Do they still do "Jacked Up"?

[gilthorp]

Jason McKie would be a prime nomination for #1 if they do. EJ Henderson absolutely lit him up...totally legal, not cheap, and on a running play.

 

It hurt me from my chair 32 miles away.

Found this on AOL. Maybe they wimped out and stopped it.

 

 

 

 

I've always felt uneasy about the ESPN Monday Night Countdown Jacked Up! segment. They do it every Monday night, showing a collection of hits from the previous day's games. Tom Jackson narrates a clip of a hard hit, then he and the rest of the jock-turned-commentators on the set scream "Jacked Up!" It's not exactly the most intellectually stimulating program on television. Paul Zimmerman of Sports Illustrated once wrote,

 

You ever watch that "Jacked Up!" thing before the Monday night game? Some poor guy gets leveled with a kill-shot, and the yahoos in the studio all yell, "Jacked Up!" I think I wrote this last year but I'll repeat it, if you don't mind. Those network commentators were born into the wrong era. They'd have been right at home in 17th or 18th Century England, :wacko:enjoying a nice outing at a public hanging. And when the trap is released and the poor guy is hung, they'd all yell, "Jacked Up!"

 

In the past I've agreed with Zimmerman: I always thought Jacked Up! essentially celebrated cheap shots and injuries, making it the closest thing basic cable had to a snuff film. But before tonight's installment of Jacked Up!, Jackson and Chris Berman made pains to preface the segment by telling the viewers, "nobody got flagged, nobody got hurt." Apparently there's a policy in place that Jacked Up! won't include any hits that caused injuries or drew penalty flags. This is a good thing, I guess.

 

2. Hold on, this is football, a contact sport. "Glorify unnecessary roughness" Give me a break, why are you watching the game ... to see some kindler, gentler tackling. I don't like to compare football to war because it is a game, but none the less it is a violent struggle for field position and advancing upon the other team. This is not flag football and if you don't lay the wood to some guy he will probably lay it to you as he's running you over. A good clean shot should be highlighted just as much a touchdown pass, it's part of the game.

 

And you can keep that condescending, 'Is that english?' comment to yourself, apparently they didn't teach capitalization at whatever school you went to.

What kind of idiot do you have to be to compare these 2 things? A guy getting hit hard in a contact sport is the same thing as someone being hanged? That's a load of crap

 

people nowadays are way too sensitive
