Kyle Brandt.

Erdahl/mccourty and I'd be happy 

[SCBills]

I like Stephen A.  Works his butt off and is entertaining and relatively open minded.   I can’t imagine any scenario he gets let’s go.  
 

Bonnetta was cute and pretty funny.  
 

ESPN is a disaster outside some mainstays and people like Orlovsky.  Half the network openly pushes half the potential audience away… which is an interesting business tactic.   Stan Verrett, latest example.

It’s funny, but when we all hunkered down it was about being entertained at home (lots of streaming)…and puppies. People figured I’m going to be home, now is the time to get a dog and train it. We were already on the list for a pup and our breeder said if he had 100 puppies he could have sold them in a weekend. 

 

I don’t want anyone to lose their livelihood, but I try to avoid Booger just as much as Stephen A. I never liked him, but he strongly agreed with the Cody Ford crack back block penalty in the playoffs. The call the league later apologized for. Since then I’ve been waiting for him to say something intelligent. Still waiting.

You’re on thin ice there, buddy! I may look into having my central vac system blow directly into your house. You will think you live in a snow globe!

I'm surprised about Rachel Bonnetta. She had a big role on that channel

[ganesh]

It is really sad to hear this especially when you also hear the previous day that the commissioner is going to get a even bigger check that is much bigger than what the best player in the game earns.

Kyle Brandt.

This is the worst take possibly of all time.  Kyle Brandt does a great job and he promotes the Bills, Josh Allen and Western New York unlike anyone else.

yeah, puppies, pools, and motor homes/campers. The world went crazy for that stuff at that point.

He has a weird way of showing that he is a Bears fan.

Peter Schrager is the epitome of a no talent chump who probably never played a sport in his life.

 

Bonnetta is also awful, and they already employed a hotter and better woman in Cynthia Freuland

 

I haven't watched ESPN in about two years, but there isn't one person I can think of that I would miss on that network 

[Draconator]

Suzy Koelber was good, but she's gotten tired. Her time is up to go.

The only one I still actively enjoy is Michael Wilbon. I would miss him.

He is, but man it's tiring listening to his rhetoric. 

 

I used to like him, but as he's shoved on the screen more and more it turns to dislike.

I disagree with not being genuine. He’s enamored with Bills fans and Buffalo.

Give Brandt a break.  Don’t you guys remember non one, and I mean no one but boomer as a bills fan in the nfl national media.  At least we have Brandt, Schein, and as always boomer ( no one circles the wagons) and even a couple others as rooting for us.  It provides a little more balance than the constant hate for the bills.

[GolfandBills]

Can they let go of Lebron James?

[NeverOutNick]

I used to love watching good morning football but that new girl is unbearable. No football knowledge and always interrupts with useless interjections. Kyle Brandt, Peter Schrager, and Devin McCourty should just host without anyone else honestly. Maybe bring in a new guest each week to fill the fourth slot or hire Mike Golic to host lol

[wppete]

ESPN needs to layoff their whole roster. They are all awful. An embarrassment.

I actually like their sportscenter guys like Randy Scott but yes the talk show cast is absolutely awful. Once Mike and Mike left it was game over

Only Boomer is the actual Bills fan.

It’s hilarious actually-so many spent such a long time on here feeling the media “disrespected” the Bills with the lack of coverage and finally the Bills turn it around, get some national guys on our side and the same people are like “no, not like that.” As if being loud and obnoxious isn’t what every fan is at a home game

Kyle Brandt.

Even if you don't like him, you have to admit he is very popular. He isn't getting the ax any time soon.

The Bills do not get constant hate from the national media. Those days are long gone. They are favorites in almost every single game. Virtually everyone is on board with Allen being an elite QB.

 

In fact the Bills, and especially McDermott, get far more respect from national sources than from a large contingent of Bills fans.

The remote control in my hand says I don’t have to watch that movie.

     Agreed. I don’t want to watch someone who is so narcissistic that they are only there to promote themselves ABOVE the actual sport they are hired to talk about and the only reason they are employed in the first place.   If he is playing , acting some part , he is in above his skill abilities, and it’s gotten old, when a loud hack thinks his Schtick is the main event.  I don't need to be entertained  by someone giving scores or a game synopsis , as the main source of entertainment i enjoy by choice is the actual sporting event itself. The myriad of talk shows , pre and post game shows , has exploded like a bunch of ticks /leeches , all fighting for relevance with more and more over the top acts that frankly shouldn’t survive or be missed if they disappear. 

 

       I dont need some wanna be comic commenting on my plumbers work, or doing YouTube videos while I’m suturing someone’s laceration.  How bout you go out and get some real life skills , produce something tangible, go do some labor or get a degree as a chemist /pharmacist so all of our medicines , PPE, industries are not all owned and being done in china for example?  It’s the same analogy with that guy constantly throwing out his narcissistic opinions without ever having enough talent to have played at any high level himself.  Buy into that stuff if you want too, but i am intelligent enough that i dont need to be spoon fed someone else’s insincere opinions just so he can be paid for something that is often wrong and has no long term tangible useful end product.

      If i want to see a movie, watch acting, watch fiction, i can turn on HBO max or Disney and at least there the quality of the performance and fiction is usually relaxing, not having someone shrieking their own opinions at me.  I will never understand how this guy is popular; all i will say is you rarely see many intellectuals talking about him or his great insights regarding many issues. 🤮

Anyone who sucks at their job should get fired. Period.

 

I'm sure they'll get plenty of unemployment benefits until they find another job to suck at. And then the cycle will continue.
