Absolute brainless interviewer. So bad. But I am glad this franchise is taking it's lumps nationally now. Rome is awesome. I have been a clone since the late 90's, and listen every day.

I mean do we really need our professional sports teams with official statements about every single thing that happens in the country? I can honestly say I haven't watched a single minute of Sixers basketball, an inning of Phillies baseball or even an entire Flyers game this year. Even when watching highlights of the Eagles 2020 season you're reminded of how much this stuff is plastered all over the field. Politics have found their way in to sports and unfortunately it's not going away. Did we really need VOTE painted on the fields and the countless other messages on the sidelines, endzones, hats, helmets? I'm going to sound like an old timer here but I want to turn on a game and watch football and just lose track of all the other crap happening in our world for 3 hours. Not anymore. Meh, Do what I do. DVR the games, skip through all the BS, including the national anthem (political pandering is why it became a "tradition") and just watch the games. I treat political messaging like commercials, I do my own research on politics and goods I buy, I won't listen to people trying to sell me goods or their point of view.

But like the previous poster stated, this draft is going to be littered with soft stories and political messaging when all we want to know is who the pick is and breakdown the fit on their new team. None of this Tom Rinaldi type reporting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austinfan Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Turn the sound off, focus on the list of top players still available, and hit the internet to find out about the player they just chose. Saves a lot of time, and you can do something else while you watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blindside Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Stingley and Horn.. two top 15 NFL draft pick corners... Devonta beat both of those guy for touchdowns, in press man... but he’s not gonna be able to play in the NFL because of his size... but Horn and Stingley... theyre top NFL prospects. Sounds like a lot of mental gymnastics and overthinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll likely be watching Bleacher Report, TDN or whatever else I can find instead of ESPN/ABC. I loved ESPN when Gruden was on. He was the first analyst to break down their flaws.

It wasn’t just a puff piece ESPN hit its peak in the early 2000s. They had great commentators, Sports Center still ruled. How many of us made sure we watched both morning and evening SC broadcasts? I know it was a part of my daily routine. It's pretty remarkable to go back and watch clips of the old shows. Highlight after highlight. SC is unbearable now. You had the Sports Reporters on Sunday morning if you wanted the sappy sob story. NFL Primetime was all about the highlights. Not nextgen stats, over/unders and all of this other BS they have now. ESPN2 was there for the Xtreme Sports and smaller conference games. I turn on ESPN for College Gameday, all the NCAA games they carry and College Football Final. For the draft i flip between ESPN and NFLN depending on what they are covering. If I see an interview coming up I flip. Keep the laptop open and read stories more than watch.

He played one game vs UGA, one game vs LSU, and one game vs OSU. The other 10 games are basically foregone conclusions before they start. And top-notch DBs every day in practice.

At least he pointed out what they need to do better. I remember clearly of him talking about the Oregon DE (drawing a blank) that Miami traded up for. He basically said he didn’t get the pick because he barely played. But he also puffed up Johnny Football haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the concern. As a top half first round pick you’re counting on that player to be the alpha dog of the offense, the volume producer. He’ll be absorbing a lot of contact. There’s no question Smith would be the best WR the Eagles have the moment he steps on the field, so I’m not trying to say I’d be livid if he were the pick. I’d be apprehensive, though.
