They're all awful (Faulk) to mediocre (Woodson, Dukes). Schefter is spoon-fed info by the league -- they make it look like he digs for inside scoops, but he doesn't. Chuckles Eisen simply is a master of ceremonies and has no insight whatsoever to offer on anything. The others are former players who have no journalistic credibility or credentials. The station has too much repeat programming/commercials.
I share your disappointment. My biggest gripe is the prevailing notion that a player who had a good career is qualified to be an NFL television analyst. Marshall Faulk is by far the worst example of this I have ever seen. I'm sure there are many, many former players and non-player journalists or ex-coaches who could do a lot better job. Because of the emphasis on ex-players as commentators (at least the one's they've trotted out so far), the whole presentation is "dumbed down," so to speak.
SoonerPatriot OT: It needs to be said, the NFL Network has been a disappointment
Rich Eisen is awesome, and I want you to f*cking acknowledge it.
You are wrong.Rich Eisen is Howdy Doody in a suit. He knows very little about football, he's paid to be glib and keep the conversations flowing. I'll never forget him saying he was "outraged" over spygate last fall and referring to the Pats' "blatant cheating." :violent:
I had to shut the sound off during last nights game..
You are wrong.
