ABearWithFurniture Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Was just wondering what others thought about this show...IMO it wasn't that bad really. Not so sure about their choice of commentators, and just grabbing projections/stats from Foxsports without gleening any major insight from anybody was pretty hokey...but for the most part I liked what they tried to accomplish with this show. All-in-all I thought it was well thought out and a great baseline for other networks to follow. Wish they could have gotten permission from the NFL to show player highlights though, as that just seems to be a natural transgression to go along with some of the projections and comments. I'd also think that an hour long program, instead of just the half hour, would be more beneficial and give more in-depth insight... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furd Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Is that the one with Erik Kramer and Warren "I drafted Brett Favre in the first round" Moon? I watched it a couple of times. It blew, so I haven't watched it again. Unless it improved dramatically, I have no plans on tuning in again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorfinn Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 I watched it quite a bit... If you're posting on the Huddle's message board, answering questions and what not, it probably won't help you much But not everyone out there uses this site (or others like it) For those people, it might help a bit... Personally, I found it entertaining. I thought some of their insight was pretty good and alot of their info mirrored what this site has...so I give it a thumbs up.

Marauders11 Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Horrible show IMO- the television equivilent of Sportsline.com's weekely player rankings and/or "start/bench" lists. Baaad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loaf Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 could never remember when it was on. If I stumbled upon it, I watched. good mindless stuff for half an hour... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skrappy1 Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 (edited) I think that the show is a great idea, they just could've probably done better with their analysis and information...hopefully in the future they will.

ABearWithFurniture Posted December 29, 2004 Author Share Posted December 29, 2004 Well...that explains a lot.... 635146[/snapback] lol...at least I wasn't asking HoPpy for advice like someone we know... Don't think I ever used any of the info on there as I generally know who I want to play/bench...but I did like some of the topics. And like a magazine it was put together a few days in advance and things can change rapidly as we all know...so had to take a lot of it with a grain of salt...

ABearWithFurniture Posted December 29, 2004 Author Share Posted December 29, 2004 It's on one of the FoxSports network stations...I just TiVo it so not sure exactly what station...can probably find it listed on the FoxSports website...

sundaynfl Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 From what I've read, I am glad I haven't wasted my time on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Yeah, it pretty much blew. It was very "captain obvious" But, I give them credit for trying. BTW, what happened to that "Fantasy Focus" bit on ESPN by that nerd Eric Karabel or "The Gamer" Funson? They were OK with their info, but not very watchable. Hopefully we'll see more legit and in depth FF segments/shows in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blitztalk Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 I watched it the last couple years. There isn't anything else and I pretty much will watch anything football. I never learned anything from it as it is all old news by the time it airs. It would help if they would at least have a scroll going with updated info.

burtondogs Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 The biggest problem with that show is that is is recorded on like Wednesday and replayed on Sunday Morning w/o updating anyones status...................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PackerFanX Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 The content on the show is old. I assume they tape it on Wednesday or Thursday each week because they have players that are already out for the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoff812 Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 (edited) no matter if you think this show is good or bad the "YOU KILLED ME" segment is the best...i think all of us can relate to this at some point...some funny stuff in these segments but andrew sciliano has to be the most annoying person on the face of the earth...he thinks he is never wrong about anything...this is the guy with the humongous ears Edited December 31, 2004 by hoff812 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than watching some infomercial or CSpan to kill time before the games ... but not anything I'd base my lineup on ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
