Somebody slap Jamie Dukes please (1 Viewer)

[Manster]

I'll listen to Jamie Dukes straight through for a year if I never have to hear Gus Johnson call an NFL game again.

Just hearing him during the clips they keep showing is enough to make me want to remove my ears with a cheese grater to make his voice go away.

Wow really? Man I love Gus Johnson, so exciting. Joe Buck is the one I can't stand. Just watch this clip, my personal favorite...

Aikman is money. Too bad you cant just mute Buck.

 

[Deadman31]

Sorry, the Sharpe brothers are absolutely the worst. I cant understand a word those two say. Cant wait to hear Shannons HOF speech.

 

[gerome]

What happened to Rod Woodson? I thought Eisen and Woodson were good. It's as if I can see Eisen cringe every time Irvin makes an appearance.

The mute button won't even end the annoyance. Watch Buck sometimes when Aikman is talking --- looking up at him with moist, doe-like eyes. It's uncomfortable.

He is coaching in Oakland now, probably no time to do NFLN shows now.

I cant believe the NFL network keeps trotting Dukes out there. The guy is awful. Not just the fact that he has no idea what he is talking about but he starts arguments and talks over people. He also talks at the same time, making it impossible to hear either person. Horrible TV. Warren Sapp is awful too. Sorry, but he is. He makes Emmitt Smiff look like a great broadcaster.

They need to bring Trent Green and Kurt Warner back with Mike Mayock. Best on NFL network.

These guys are bums.

 

[kinglochness]

Oh my god, did you guys see how NASTY Lombardi treated Dukes? That was the highlight of my week, Dukes is an idiot.

watching it right now............Dukes is backpedaling big time after Lombardi beotch slapped him. pretty funny.for me, Dukes is hard to listen to because he just seems to like to hear himself talk. even if he's making good points i drift off cause he's annoying. making his points while saying less might do him some good.

I agree wholeheartedly. He reminds me of a louder Colin Cowherd. He's so interested in telling you how right he is, it's hard to digest what point he thinks he's so right about sometimes. If you can stand the beating of listening to him, he'll surprise you and make some great points sometimes.

 

[Andrew Garda]

The rest I would rather have news type, nerdy white guys who never played a down in their lives but are good for TV a la Eisen.

I keep sending in my resume and they won't get back to me.

 

[Hüsker Brü]

I actually like Dukes. Sapp and Irvin, too, even though I hated both of them as players.

Lombardi is the guy I can't stand. If he's delivering news, fine. But he comes off as unintelligent whenever he's weighing in on matters of opinion. Hard to believe he was a high-ranking player-personnel executive.

 

[Shane Falco]

Warren Sapp is awful too. Sorry, but he is. He makes Emmitt Smiff look like a great broadcaster.

ummm, no. No one can do that

Not a good one

This. The only thing he loves more than his own voice is patting himself on the back - in his own voice.I honestly can't think of a single former-player-turned-pundit that I like.

Baldy / Sterling on AFC/NFC Playbook are great but I'm sure I'd sour on them if I had to hear them every night.

Heaven on TV would be a set that only had Eisen and Mayock. Throw in the chickies for eye candy, in short stints.

OH BULL####!

this is such a trite complaint that can be lobbed at anyone. Is there anyone on TV, especially in the realm of ex nfl athletes as commentators who doesn't like to hear himself talk, think he's the shiznit? Really?

I think people just don't like that Dukes truly 'keeps it real' and often offers a viewpoint that is pro player, largely due to the fact that he is a former player and has that perspective. In todays day and age of agent/player rep team spinning and regurgitation of the same old rehashed cliches. the keys to today's game are gonna be turnovers, big plays and whichever teams has the will to win etc. Pure blather. :yech:

Instead he often offers key insights on techniques and the inner workings of the game, especially in the trenches. He offers insights into the minds of today's NFL athletes, which surprise surprise is a lot like Dukes. Egotistical, pampered, spoiled and self righteous. It comes off even morseo since most NFL analysts/TV suits etc are all such kiss asses trying to keep their 'contacts' open so they can get scoops early and whatnot... enjoy. I'd prefer some analysis from a former player, who isn't PC at all and will 'keep it real' when discussing the intricacies and subtexts that is the backdrop behind the game that we all know and love.

The same could be said in many ways for Irvin, but he's not nearly as smart or insightful as Dukes. But again it does offer insight into the minds of the FL athlete, and you can see how these athletes can have huge holdouts/make such colossal asses of themselves at times if they surround their selves with yes men who won't ever say a negative thing to or about the spolied athlete.

case in point some nerdy white dude I never heard of is giving his take on 'how training camp is' sounds like he might be reading a press sheet given by the team, but with zero insight into what is going on truly on the field. "you see plaxico and mark sanchez talking... building that relationship" (which the next announcer chimed in is 'fascinating' to watch "it almost looks like he is explaining the plays to him )

I'll take a dukes who would say "the players re psyched because they don't have to do 2 a days this summer and only need a week of training camp, that's why they are smiling. But then the OP et al would find that smug. I find it informative.

Oh and then nerdy white guy starts quoting rex ryans tweets about his new tattoo. WTF? Is this Tiger Beat??

 

[Hipple Long Ware & Peete]

lol I meant NFL athlete, but clearly the Florida athlete is apropos.

 

[cr8f]

Of people on NFL N I do like -to complement Deion, Irvin, Dukes, Mariucci

They have good people but the interview with Michael Irvin this last week was awful.

Solomon Wilcotts

Baldinger

Rich Eisen

Marshall

Sterling Sharpe

Tom Waddle(few times he's on)

Mayock of course

Charles David

Derrin Horton

Scott Hanson

Lombardi

Burmeister

 

[Carver]

Sorry, the Sharpe brothers are absolutely the worst. I cant understand a word those two say. Cant wait to hear Shannons HOF speech.

Are you serious? Sterlin is one of the most well spoken people on the Network IMO.

 

[THE HITTER]

I like Jamie Dukes. Possibly because I used to listen to him and christopher rude on their morning show in the atl. Good guy. Bit of a goofball, but he knows his stuff. I think everyone just likes to hate on everybody.

Little known fact. It was Jamie Dukes 'defensive line university' training program that whipped haynesworth into shape (and taught him techniques) when he came back from suspension. I believe that after he signed that big deal he quit working out with him as well IIRC.

Incorrect fact. It was Chuck Smith's (former All-Pro DE for Atlanta Falcons) camp called 'Defensive Ends, Inc'. I stopped by several times and saw Haynesworth (and several others) working out with Chuck at a local high school just outside of Atlanta. Chuck used the new high school's fields/facility for several years as the home of his training program.

 

[Northbound Train]

Sapp can't spit out a sentence b/c Dukes is constantly interrupting.

God I can't stand that baffoon

 

[Demian]

Most people can't stand Irvin but to me Sapp is worse. Half the time I'm not even sure he's speaking english.

 

[T with T]

I know I love Gus Johnson He is exciting... Joe buck should stick to baseball.... also that gumble clown and collinsworth are pretty horrible.

Are you serious??? Sterlin LOL can't even finish a sentence without fumbling, bumbling his words. he looks like Mr. Ed with a speech impediment. Lombardi, eisen and Marshall faulk are the 3 best on the Network.

Do it. Dukes is AWFUL.

 

[Raider Nation]

I gotta tell ya. I've grown to hate Fran Charles. He's a terrible host.

Nice guy and all, but count the "Uhhhhhhs" next time you watch Total Access. It's out of control.

I'm taking this straight from the DVR:

"Alright, uhhhh, Michael Lombardi with the uhhhh front office view of uhhhh what is important for week 2 of the preseason in the National Football League along with uhhhh, some of the uhhhh key concerns for some of the teams. We take a look at, uhhhh, all the acquisitions uhhhh that uhhhh Philadelphia had uhhhh coming into this uhhhh 2011 uhhhh NFL season. It's a uhhhh uhhhh long list, including Cullen Jenkins."

I SWEAR I did not embellish that one bit. You can see that exact quote 32 minutes into tonight's Total Access.

 

[AngryPatriot]

I think we're ready for some football!

 

[DoubleG]

Jeebus. Just get Howie Long. Best. Former. Player. Analyst. Ever.

Out.

 

[Raider Nation]

I think we're ready for some football!

YOU AIN'T KIDDING!!!

 

[loose circuits]

i can't figure out who is worse between Jamie Dukes and Jason LaCanfora. Neither are very good at their job for different reasons. Dukes just makes things up at times to fit his argument while LaCanfora just flat out makes things up.

 

[Hastur]

According to Wikipedia, his full name is Jamie Dickwhistle Dukes.

Time to change that middle name to "Latrine" ETA: :IBTL:

Any "Men in Tights" references are in my book.

I unfollowed Dukes on Twitter because the guy can't figure out how to post under 140 characters. Every single one of his tweets is over 140 characters and forces you to click on a link to read the rest. Incredible annoying. That, and he feels the need to respond to every hater which just creates more haters. I don't need my twitter feed cluttered with responses to haters that I can't even read because they're over 140 characters! Goodbye Dukes, you're a moron.
