Boom Goes the Dynamite Guy: I'll never be overshadowed.

Sergio Dipp: Hold my beer




That raspy voiced chick stuck together with Rex Ryan in the booth calling the Denver game was the worst part. Holy **** that was bad.


Bring back Phil Simms
 
I turned the sound off and put closed caption on
 
I have to agree with Rush. Poor guy. ESPN set him up for failure. They must have had an idea of what he was going to say. I didn't watch the game...will never watch ESPN again. Still trying to convince myself to cut the cord to hurt them even more.
 
this is a big part of ESPN's downfall. About 5 years ago, they simply quit hiring the best person for the job. It is clear that they now hire and give assignments based on a diversity quota and nothing close to merit. Trotting out this guy to be a sideline reporter is the perfect example of that.

It is clear that the main priority is race/gender first and ability second. Oh and if you didn't think that guy did a good job, you're a racist. They'll probably give him the ESPY for the courage award.

Perfectly illustrates the mindset of the folks running ESPN. Coach so-and-so is a great coach because he's "diverse". I'm a good broadcaster because I'm Mexican...and diverse. Identity politics. Real quick we'll be told that we're racist if we thought he did a bad job.
I rarely watch football games that the Steelers are not playing in but I will have to try to catch MNF now. This is comedy gold.
 
That game sounded like a Wednesday night game featuring two bottom-feeders in the MAC. When you are selling MNF as your premiere sports game of the week, you need to match it with the on-air talent.
 
I missed all of it lol. The sports social media is in a frenzy though.
So must be some bad stuff espn is doing

The bottom line, and what's hilarious and sad at the same time, is that this guy doesn't even understand why people are laughing and/or thinking he did a bad job because, well, I'm Mexican and diverse.
ESPN isn't going to change a damn thing either. They will keep pounding us over the head with "diversity".

Just watching Burgundy's clip was WAY more than I ever needed to realize ESPN sucks. I've known it for years but to try and stuff this down one's throat totally confirms I'll not be watching anytime soon. I could care less skin color / ethnic background, but to do a job you need the talent required to do the job.....not just a skin color.






Salute the nation

Nah, makes more sense than most . But you have to listen for at least a month before you get past your own hang ups.

MNF thought he was ok to listen to. Before he made some comments that pale in comparison to Jamele Hill.
 
I'd still rather have a generic woman as a sideline reporter. Eye candy is better than any dude in my book.

You're thinking old-school, man. Welcome to the new reality.

I have no hang ups at all, I just don't like being told what to think. By Rush or by lib media. I'm too much of a free thinker to enjoy being preached to.

I thought Rush ripped on McNabb and it became a racial issue. He would have been better than Dennis Miller, but it looks like the NFL has been getting politically charged announcers ever since the Miller hire.
 
Didn't watch a second of it. I think ESPN is going to continue losing viewers as they push their liberal agenda. Sports and politics should be kept separate. Sports are our escape, its entertainment. Let us enjoy the games and leave the bullshit to CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC and Fox
 
**** diversity. I want to see Maximum Violence Football..
 
I don't know what that guy was on about. Seemed like an awkward situation all around.
