I can't stand the ESPN/ABC crew. I rarely watch their pre-game and halftime shows because they bore me. Plus, they don't have a post-game show. And Mark Jackson is one of the worst NBA commentators I've ever heard. It pains me to listen to him. In my opinion, Jeff Van Gundy is the only good thing about the NBA broadcasts on ESPN/ABC.

The NBA TV crew is OK, nothing special.

I love the guys at TNT. They are pure entertainment. They get off-topic, but you have to remember they're on TV a lot longer than the guys at ESPN/ABC. Sometimes they don't get off air until 2 a.m, so they have to find a way to keep things interesting. I know I wouldn't stay up til 2 a.m if all they did was talk about basketball.

TNT > ESPN/ABC

The ABC guys are boring, and count me in the minority but I think JVG SUCKS!!! He says something stupid every broadcast. Mark Jackson is a Kobe nut hugger. The TNT guys have their biases too, but they're much more entertaining and more direct in their analysis.

I didn't really like Jeff Van Gundy as a commentator at first, but he's grown on me for some reason.

Maybe it's because Mark Jackson is so bad.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO.

      Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
