Exaggerating weatherman is redundant if you are watching someone on the weather channel. They were practically jizzing themselves because this storm was bad and palpably disappointed it didn’t just wreck Florida

I think its all in the palm trees. The most dramatic tree there is during a hurricane and they always find a bunch of them to video. They make 30mph winds look like 100.

Virtually every cable news personality - especially those on CNN.

Dave also got either punched in the face, a coke thrown on him or got two black eyes and a broken nose because it rained when he said it wouldn't. Well, that was the rumor, anyways. Actually, some crazy guy found his way into Channel 13 and hit Dave in the arm. Totally non weather forecast related. But the former is more exciting.



Geez that's an old weather map.

The 20 different spaghetti models that have no consistency. Why even have that many on the forecast? And there's always that one arse that no matter what the forecast is they always have the storm heading straight up the mouth of the mississippi river.

You must have an ego to want to do television weather. Do these weather guys get laid or do they strip naked in their parents basement and jerk it hard to NHC advisories?

Cantore is the biggest nariccist that I ever met. These clowns in New Orleans think they are all Nash Roberts. Face it, the absolute smartest forecasters are not on television trying to frick the traffic reporter.

It’s driven by looks and ego. Nothing more.

I know he is popular, but he is a clown. I know its all about the ratings and reality doesn't always produce the best ratings, but he makes it too obvious sometimes.

How dare you?!

There are no lengths he will go to to help his buddy in what is probably 150 mph winds (from the looks of them). HE'S SOLID PEOPLE!

What you really want is their paycheck. Because they usually get the most screen time (locally, anyway) they are usually the highest paid people in the building.
