same time.

Personally, he's a bit of a pete-and-repeat in that he's not EVER going to be objective about LSU. Not to rip off Seinfeld, but I mean it when I say that not that there's anything wrong with that.

But on the postgame show, I want objectivity and I want some hosts who aren't afraid to tell it like it is. Which is something that you simply won't hear out of Ponamsky.

He blamed LSU fans for National Signing Day when we lost Torshiro Davis to Texas. That's one of several examples one could point to, but the bottom line is that you won't really ever hear him question a decision from this staff. Which is because he knows where his bread is buttered.

JMO-but I don't want to hear expert choir preachers on the postgame. Hanagriff toes the line a lot but he'll also call a spade a spade. That's what I want. Rush was the best man for that job, but we moved Jordy out of the sideline reporter role & moved Gordy into it so he can't do all of that at the same time. I think he's also something like VP of Guaranty Broadcasting at this point, so he's got lots of irons in the fire, and hosting 2 hours worth of postgame isn't feasible.

Dunno who the choice would be. As long as its not Rene Nadeau, I'm fine.
