Dan2330 Posted January 2, 2005 Report Posted January 2, 2005 My Reviews:CBS: B-Good job adding Sharpe (in place of Deion), fun watching Marino reactions each week as Manning went after his record, Boomer is soild (needs to stop plugging his MNF radio show). Thurston Long stupidfys the show, need to cut him like a cheap free agent. The buzzard game is annoying, those things look like something you find in a Jeopardy board gameFOX: C-Grade is getting worse and worse each year, losing Collinsworth still hurts this lineup- Jimmy Johnson looks out of place still. NFC is not a fun thing to watch the last couple of years, this hurts the pregame show also. Letting Ford Motor Company dicate the show by making them do pre game shows the last two years in misserable Detroit. Only thing saving them from a D is that Terry's Ten is actually pretty funnyESPN: C-Got to be hard to do 2 hours, especially when 70% of the viewers change the channel one hour in, by then most can't wait to get away from Micheal Irvin. Steve Young still looks lost, Tom Jackson and Berman do a better job on Primetime than on the pregame. Chris Motensen is holding this boat together, he is by far the best NFL insider in the business Quote
bengalboomer7 Posted January 2, 2005 Report Posted January 2, 2005 ESPN is still the best and sadly to say I actually prefered DEION! Sharpe is horrible and we all still hope Irvin gags himself to death on his next coke line! Even though it's not a pre games show I prefeer Inside the NFL on HBO to all of them -even primetime Quote
San Antonio Bengal Posted January 2, 2005 Report Posted January 2, 2005 Not a pre-game show, but I have to agree that INFL is the best of any, pre-game or post-game. Although Costas can get annoying at times... Quote
bengalboomer7 Posted January 2, 2005 Report Posted January 2, 2005 I agree, I always say that Costas is a poor mans Dennis Miller, gret vocab, just not quit on Millers level Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted January 2, 2005 Report Posted January 2, 2005 Well you asked who had the "best" pre-game show, which to me implies a single answer, not a arbitrary grading system. IMHO, even though saddled with the NFC lineup, Fox had the most palatible and knowlegeable hosts for an NFL pre-game show. For me, Terry and Howie can't be beat as for former players working behind the mic. I'm probably biased here due to the fact I grew up watching these two guys play, and play WELL in the NFL.I don't get the NFL network, so I haven't seen INFL. Quote
bengalboomer7 Posted January 2, 2005 Report Posted January 2, 2005 INFL is on HBO, but don't worry about not having NFL network, your not missing anything. That "dumb, goofy, hilljack" persona Bradshaw puts on drives me crazy!! I'll give you Howie though, he is fabulous! Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted January 2, 2005 Report Posted January 2, 2005 INFL is on HBO, but don't worry about not having NFL network, your not missing anything. It's on HBO!?! HBO blows, unless of course you like watching the same (decent) 4 movies and 2 specials for a month. And another thing...how can it be a "pre-game" show if no games ever follow the show? IMO, if your network doesn't televise games...you're irrelevant. Quote
bengalboomer7 Posted January 2, 2005 Report Posted January 2, 2005 Yeah, I said it wasn't a pre game show, and I agree HBO sucks a big one, but if you want a really good recap of each week watch this show, it beats them all! Quote
WHO DEY AGAIN? Posted January 2, 2005 Report Posted January 2, 2005 Why does every pre game show have at least one goofball that ruins the show? Marino/Sharpe, Bradshaw/ Johnson, and Irvin. Who's the idiot that comes up with the Thurston Long skits on CBS? That s**t is just stupid. At least FOX skits are funny sometimes. I would like to see James Brown, Esiason, and Tom Jackson teamed up. Quote
