I don't, dude made that network. Like Dan Patrick said, they should have a wing at that complex dedicated to him.

It's not "cool" to hate the dude. He sucks with his tired schtick. I bet you eat up Mike and Mike's corny banter.

I never understood why ESPN retooled NFL Primetime when NBC got rights in 2006. They still could have kept Berman and Jackson together. Just tape delay the show later that night and the next day. NFL Blitz just wasn't the same. It doesn't have the same magic anymore. I don't like all the over analysis and film breakdown. Just give me highlights.

This. The first few years of the nicknames and sound effects were mildly amusing.

Then he began forcing them at every possible turn to the point it was painful to watch.

How does he suck? How could he possibly be bad at his job? All he does is read from a teleprompter and put his little finishing touches on it??


If you're gonna throw out shite like this, at least say why he 'sucks' so you don't sound like a 12 year old who can't back up their opinion...

This is the problem

His little finishing touches are terrible and they've been annoying and unoriginal for a decade.

Was it a contractual thing? I do not know, but it seems to me that you would give NBC everything Disney had in terms of broadcast rights to games.

Wasn't 2006 when MNF moved to ESPN from ABC also?

Evidence?

You need evidence that the guy's schtick is tired and terrible?

And next up from Oakland we have
daaaaaaa Raaaaidaaaghz
against Richard Sherman and the Sccccheeaaatle Scccheeeeahhawkshh

Huh there isn't enough Sccchtaaarbuckshh to get Pete Carrol pumped up for this game.

WTF is that nonsense? Is that speech pattern schtick he lapses into supposed to be a Howard Cosell impersonation?

If so it's terrible, annoying and played the frick out.

Not to mention 85% of his viewers never once watched a game done by Cosell.

It's the little touches like that which he constantly adds that make him insufferable and a decade past his prime.

Good riddance Boom.

I would agree, it was cool in the early days, never changed later and got stale.

Yes, but I don't see why NFL Primetime couldn't be aired in its current format once NBC's SNF was off the air.
