I feel sorry for you

The only thing I do like about ESPN's coverage, is that they always have that best available player scroll going. I would like to see the NFLN do that with Mayocks' best available picks. Other than that though, ESPN can kiss my rear end...except for Gruden, that is.

I defiantly like the NFLN coverage and analysts better. Half the time the ESPN crew didn't even talk about the pics and their banter was ridiculously poor. I used to like Gruden but now he annoys me and the interviews they did were they basically tried to make the draftees cry were ridiculous.

I really like Mayock and Rich and they talked about way more picks but I will say this:

That ad in 1st person view, where the draftee meets all the celebrities and Newton is on Conan is the fuging stupidest thing I have ever seen. I don't care what anyone says it is bad.

Also the interview they opened day one of the draft with Primetime was hard to watch, I had to turn it to ESPN during that.

If you dont have nfln. I really enjoyed watching the draft this year with mayock, rich risen and the gang. Not once did I switch over to espn and thank god I didn't after hearing about how awful it was this year.

I feel like slapping you in a jealous rage. :D

ESPN's coverage was so god awful, that we just said to hell with it and went out fishing and listened on Siruis.

And now I've gotta a hella sunburn. :mad: Thanks a lot Charter Cable!

They didn't even show Hoover announce our pick! I was so angry when I saw him in the background while the analysts were running their mouths

Yeah, when that happened, I was throwing everything I had at the TV hoping Gruden/Kiper would STFU. (Luckily the only things in arms reach were pillows.)

The only good thing from ESPN's coverage was listening to Dilfer pop a squat and poo all over Seattle.

"I love Seattle, some of my best memories are from playing there. But everytime they make a pick, I just get angrier. I feel sorry for the guys in that organization."

:rofl:

ESPN sucked something special this year. I really wanted them to just STFU half the time and focus on the picks. While Todd Mcgay was up their running his cockholster guys were getting picked. And its just more that ESPN in general sucks on their analysis. It really is anoying the ignorance of that network about our organization.

I watched via....well lets just say I was watching NFL Network :biggrin:

forced to watch ESPN a couple of times bc of issues and I have to say its HORRIBLE. Trey Wingo is infinitely better than Berman, and yet he still couldn't save it. ESPN quit talking about the damn draft completely and start talking about other poo several times. Just horrible. fug them.

I saw a stat somewhere that said ESPN's coverage of the first draft day was down around 20% compared to last year. Now I can definitely see why. Mayock is so far ahead of McShay and Kiper it's not funny, plus his personality isn't nearly as grating as those two. Plus you get Rich Eisen who is the best of the whole lot.

      Predictions from Charlotte observer sports writers

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Fowler: Bucs 23, Panthers 16. Baker Mayfield only won a single game when he was an unimpressive Carolina starter, but somehow he’s 5-0 when playing AGAINST the Panthers. For the Panthers to pull off this upset, they’ll need to score at least in the mid-20s. With Tampa Bay relatively healthy following a mini-bye (and Mike Evans’ return is huge), it feels like this will be too tough a task. Kaye: Bucs 24, Panthers 20. The win-loss-win-loss streak comes to an end. It’s hard to trust the play-calling following the loss to the New Orleans Saints. The Panthers know what’s on the line, but they also knew last week, too. It’ll be close; I just have trouble trusting a positive outcome after a defeating one on the road. Zietlow: Panthers 38, Bucs 35. This prediction goes against conventional wisdom, but then again, conventional wisdom doesn’t seem to apply to these Panthers. This group, after all, has yet to lose back-to-back contests since Weeks 1 and 2. I think they win this one to make Week 18 interesting — and yes, that’s even with motivated Baker Mayfield and future Hall of Famer Mike Evans in good form. Why not?

      Week 16 - Other NFL Games

      Sam developed into a different player after he mostly sat for a year and learned a ton by being in that QB room under Shannahan in San Francisco.  Then he went to the Vikings who have a poo load of talent and another genius level offensive mind at HC in Kevin O Connel. I think they genuinely built up his confidence in a way he never did in New York or Charlotte.  He would not have been the same player if he stayed here IMO. Especially if he had been involved in that disaster season with Frank Reich in 2023, that might have cooked his confidence for good.  I guess you could argue we wouldn't have been that bad if we also kept cmc and dj i guess.

      Willis was impressive last night given the circumstances. GB and SF seem to just have it figured out as far as QB goes.   It's frustrating, but I enjoy seeing our old players find success elsewhere.
