OT; ESPN cuts Mark May from College Football Final

Virk is great, obviously no Davis but he holds his own. Danny K is a guy I like but am not going to get toooo excited over. And everyone complaining about Galloway....at least this takes him out of the booth for any potential UM games.

ESPN has many inadequate managers making decisions.

So ESPN really did break up Doofus and Dumbass. Long time coming--it died for me around the time it adopted the First Take formula of idiots yelling at each other with little real analysis of anything.

I think Tom Luginbill might be the best ESPN has right now.

But this means Galloway won't be a color commentator for OUR games.  I see this as a win.

Davis, Tebow (I know, I know Eagles) and Palmer. I think Davis is pretty awesome, and has that Iconic voice. Tebow sounds corny on air, bus has a great sense of football knowledge and i enjoy listening to him.

Palmer is good and can be sometimes annoying but a head to head with Galloway, Palmer wins everytime.

Palmer>Galloway

 

It's gonna be a real shitshow now.

I don't watch the half time or post game stuff anyway. Could be Pam Ward and Matt Millen for all I care. But as much as I dislike ESPN, I actually like the Saturday morning schtick.

Nice to see Adnan land on his feet after that whole Hae Min Lee thing.

I like Davis, but I always thought Fowler did an excellent job and was Fair and balanced .

I was like, FUCK YES.  Then I read Joey Galloway and thought, no fuck no.

Can't say I'll be sad to say May go. I thought he was biased against Michigan. Nothing particularly comes to mind as to why so call it a gut feeling. But then Galloway is probably worse. I'll call this a push. In any case Galloway is not a good analyst so I suspect ESPN will reshuffle the deck again before too long.

I stopped watching that show so long ago.  ESPN highlight shows suck.  Everyone of them includes 20 minutes of actual highlights, which is about 30 secs per game.  The other 40 minutes are their genius talking heads, that do absolute nothing but kill time.  It's pathetic.  I wish all American sports had a highlight show that is the same as the Epl.  The premier league review show is 2 hours of highlights.  Or about 10-15 min highlight packages per game.  No talking heads "breaking down" game film.  Just good old fashioned highlights.  If they did that with college football alone I would be hyped.  Even the Big ten network spends little time on actual highlights and the rest on Dinardo rants.  It's unbearable.

and I thought May and Holtshtshs yelling at each other was entertaining more often than not, even if one or both was being an idiot. I generally liked May's commentary anyhow.

Davis was the straight guy trying to keep it from going completely off the rails, like Will Farrell's Alex Trebek dealing with Sean Connery and Burt Reynolds.

Galloway is awful, Kanell is blah, and I've never heard of Virk. Unless there's some sort of entertaining chemistry between the three, I have no reason to even think of watching them.

Don't understand the mark may hate. He bashes ohio state and notre dame every show.

So happy to see Holth and May go.  I liked Rece Davis though.  Galloway sucks and Kanell is an idiot.  I don't know the other guy.  Mixed feelings.  Actually I guess I don't care bc I didn't watch before bc of May and Holtz and now I still won't watch bc of Galloway.  

Maybe the bright side is Galloway won't be doing any UM games.

May/Holtz were in my rare Steven A "change the channel at all costs" Smith territory for some time now. I can't believe they were kept around for so long. Rece was decent but probably tough to survive the new direction.

...has turned into the "Trash Joey Galloway POSBANG" thread.

Thanks God!  The folks down here complain about Mark May SO MUCH!  They effectively ran Herbie out of town as well.  I'm sure it won't take long for them to be pissed off about something the new crew says or does.  Sooooooooo sensitive.  So sensitive.  

Met Brian Griese as he was in my office today, he said he wasn't interested in the gig, he prefers to call the games... pic!

I thought May, Holtz and Rece had pretty good chemistry on that show and made it entertaining to watch
