They also have smoking hot women everywhere.

“they” is also known as “everywhere”

Nobody cares about the Manti Te’o fake dead girlfriend story anymore,

I was clear about never caring from the beginning.

Still like guys like Raftery and Barkley too. Knowledge and honesty is the key. Nothing worse than an analyst who won’t criticize (Vitale)

Nothing beats Barkley. Hawks gave up a large lead and lost a game last year. Reggie Miller says that it’s a black eye for the hawks. Barkley without missing a beat goes, “I wish I could punch them in the other eye”.

There’s this place called the south. They get uppity about football and have a lot of fat people. I think you’re confused

You also described Ohio, they are for all intensive purposes southerners. A paler, hoodie sweatshirt version.

i don’t want a phD as an analyst

Some of the best analysts fit the phD mold. Bilas, Kerr, Van Gundy. All really smart guys and IMO the best analysts

I also like how King doesn’t go full-homer mode like Sean Elliot.

Heinsohn is the biggest homer ever. But he is fantastic. Helps to be NBA royalty

Gus Johnson is full on retarded

Easy on that keyboard, Mole.

Vitale is excitable but he’s not a dolt.

Not a dolt in reality, but he doesn’t analyze, he just get’s excited

This is like Jerry Remy, if you replace excitement with depression

i’m an old testamane tkind of guy, like my coffee black and my parole denied

when you have athletes turn into analysts and they are excitable and do not have a pro sheen on their utterances, you get stacey king type exclamations. i like it. some are funny some are dumb, all are entertaining. i think the contingent who take their hoops announcing so seriously as to worry about king and other goofballs is too small to worry about for networks

Agree completely. I also like how King doesn’t go full-homer mode like Sean Elliot.

Dick Vitale has spent decades as ESPN’s lead color guy, so this is undoubtedly true. Most people want an excitable dolt

Yeah, last year at the age of 20 he was still in Rookie ball. That’s not a good sign. Perhaps he’ll break out a bit this year, but I’d be skeptical if I were a Royals fan.

Nice. He’s supposedly a freak athlete. I’d look forward to Pelini having no clue how to use his talents a la Jamal Turner.

/I really hate Pelini

The only thing I like about recruiting is when an 18-year-old kid changes his mind about where to go to school and it leads to people over 25 getting butthurt about it, coaches included

Enjoyed Pete Carroll’s work when Sanchez declared for the draft. Made no bones about hating the choice
