He does.

I'm used to dumb comments by Jackson but this one tops everything.

Any commentary that begins with, "Tom Jackson Says".. should be ignored.

I heard that too, couldn't believe he could be that stupid.

IF tebow cares about what whoever-reporter say, he should lose. if he dont, good for him and all those can go fts.

I also heard Rob Parker and one local media member say the same thing.
I think if was Tony Mazz.

Unbelievable !

What do they think Belichick would have done if the Patriots won the coin toss?

If Belichick defered, would he have not faith in Brady ?

How do these people have jobs?

Because they know how to get people to react to what they say and get people making threads like this one. That is what they are going for, a reaction.

I'm amazed that Jackson is employed and paid well to provide his often ridiculous opinion. I can only hope that BSPN finally loses faith with him, and that he is sent out to pasture.

Tom Jackson really does give credence to the phrase '...if you had a brain you'd be dangerous.'

Trocadile · 01-17-2012, 06:44 AM

In fairness to Jackson, there are many other "analysts" who analyze the coin-toss decision as if there was still no option to defer. In the old days, it did mean something significant when a coach chose to kick off. Now, of course, all it means is that the coach prefers to get the ball at the start of the second half, but some old-time commentators can't seem to make this simple adjustment in their thinking.

I think mods need to have a rule that fires upon posting when the term "Tom Jackson" get posted and subsequently immediately gets deleted.

ESPN...let me make this perfectly clear, I hate their analysts.

It's been all about GameDay morning for years....

Dikta...Stop it.
Keyshawn...all about me
Carter...straight up homie
Jackson...too smart
Berman...act getting a bit old

Mort and Adam are the only two guys I don't mind on that show...

Hey Shannon,

Where was the call to the National Guard since the New England Patriots were killing the Denver Broncos?

Thanks you! I was screaming this at the game after the half...nobody around me got it!
