Full Version: Dear Lou Holtz: I know you were a great coach...

...but do us all a favor and STEP AWAY from the mike. What is it with ESPN (and other sports shows) hiring the worst possible people to report on sports? May dusts you on a regular basis (not that it takes much) and more often than not we wonder if you really are the same guy who was such a great great coach. And for crying out loud blow your nose and stop slurping on your freakin spit when you talk. I suspect they have to wipe that table off with a towel at every commercial break.

I agree that Holtz probably needs to go, but May sucks as well. It's pretty bad when the resident ESPN guy (Davis) is the only one worth listening to... the two "experts" are both completely annoying.
BeeR
Really? Admittedly I don't listen to this or the sports announcing BS much anymore, but what I've seen of May he's pretty good, and at least can speak well.

Which incidentally is one helluva lot more than I can say for home boy on the Dr Pepper commercial that's on right now.

May does appear to be fairly well-spoken... I just can't stand analysts that can't put their personal bias aside when giving an opinion on something. In other words, sharing his analysis of a particular game/team would be fine, if it wasn't for the fact that his personal interest in one team/conference always seeps through so obviously. Holtz does the same thing, and he doesn't even have the well-spoken thing going for him.

Holtz was, at one time, a GREAT motivational speaker, even outside of the football world... I just think he's past his prime, and ESPN could do better. He might not be a bad "guest" analyst now and then, but every week kind of loses whatever luster Holtz has, even for those who are fans of his.

It's like listening to a battery-operated radio, right before the batteries die.

I like Mark May. Lou is awful. I don't mind the crazy lunatic doing analysis, but not if they sound like they have marbles in their mouths. That's why Trev Alberts wasn't that bad. Yeah he's an idiot, but at least he was an entertaining idiot.

Maybe we could just get some really smokin HOT chicks to do the reporting. There is a reality show for everything these days....go on the road and find the three best talents in the Nation, sign them, pay them and let the games begin! sneaky.gif

Why would Big Ten fans think anything other than take the cock out of his mouth put the old doofus in a box already?
