BringBackFergy Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 After Colin Cowherd left ESPN they filled his spot with the Dan LeBatard show...I gotta tell you. I think he's hilarious and the show actually appeals to a sports fan like me. I say that because he doesn't take sports so seriously that it becomes repetitive. For instance, they had Mel Kiper on the show and he told Kiper straight up "I'm waking off the set right now and the other guys will interview you because I think your job is ridiculous" (paraphrased). He also mocks the sports analysts who say things like "I have North Carolina winning the tournament because you can't beat their bigs down low" which really means, "You don't know the names of the big guys under the basket so you just call them "The Bigs" Anyway, he does this great bit called "What People Look Like" and listeners text/email descriptions of "what people look like" (The Jim Tomsula, Tim Kirkjian, Rob Ryan ones are great for example). Here's a few more. So have at it Two Bills Drive, post a picture and then put the title under the picture. If we come up with some good ones, I'll see if I can email them to the show. My attempt: "Adam Schefter looks like the guy on late night tv who promises financial freedom in exchange for six easy installments of $49.99" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maury Ballstein Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Listen to Lebatard and Stugotz everyday. Might like stugotz's game notes segment over the look like game but both are awesome. Some of my favorites --Jim Tomsula looks like the first guy that shows up to date your mother after the divorce --Jeff VanGundy looks like the mortician that eats a sandwich while he works. --Mike Golic, Richie Incognito and others look like the construction crew that catcalls women.

snafu Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Le batard is funny. His show is funny and the 'what people look like' part is the best. Someone should tell Stugotz that he has to stop constantly chuckling in the background. Otherwise, the show is good for people who are sick of the usual sports talk or call in shows.

Yeah, that's what I think as well. I can handle only so much of "Hahn and Humpty" spouting off about their knowledge of sports or Stephen Smith and that knucklehead who argues with him every day....it gets draining. LeBatard and Stugotz admit they aren't in-depth sports analysts and have some extremely funny bits and interviews (Charles Barkley was great, Warren Buffett, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
