My worst nightmare (1 Viewer)

[Pittsburgh United]

Why did ESPN put mush-mouth Emmitt Smith on the Countdown crew? More importantly, how long until they see what a horrible decision it was? He has trouble thinking on the fly, constructing complex sentences, and he grates on my nerves worse than anyone not named Paul McGuire. While pumping the Denver O-Line, Emmitt lauded the team's record of producing 1,000 yard receivers. There were other misstatements and miscues, but I was too busy throwing up to write them down. Emmitt's locution skills make Michael Irvin seem like Churchill.

I'm not going to be able to stomach too much of Emmitt and his con-artist smile, constantly talking about how NFL stars need to concentrate on "they bidness."

How long until TJ soberly asks Emmitt "Are you ######ed?" (Not sure why this is blocked on the FBG board - the word I used here means "a little behind in development," and is what TJ asked Irvin last year.)

Someone at ESPN get your head out of your rectum! The crew you have assembled would be perfect without this guy!

I agree. I never thought I'd say it, but they've downgraded from Irvin. And what's up with bringing in Keyshawn??At least Steve Young & T Jax are in the mix, those guys are solid, I'm a fan of both.

You know, I actually like Keyshawn's analysis, much more so than Young's. Young is given to hyperbole. He reminds me of Sean Salisbury in that regard. I find it impossible to take either of them seriously.

 

[Keith Lewis]

I like them all except for Emmitt, I thought Keyshawn was very solid. Outside of the booth I've always like Emmitt and never like Keyshawn but think Keyshawn is much better in this capacity. Maybe give Emmitt a couple of weeks to see if he can correct himself. When Marshall Faulk joined NFL total access I thought he was absolutely awful and that he has now became very good to the point where I enjoy listening to Faulk. Maybe Emmitt can do the same turnaround.

you #@$! racists.

These guys have STREET CRED......that's what I'm talkin 'bout

 

[greenline]

I don't know fellas. I think Emmitt was spot-on when he named Travis Henry as his "impact rookie" for 2007.

 

[Godsbrother]

I'm not saying I disagree with you guys (cause I don't) but it seems no matter who they add they stink.

I was watching that trying to imagine the producers behind-the-scenes an their reaction....

I concurI thought Keyshawn came off very stable with his insight and analysis.

 

[The Kansas Comet]

As much as I hate to say it (because I have loathed Keyshawn since his Toe-jam days in college), Keyshawn appears to be a good addition. Emmitt...not so much.

Emmit's "clapping" into the mic was driving me crazy.
