He was interviewing the Rams Quarterback Jim Everett, who was known for having "happy feet" a.k.a being jittery in the pocket. Anyway, this little moron Rome keeps calling Everett, who came off a as really low key classy type of guy, Chris, as in the female tennis player. Well, he said it one time too many and Everett knocked over the table and chairs between them to beat Rome like something out of UFC.

However, since this is a fully ESPN tilt...I'll play along. <BR/><BR/>@Cold Pizza..."they remind you of those two old fucks in the balcony who used to talk shit on "The Muppet Show", only those puppets at least were entertaining." O.K..that was a very funny line and I agree with you 100 percent. I didn't think Dana Jacobson was all that good as SportsCenter anchor but the Cold Pizza show looks like a good fit. Yeah. She got a little junk in the trunk for a white girl. <BR/><BR/>@Jim Rome is Burning: Someone needs to get a can of lighter fluid and strike a match on this piece of shit show. Absolutely dreadful show.<BR/><BR/>@Around the Horn...Max Kellerman was WAY BETTER HOST...but Toni Reali (I can't believe that this is this dude's real name) is alright. It would be nice to see more of a variety of columnists and less Woody Paige. <BR/><BR/>@Quite Frankly with Stephen A. Smith...quite frankly this show is garbage and maybe the folks in Bristol, Conn. have finally started to see this. It started in the 6 p.m. slot on ESPN2 and now it is in the 11 p.m. slot on ESPN opposite of SportsCenter. Next, it will be the 2 a.m. slot on ESPN2 and then off the air for good. <BR/><BR/>@Pardon the Interruption...I like this show and I like the chemistry between the Washington Post's Michael Wilbon and Tony Kornheiser.Sherlon Christiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15935091177837101001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9807422.post-1138925521405248702006-02-02T16:12:00.000-08:002006-02-02T16:12:00.000-08:00God, I miss home.

He's loud, hot air and annoying.<BR/><BR/>As for Stphen A., I gotta give dude props. He brings a balance to the White dominated sports commentator. What I like about him is that he often says what I'd want to say. And when the NBA enforced the dress code and fined players for wearing the official Reebok sponsored shorts for being too long, he was the only one who spoke on it as a stab at Black players.<BR/><BR/>I don't agree with dude all the time, but I sure like his ass for being 2 faced and diplomatic. I think Kobe is bigger mark for going on his show. He knows Stephen don't give a shit about him. Kobe needs good press--81 points or not. Nonetheless, I think you could reconsider "Quite Frankly" for an 8 rating rting simply because it's more than 1 point better than "Around the Horn" and "Cold Pizza" <BR/><BR/>Lastly, I gotta mention Sports Center because I watch it about at least 4 times a night. Although I like SC, I tolerate it when the White dudes spit out Hip Hop slang to spice up the highlights. I'm still waiting for Stewart Scott to break out with a "Yee Haw!" on a Shaq highlight.<BR/><BR/>PTI is flawless.

Since most of these people are white it's sort of strategic way of "sticking it to the man." For instance when he slammed on Larry Brown for sabotaging the Olympic team with bad coaching. He coached horribly and his ability to adjust our defensive posture in the Olympics was a debauchery. <BR/><BR/>example:<BR/>-Lithuania hit an ungodly 21 3-pts on us!<BR/>-We lost to Puerto Rico?<BR/>-Benching Carmelo/Starting Carlos boozer<BR/><BR/>The caliber of players we had should of mopped the Europeans with drano, but they were coached by the worst leadership in Olympics history.<BR/><BR/>PTI is an excellent show. I've been following Kornheiser and Wilbon for years in the Washington Post. They're probably the best sports writers in country. When they got thier own show it was icing on the cake.Inside Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04355812934087179553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9807422.post-1138836476780869982006-02-01T15:27:00.000-08:002006-02-01T15:27:00.000-08:00I like how you rate so many of these shows based o...I like how you rate so many of these shows based on their "Kobe-love." ;)<BR/><BR/>I LOVE PTI. I was tivo-ing it every day, but it became a bit much. But, I still try and watch it as much as possible. ATH was better with Kellerman and the dude with the dreads (I can't believe I can't remember his name. Was it Micheal Smith?). <BR/><BR/>I saw Steven A. Smith a few years back co-hosting the NBA draft. He was ripping Jay Bilas a new one for something. It seems like he's always about to make someone feel really stupid. Although I haven't really watched his show on ESPN, I love him for his usual brutal honesty. Can't speak for how he may have interviewed Kobe, though.Reese The Law Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14673830176464850967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9807422.post-1138835462298654592006-02-01T15:11:00.000-08:002006-02-01T15:11:00.000-08:00The other night, as I watched him give a very flow...<I>The other night, as I watched him give a very flowery interview to Kobe Bryant, I really thought that Steven A. was going to ask Kobe if he could service him orally.</I><BR/><BR/>You know, I was running when I saw the re-run of this interview on ESPN, and I nearly broke a leg, staring at the screen in awe, thinking something relatively along the same lines. <BR/><BR/>Great post.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07664879185687579509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9807422.post-1138830446261768012006-02-01T13:47:00.000-08:002006-02-01T13:47:00.000-08:00skip bayless looks like a puppet, too. all that ma...skip bayless looks like a puppet, too. all that makeup and it does NOTHING for his looks. and i think half the time he disagrees with woody because if he agreed, folks would assume skip wanted to fuck woody, which i don't think would be too far an assumption to make.<BR/><BR/>jim rome is a douche. next.<BR/><BR/>i used to watch around the horn when it first hit the air, but i don't check it out as much as i used to. it's just as you said...the same cats rant about the same shit, have the same opinion day in and day out. they're just massaging their egos on that show. it's not like they're even trying to be persuasive at this point. they're not trying to convince you their point is correct. they know they're right and if you don't agree, that means you're an idiot. i will say that dialogue they had regarding the saints leaving new orleans was pretty hot. michael smith ripped all those cats a new one, he was so pissed.<BR/><BR/>i remember when stephen a. smith was on 'best damn sports show period'. he and salley used to get into it all the time. that's when i realized smith was little more than alot of hot air. salley always called him on his shit and smith would get pissed off about it like a little bitch. meanwhile, he NEVER gave any information that the casual basketball fan wouldn't have found out if he or she picked up a newspaper. in other words, cat is redundant. LOUDLY redundant.<BR/><BR/>pardon the interruption is my favorite sports show. you pointed out all the reasons why...great chemistry between tony and mike, the segments are awesome (i especially love good cop/bad cop cuz they've gotta defend a position even if they don't agree with it personally), and mike pulls out that race card with authority, like an ace of spades he's about to slap down on the table to finalize the boston he just ran on the chumps playing against him.<BR/><BR/>but where is 'best damn sports show period'? while i think the folk there have to be surgically extricated from pete rose's nutsack, they give some decent interviews and john salley makes that show. his daily battles with rodney peete are funny as hell. it's kinda like watching the brotha with the ghetto pass get into a verbal battle with the brotha whose only knowledge of the ghetto came from watching 'good times'. it was better when john kruk and tom arnold and michael irvin were on the show, but it ain't bad now.nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06971419502034051817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9807422.post-1138824430703356922006-02-01T12:07:00.000-08:002006-02-01T12:07:00.000-08:00Skip Bayless has such an unnatural hatred of T.O. ...Skip Bayless has such an unnatural hatred of T.O.
