Re: Best and Worst of ESPN

Not so much as the ESPN talking heads. But just the ESPN brand. I mean, c'mon..ESPN the magazine is terrible, do they ever say anything bad, or question any athelete on anything("Is America ready to love Barry Bonds?"), ESPN Mobile...I mean how long until its ESPN Credit Card, ESPN Cookbook, The Best of ESPN DVD Vol.1, ESPN "After Hours", ESPN Calendar...hmmmm Rachel Nichols in a Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader outfit...thats my film clip for tonights dream...err....OUT!

There is an ESPN Credit Card...

Ha?

Re: Best and Worst of ESPN

I personally like all the ESPN morning radio show hosts the best. Colin Cowherd, Golic and Greeny and Dan Patrick.

Never been a fan of any of the nba analysysts. Like most of the baseball and NFL guys, really miss Harold Renyolds.

For sportscenter, my fav anchors got to be John Anderson and Scott Van Pelt.

Best

Broadcasting: Mike Patrick

Unless he is doing Duke basketball games; during those moments, he is the worst of ESPN..........

Oh man... everyone hating on Stuart Scott... that guy was GREAT when he first came on the scene as a Sportscenter anchor.

Now... ehh.... not so much.

Re: Best and Worst of ESPN

Best:

Peter Gammons ... summed up well by the trade deadline analogy, plus he's a Red Sox season ticket holder Not the most articulate baseball guy, but his knowledge and passion grab you instantly.

Jaws ... this guy knows football like you wish you did.
Mike Patrick ... I'm indifferent to Duke basketball, but he makes Vitale more tolerable and I love his excitability and what he did for Sunday night football.

Worst:
Joe Morgan ... to answer your question Angel Fan, he's a walking contradiction and brings no value to a great commentator like John Miller. Quite simply, when he opens his mouth he's either painfully obvious or painfully wrong if you know your baseball. The old school baseball guy that thinks Jeter is a gold glover
Chris Berman ... seems like a great guy, but he's a card carrying member that needs his membership - along with his nicknames and diddys - revoked.

Re: Best and Worst of ESPN

Best-

Scott Van Pelt- extremely funny and by far the best writer of all the anchors on staff.

Worst-

Stu Scott- Ever since he lost his eye he's been a caricature of himself.
