Marshall Faulk
 

Dont know if anyone saw him today on NFL network...as expected he was asked about this game and his take.
let me preface this..i watch all these picks just for interest of what analysis they might give which i as a fan might miss or as in this instance say something funny..

so marshall says - this is bigger game for new england...(for no reason)
then he says the colts will win it( andi dont have a problem with people making picks against my team) because .."the colts run D problems have been overstated and colts will score on the pats because they could on denver .."...was acceptable till then...but then he says.."the pats will have to throw the ball, to score and the receivers are not experienced enough for a big game"

what ?
Now this may end up happening who knows but it seems like he wants the pats to lose and making up reasons instead of believing what is saying...

and this isnt the first time..he has almost always picked against the pats this season, said miami will win the division,the jets will beat the pats, the vikings will beat the pats.-only time he picked us to win was against denver..his reason "tom brady does not lose at home guys"

..any ideas what history he has with us other than the superbowl to be so unobjective ?

Marshmellow Mellon isn't a very good candidate for the NFL Network.

But, neither is anyone else over there.

I can tolerate Rich Eisen, but almost everyone else there... s u c k s a s s...

Re: Marshall Faulk
 

The highest point in Faulk's career was the 60 seconds before the kickoff in the 2001 Super Bowl.

He's been drinking from the same trough as Shannon Sharp.:p

Re: Marshall Faulk
 

Its all related to the Super Bowl, he was a part of the greatest show on turf and we shut them down-BB has let it be known that Faulk was the game plan, if they contained him they win-well they won, so guess who isn't happy about being taken out of action that day?

Amen! The NFL network is full of well known ex-players. I guess if you want to put together a celebrity event or a stories for the ages show, these are your guys. A thoughtful insight channel it is not (at least not often enough). I think the NFL network thinks having well known names flapping their pie holes with not very well thought out points (like Marshall) is great entertainment. It is often unwatchable to me. This is not to say it is all lousy. Sanders with Mariucci are pretty good. Inside the NFL is still the better mid week fodder show (by a little bit to their discredit) imho. And the better after Sunday analysis show is Primetime imho. The NFL network often wins that one on volume of highlights though.

I agree 100 percent. Faulk can't even use the English language properly, and when you hear the guy sometimes you can't believe he ever played pro football. ESPN has better football analysts than the NFL Network.

Re: Marshall Faulk
 

he was drafted by and played a few seasons for the colts when they were in the AFC east. They weren't too good back then.
