ESPN Personalities - Faves & Least Faves

[dignan]

I Enjoy:

Rece Davis (roll tide!), Karl Ravech, John Anderson, Brian Kenny, Jayson Stark, Kenny Mayne, Bob Ley. And I love Todd Blackledge on college football games. He's great on the taste of the town. I like John Kruk (although he gets whiny sometimes). and I like Andre Ware's cfb coverage for some reason. nice guys.

Charley Steiner, Rich Eisen and Dan Patrick were probably my favs ever (I wish they would come back... they were legendary)

Not Crazy About:

Chris Berman, Buster Olney, Joe Morgan, Holly Rowe, Skip Bayless, Kirk Herbstreit, Stuart Scott, Buck Showalter, Scott Van Pelt (sometimes).

oh, and that megadouche Jesse Palmer.

and that retarded black woman who's usually on First Take arguing with Skip Bayless. I don't know her name, but she's fat and is a complete fucking moron.

[StandMyBrothers]

Hate:
Tommy Smyth.

[Big_Guy]

how do you hate Buster Olney?


dude is awesome.



best is Peter Gammons though

Rece Davis (Bama alum... roll tide!), Karl Ravech, John Anderson, Brian Kenny, Jayson Stark, Kenny Mayne, Bob Ley and Todd Blackledge are all good IMO. I like John Kruk (although he gets whiny sometimes). and I like Andre Ware's cfb coverage for some reason. nice guys.

How?

[Sventhegreat]

I don't mind Chris Berman.

[dignan]

how do you hate Buster Olney?


dude is awesome.



best is Peter Gammons though

I like Gammons... he's not my favorite though. but Buster is just flat-out awful in my opinion. his reports are just bogus most of the time. I like that little weasle Tim Kurkjan more than him. but Stark is where it's at. the dude is a baseball encyclopedia and his columns are great.

How?

I almost didn't include him on my list. but he's just too fucking arrogant most of the time. i admit his sense of humor is great, and his commercials are the best. but he needs to get off of his high horse sometimes. he gets so defensive whenever someone argues with him.

this is all just opinion and personal preference though. i don't expect everyone to agree.

[The Fiancee]

i think scott van pelt is the man i dont see how you hate him. Buster, Berman, and Scott are pretty awesome to

[dignan]

I don't mind Chris Berman.

ever since I saw that youtube of him flipping out Bill O Reilly style, I've thought less of him.

and I hate having to hear him during the homerun derby.

[dignan]

I probably shouldn't have used the word "hate"... "could do without" would be more appropriate.

The only one of those on the list I truly hate is Joe "I'm in the Hall of Fame" Morgan. The most pompous, egotistical, self-absorbed, and racist douche ever.

[Sventhegreat]

Hid-n14yiyM

Yeah that was very over the top. It probably was just one of those days though, everyone has one. But christ!

[IcedOpethBlind]

Erin Andrews, Suzy Kolber, Wilbon, Kornheiser (as long as he's not on MNF), Trey Wingo, Woody Paige (usually), Adande

[nlcentralchamps]

Berman is an idiot.

[Sic Transit Zeb]

Those videos only made me like Berman more, to be honest.

[jco3]

berman does have a potty mouth, indeed.

[redskyformiles]

how do you not like SVP?
The only person that truly irks me on ESPN is Skip Bayless. that jackass needs to get punched in the face by lebron and get his mouth wired shut.

[joss d.]

svp is the man. love his radio show. the radio shows are pretty much the only things i enjoy anymore.

[Flags of Dawn]

Scott Van Melt.

[DaGaR]

and that retarded black woman who's usually on First Take arguing with Skip Bayless. I don't know her name, but she's fat and is a complete fucking moron.

that would be jemele hill. her writing is even worse than her tv appearances.

i like:
linda cohn, kenny mayne, svp, greenie and golic (most of the time), wilbon and kornheiser, michelle beadle, bill simmons

don't like:
skip bayless, jim rome, jon clayton, stuart scott

[Ben09]

Like: Mike and Mike, Wilbon and Kornheiser, Michelle Beadle, Erin Andrews, Wendy Nix(When she's wearing glasses), SVP, Simmons, Kenny Mayne, Collin, Skip and Dat Dude

Hate: Jemeale(sp?) Hill, Kruk, LeBatard, and there's plenty more.

[xbrokendownx]

Van Pelt and Anderson are great when they do sportscenter together

[zachff]

Kornheiser, Wilbon, Tony Reali, Neil Everett (THE MAN), Stan Verrett
That's really about it. Everyone else is either just mediocre (SVP) or retarded (Mike Golic).

[happygilmoreat]

I like the fantasy podcast guys
Matthew Berry, Nate Ravitz and Pod Vader

The football today and baseball today guys are alright too. Although
Jeremy Green can be a bit annoying when he yells

[imirish06]

Scott Van Pelt is easily the best person ESPN has. I like Jayson Stark too mainly because he has a Philly bias haha

[rcrook]

did he refer to her as "retarded black woman"? ban please.

FROM THE STATES EH?

[Colin1755]

erin annndrewwsssss

[Momo32T]

Rich Eisen was my favorite when he was still on. He just had to be whisked away by the NFL Network.

[shboom.]

reali, paige, wilbon, cowherd (does that count? i don't really watch tv his show, but i love his radio show).

i hatehatehate when jay mariotti is on around the horn. or anything else. i refuse to watch him.

[patpratt]

hannah storm is a princess and i dont care what anyone says.

[xbrokendownx]

Jeremy Schaap,

Annoying Jew,

ESPN.



:-|

[Dirty Ernie]

Those videos only made me like Berman more, to be honest.

hannah storm is a princess and i dont care what anyone says.

Yes and yes.

[xshady121]

Peter Gammons is the absolute worst. If he could ever manage to take the red sox dick out of his mouth long enough to give valuable insight, then he might be worth listening to.

Buster Olney is the best. Watching him deal with the garbage they surround him with is fun day in and day out.

[saveferris]

I like Stuart Scott

[Talib Scottie]

Berman is so annoying, only made worse by his Nutri-system and Applebees commercials (which is a conflict in itself).

[saveferris]

Like: Mike and Mike, Wilbon and Kornheiser, Michelle Beadle, Erin Andrews, Wendy Nix(When she's wearing glasses), SVP, Simmons, Kenny Mayne, Collin, Skip and Dat Dude

Hate: Jemeale(sp?) Hill, Kruk, LeBatard, and there's plenty more.
My absolute favorites. PTI and Mike and Mike in the morning are the best shows ever

[saveferris]

Berman is so annoying.
He can be.
I like how you live in Greenville. I'm in that town all the time.

[Talib Scottie]

He can be.
I like how you live in Greenville. I'm in that town all the time.

Sweet, yeah, just moved back here to go back to school actually.

[Trainsaw]

i don't mind many of them other than:

Keyshawn Johnson
Chris Berman
Colin Cowherd

[fightinirish217]

Erin Andrews, SVP, John Anderson, Kenny Mayne, Rich Eisen, Dan Patrick, my favorites. Also love Lee Corso at like 11:58 AM each Saturday when he puts on the headgear on Gameday. Also love PTI guys and Mike & Mike.

Hate the most, Jemele Hill (stupid woman mentioned by OP, Skip Bayless, and most of the baseball guys (Olney, Gammons, Kruk, etc). Thank God Steve Phillips is gone. Having to listen to Morgan and Miller can be very painful.

[marchofmarty]

Like: Hubie Brown, Scott Van Pelt, PTI guys, Around the Horn guys, Chris Berman, Barry Melrose, Dicky V, Erin Andrews, Colin Cowherd

Hate: Trent Dilfer (always funny when he is referred to as "our superbowl quarterback") and everyone on NFL Live, everyone on ESPN2 First Take, Mike and Mike, Jeff Van Gundy, Jaws, Jim Rome, the Sportscenter anchor that always does the "freeze it, frame it, that is your image of the week", John Clayton

I'm sure there are most for both lists but that is all I can think about. And if anyone is familiar with the local radio shows on ESPN1000 in Chicago I really like Waddle and Silvy's morning drive show. Mac, Jurko and Harry, the afternoon drive show was hard to tolerate but with Mac being gone and Carmen DeFalco taking his spot I find myself listening to it more often then I did before.

[dignan]

did he refer to her as "retarded black woman"? ban please.

she's not retarded because she's black. she's retarded because she's a big fucking idiot.

i only mentioned she was black because... well, there aren't many black personalities on ESPN and I didn't know the woman's name. stop trying to stir shit up and accuse me of being a racist just because you don't like me.

[dignan]

hannah storm is a princess and i dont care what anyone says.

I love her.

[patpratt]

I can't understand a word that comes out of Lou Holtz's mouth.

[dignan]

I can't understand a word that comes out of Lou Holtz's mouth.

you know, I can't either. and he is a complete moron as an analyst and offers no valuable insight .

but I really enjoy him being on ESPN... it's like unintentional comic relief whenever he steps in.

[Drew Beringer]

I love Colin Cowherd on the radio, don't care much for SportsNation he tries too hard, but the girl he is with could get it.

[TSTLSOOM]

idk if it counts but i LOVE Rick Reillys stuff. always have

[saveferris]

I can't understand a word that comes out of Lou Holtz's mouth.
he's about two breaths away from death

[Flags of Dawn]

keyshawn and ditka are great.

[Chris M.]

Chris Berman is the worst. How anyone can like him is beyond me.
