Very true Picker. What ever happened to ESPN? It's become a joke and sinking fast.

I do have to agree with the on air talent during the FOX games vs. ESPN crew.

"Stupid and uncreative people do not deserve a public format."

Are you paying attention Jason? Maybe this should be written into the terms and conditions.

ESPN and other traditional means of sports media are going the way of the DoDo. People demand more than talking heads.

Enter SB Nation. If video killed the radio star, the blog is going to kill the espn/newspaper/local sports talk star. You're gonna have to be really good to survive in this new world.

Joe Buck is a pathetic atavism, harkening back to the days of Will Rogers, Jr. The unwatchable Buck coos and moos with his radio dj voice while making idiotic comments rife with moronic "insights". Will Rogers, jr. did his best to make hay off of his dad's name; Joe Buck is doing the same. What's the old expression? Born on third base and thinks he hit a triple...

Speaking of weird... How did Holly Rowe get a job in Sports TV? She doesn't add any content to the game and actually appears to be annoying the athletes.

Kenmore, Buck has been telling jokes? Ignatz, and that lousy call came AFTER a time out, that was the best they could come up with? Was a bad call. But that's part of the game.
This whole empty hand, tuck rule is it a pass or fumble stuff is becoming old. Brady's play STILL looks like a fumble after all these years, and yesterday's play looked like a pass. Even though I knew what the ruling would be, as I am aware of way the rules are written, it still just doesn't look right.

As far as the helmet to helmet contact, that is just something that is new that no one is used to yet, not even the officials. I hate seeing the aggression taken away, but I hate worse seeing former NFL players who literally don't know their own names.

Uncreative people do not deserve a public format?

Haha, easy there, Pick. You may find yourself without a job.

Let's go through your mass collection of blog topics: "Medium Game Bob," "ESPN sucks," "The BCS is a joke."

Rinse, wash, repeat.

That about sums it up.

Apparently I offended the Pick's girlfriend, traija50.

Haha, I really doubt anyone who uses terms like "oswho" is the best judge of creativity.

Any other highly educated insults, traija50? Or should we all wait until recess is over for you to gather new material?

D-MANN: Yeah, empty hand, that's what a lot of them mentioned. It sounds pretty self-explanatory, if the ball is out before the arm moves forward, fumble. If not, pass. But didn't it look like his arm was moving forward before the ball was out?

That WAS the difference in the game.

It wasn't a simple turnover, it was a turnover/TOUCHDOWN.

Here's a mini-update on a subject we brought up last week, the two media-loved mini-guards from this area. OSU's guy was something like 1-7 in threes, last game, our cat Fido and I scored the same as the Arkansas guard versus Florida. Zero.

Mara-Mickey - 1st, your sentence is actually a question, usually followed in the English written language with a question mark. Second, I'm thinking you both should come out. Your lives would be so much easier to live. Be proud!

And you Sir, sure do have to put up with a lot of garbage and fruitcakes on these incredibly stupid (for the 90% most part)comments on your column.

I enjoyed both games,though as usual, many bad calls. Call it human error. It's just sports and most of us will live to cheer and jeer the next game as well.
