Shorttynaz Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 I just thought I'd throw this out there.. Mike, Mike, and Mike are HORRIBLE.. These guys are completely boring - combined with a boring game. Kind of a dud to complete opening week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlittle1105 Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 I actually like Mike Greenburg & Mike Golic and I think that, on their own, they'd do a pretty good job. But Ditka I cannot stand. He lends nothing to the commentary... especially tonight. Every time, Greenburg would ask him a question—a la "what would you do here, coach"—Ditka would avoid the question entirely or ramble on about something completely unrelated.

Shorttynaz Posted September 9, 2008 Author Share Posted September 9, 2008 (edited) Ditka would avoid the question entirely or ramble on about something completely unrelated. Like get excited cause Zach Miller caught a pass. I thought he was gonna jump out of the booth toward the end of the game when Miller caught his 3rd pass. I didn't quite understand his excitement.

LooGie Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 i was thinking the same thing. i didn't want to say it first, for fear that i was just nitpicking. ESPN, without fail, every year, sucks. Kornhole still sucks, he'll always suck and Ditka was just a rambling, bambling, stumbling, stammering idiot.

Flip_Side Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 This is already being talked about in the game thread, it was horrible we all know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcat2334 Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 I like Golic- I think he does a nice job. The other bozos are awful Ditka can't even string together a coherent sentence, and he shortens entire words. One of the best at interrupting himself. Greeny stinks, can't stand his nasaly voice on ESPN radio and he is an awful play by play man - he makes Tirico sound like Vin Scully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip_Side Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Your right. Golic was bareable but the Ditka had to be the worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonkis Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 I laughed when I heard Golic say something like "I'd have had more than 4.5 sacks in my 9 year carrer if I wasn't blocked, too..." Who's he trying to impress? Dickta? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Beatings Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 I actually thought they were fine for the most part... but at times there were some strange timing or rhythm issues when they were talking to each other. That surprised me since Mike & Mike have been working together for so long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balzac Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Greenberg sux - he's possibly the most annoying man on tv. Ditka is just a clown - he makes no sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

policyvote Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Greenberg is the big problem. He tries to fit play-by-play and analysis together, and he never gives the others space. After about ten minutes I was screaming for him to shut his d*mn yap. The fade TD to Royal at the beginning was like: Greenie: "blahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahbl--" (ball is snapped) Greenie: "--ahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahbl--" (ball is thrown) Greenie: "--ahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahbl--" (ball is caught, TD) Greenie: "ahblahblahthethrowtoRoyAL IS COMPLETE TOUCHOWN ANdjustlikethattheBroncosblahblahblahblahblahblahblah . . . " Like, the play on the field (a frigging TD!) barely threw Greenie off his stride of monotone yappy BS. It really hurts Greenie/Golic that they have a longstanding dry, verbose straight man/loud, boisterous funny man relationship, because Greenie's pipes aren't cut out for play-by-play at all. He's got the yappy, wry, annoying smartaleck voice you'd associate with a Miller or Kornheiser 'funny man', but he's doing the play-by-play. I could listen to Mike Tirico read the phone book all day and be mildly soothed, but Greenie doing play-by-play is lik nails on a chalkboard. Meanwhile, Golic has no time to be funny, and his analysis is mostly worthless. Ditka speaks so rarely and is such a nonsequitur factory I don't really mark the team down for his antics.

AtomicCEO Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 you know, as a coach, you just never see this coming. They went to commercial and came back and he was still saying that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcat2334 Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Policy hit it on the head- Greeny is a whiney, skinny Jewish kid out NY who never played sports in his life- no one wants to hear his analysis on the game and he never shuts his hole- he is so effing annoying. same goes for Kornheiser - such a freakin tool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Billy Mays? Oh God. I cringe whenever I hear that guy. I can't change channels fast enough and I email sponsors that I always change channerls when he's on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
