Toyo321 Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 (edited) It is unbelievable how bad these media and radio personalities are with team & player analysis, game and matchup perspectives. One minute a team can be the best team in the league, and every one of these media clowns are spewing all this one sided commentary on how great that team is then the following week, that team is now the worst team in the league. If you could get real unbiased opinions from these guys I would not complain, but this rarely happens and all we end up with is a bunch of these media clowns dressing up like Pee Wee Herman in front of a national audience, and their acting is just as bad when they are on camera too. It is to bad that there are no true media personalities that are unbiased and you can actually respect for an honest opinion. As much as I hate to say it the only people I don't mind listening to now are Rex Ryan, Dan Orlovsky and Joy Taylor. My worst top offenders Stephen A Smith Colin Cowherd Bart Scott Mike Greenberg Ryan Clark Michael Irvin Feel free to make you own list but the choices of bad personalities out there are so many its staggering. It is unreal that they actually get paid for the garbage that comes out of their mouths. Edited September 30, 2023 by Toyo321 4 5 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffaloboyinATL Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 My 2 favorites are Dan Orlovsky and Mina Kimes. I learn something from each of them on a regular basis. He is very good at breaking down what happens on the field and she is really good at utilizing next gen stats to provide interesting insights regarding why teams are failing or succeeding. Other than those 2, it is mostly just people expressing their opinions, so I take it with a grain of salt. 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just named a bunch of TV talking heads, not serious analysts, and you left off the dumbest one of all, Terry Bradshaw. What did you expect? There are literally dozens of excellent NFL analysts out there, most of whom do podcasts that are either team specific (Like Joe Marino), or more focused on the whole league, like Ross Tucker, Greg Cosell and Phil Simms. Hell, even Bill Simmons often does a nice job, even though he is a Patriot homer and dislikes the Bills.

McMuffin Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 I listen to most of the commentary (especially when we win!) but take a lot of the “analysis” with a grain of salt as Stephen A. and the like are all about entertainment.

Don Otreply Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 You can get as good or better commentary here on this board, quite literally the vast majority of sports talk shows are a farce, it’s a contest of who’s suit is the most absurd, and who can spout off the silliest take and then pretend to take it seriously, it’s all scripted there is no thoughtful commentary for the most part. It much like “ truth in advertising “ it doesn’t exist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Orlovsky is one of the worst commentators on television, just as bad as RGIII... Colin Cowherd is usually about as honest as you can get... he chose to ignore the Jets hype and left them out of his playoff prediction because of their offensive line. Most of the others are Jets sycophants who want the Bills to lose. The choices are a reflection of the times... not a very good time for sports on TV.

Nephilim17 Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 (edited) Stop paying attention to national talking heads. There are 32 teams each with an active roster of 53, that's 1,696 active players every week in the NFL. You think Michael Irvin or Cowherd knows each team's roster well? They only know the top-line narratives that they're fed by their staff, I believe. For my money, for the Bills, look to Cover 1 (best detailed Xs and Os breakdown) Greg Cosell (great overall breakdown of the entire team), Kurt Warner's breakdowns (great analysis of Josh), and JT O'Sullivan (sharp QB analysis as well).
