It's fun. Don't judge me.
Mikefive's theory: The only time you KNOW that a sports team player, coach or management member is being 100% honest is when they're NOT reciting "the company line".

It is kind of interesting how Biscuit doesn't like to look at the camera all the time. He's clearly focusing on giving the "right" answers.

Good Morning Football has to be the worst sports related show I think I have ever seen. Burleson is the only one on there worth having. The woman, please, she is just an ok pretty face. One of the guys was on MTV Real World and now he is on an NFL sanctioned program!! So sad. I watch Mike Florio every morning instead.

haven't watched it, but are you saying it is actually worse than the Skip Bayless / Stephen A Smith show was?Otis Day wrote:Good Morning Football has to be the worst sports related show I think I have ever seen.

I actually think the show is fine. Burleson is good and the chick is 10x better than most of the female hosts they try to throw on NFL shows. She doesn't come off like she's trying too hard to be like "Hey, guys! I know what I'm talking about too!" Even the dorky white guy is solid.Otis Day wrote:Good Morning Football has to be the worst sports related show I think I have ever seen. Burleson is the only one on there worth having.

Look, it is what it is. It's a mainstream, light-hearted show aimed for the broadest demo possible. However, out of the shows like it... relatively speaking... I think it's good.
I mean, that show was a smash-hit. I would never watch a single second, but it was a "shock value" show that appealed to the lowest common denominator of sports fans.Boris13c wrote:haven't watched it, but are you saying it is actually worse than the Skip Bayless / Stephen A Smith show was?Otis Day wrote:Good Morning Football has to be the worst sports related show I think I have ever seen.
People who take either of those guys seriously are kind of missing the point. They were basically doing a performance on that show. They didn't believe half of the shit they said. Their goal was to say something that would go viral within the hour and typically - it'd work.
It's dog shit sports talk. However, both of those guys are kind of masters at what they do.

The chick and the frat boy are Bears fans so I like that we are getting more coverage and 'love'.Richie wrote:I actually think the show is fine.

I suppose so ... but I found them to be unwatchable

On that show, Skip Bayless used to constantly rip into Aaron Rodgers and heap praise after praise on Jay Cutler. It was pretty amusing, I tell you what.Richie wrote:I mean, that show was a smash-hit.

I largely agree and pretty well put. But I'd call Bayless the master and he just says "what I say... say the opposite.".Richie wrote:I mean, that show was a smash-hit.

Kay Adams and Nate Burleson are really good on it. Schrager is fine. Frat Brandt is nails on blackboard annoying, even if he is a Bears fan. Still, I find the youtube highlights entertaining as background watching when I've got time to kill.G08 wrote:The chick and the frat boy are Bears fans so I like that we are getting more coverage and 'love'.Richie wrote:I actually think the show is fine.
