Yeah Raider, I agree. You don’t want any “testosterone” around when it comes to sports……Geeesshhhh, go hug a tree wimp.

Raider One, please tell me that response was the best form of sarcasm I have seen since the April Fool’s Day page this site posted…

Love everything that Amy Lawrence does: a breath of fresh air from all of the testosterone on ESPN; Jason Smith is hilarious (esp “Cooler Knowledge”). Mike and Mike: two guys with little expertise but lots of enthusiasm just “shooting the breeze” for hours and hours and hours; Cowherd: arrogance personified with stilted Republican views who talks to himself to set up his viewpoints (“But Collin”, you say….). Tirico and Van Pelt better than most.

Bottom line: most who object to Amy are probably small town, local TV sportscasters who are jealous of her success and picture themselves doing what she’s doing: so they bash her instead of working their butts off to get better jobs. She’s earned her stripes by broadcasting on ESPN morning, noon, and night with few if any gaffs and it is appreciated.

Please rip Jason a new one he has got to be the most annoying of all of them.
The only person I enjoy listening to on ESPN radio is Bobby V, The V Show.

I don’t do that much blogging, but I very much enjoy listening to sports talk. I especially like sports talk without the “E” entertainment high-drama. I remember listening to espn one day when Amy was filling in. Man, I could not stand her views and the way she talked. It was like nails on a chalkboard. How did she get her job at espn. I did not put much thought to it (although, anytime I hear her on espn I execute my power of judgement and turn to something else) but I guess I feel better that I’m not the only one who feels this way about Amy. Just say no!

Why these two are still on the air I have no idea, except maybe to give soccer moms something to listen to so that their husbands seem more manly.

LOL! Your just figuring that out now?! ESPN has always been the Emasculated Sports Network. Where fat married white men can congregate, and sip their lite beer untill their wives tell them it’s time to come home. My problem with ESPN is that they want to treat the sports world as one big soap opera…where drama surrounding athletes lives takes precedence over their game performance. Jason Smith is the biggest offender of this. His insistance on Metro-Sexualizing every aspect of sports is nauseating…and then when he repeats the same top 4 stories of the day, I just have to turn the radio off. Bottom line is this! I couldn’t care less about athlete drama. Just give me Stats,Scores,Game Replays, More NHL Coverage, More Games and less talk. Grown men should’nt be arguing with one another. It’s sort of embarrassing

I intimated yesterday how I felt about ESPN when commenting on the Sean Salisbury firing. I couldn’t agree with you more but I doubt anyone at ESPN will pay attention. Of course, if their ratings take a serious tumble, that might get the attention of someone important.

Unfortunately, I think we’re stuck with this current crop of crap at ESPN for the near future.

Great post.
