Whiskey Pimp Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 I think it sucks. They're showing highlights and 4 guys are all yelling crap at the same time. Costas is great at what he does but Collinsworth, Sharpe and Bettis are going to kill this show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are trying much too hard to be Monday Night Football as it was run by ABC. Obviously, they're committed to the format for this year, but if they were smart, they'd go back and rework it.

As much as Chris Berman annoys me, I really miss Primetime on ESPN after watching that weak display on NBC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruffian Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 So far, it reminds me of the Torino Olympics mixed with Inside the NFL, which yields a final product of crap. Costas should run from this like the plague--Collinsworth and the Bus are #2 and #3 worst commentators in professional football. Of course, #1 would be... Joseph Theismann.

Wolverines Fan Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 So far, it reminds me of the Torino Olympics mixed with Inside the NFL, which yields a final product of crap. I was thinking the exact same thing. This show is dry and dull. Too many talking heads, and not enough highlights. They are trying to funny like the guys on the Fox pregame show. Chris Berman got on my nerves sometimes, but he and Tom Jackson did it right on NFL Primetime. Man, I miss NFL Primetime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godtomsatan Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 They're showing highlights and 4 guys are all yelling crap at the same time. And this distinguish itself from every other NFL show how? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilthorp Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Didn't watch it. I clicked through it and clicked quickly to the next channel. I hate these type of "wrap up" shows. I love the NFL Network show that has all the coaches press conferences...those are very cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goopster24 Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 This show just gives me a bad vibe. Costas is what is carrying the show right now. I feel like they are trying to be too "nice". I don't know; just present the info in a cool way and they aren't really doing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a good spot for Collinsworth, but the less he talks, the better we all are anyway. Costas cut into Favre a little bit, way more than you'd ever hear Berman rip someone. I mentioned in the skybox that when Costas rips you, you know you've f'd up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjpro11 Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 its only the first show.. give it some time, maybe they will get better as they get used to each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskey Pimp Posted September 11, 2006 Author Share Posted September 11, 2006 its only the first show.. give it some time, maybe they will get better as they get used to each other. 8 posts bashing this show and a Steeler fan saying give it a chance. Wow, you guys will hang on any Steeler's jock no matter how bad it gets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CD6405 Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 (edited) The thing I noticed is it is not segregated like the ESPN primetime. Boomer and Ditka are on the left with Irvin and Jackson on the right. On This one though, they got Costas and Collinsworth in the middle and then Sharpe and Bettis on the sides. It's more aesthetically pleasing. Edited September 11, 2006 by CD6405 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiskey Pimp Posted September 11, 2006 Author Share Posted September 11, 2006 did you really think i was going to bash the bus? No, but it's pretty tough to try to add some positive spin to that show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
