When Jalen crushed the buildings it was a wrap. How anyone could take these dudes seriously after that sonning and it's aftermath is beyond me. I was literally sitting there watching like ":ohhh: this is really some silly bullshyt why am I watching?" and stopped :heh:. Should've been apparent during the Tebow pep rally (no exaggeration).

yup this is the exact moment for me as well when I had to think about why I was watching that show.

Why even watch? It's the same radio 101 bullshyt every day. Good cop, bad cop. One takes a ridiculous position, the other takes the opposite.

This is something I've been meaning to say for a while now but today it really has gotten to a new low.

They literally spent about 1 hour and 30 min of the show today talking about the Cowboys. The first 15min was a tribute to Stuart Scott and the rest was who's winning between Oregon vs Ohio State. Also maybe 1min given to the Bengals

:mindblown: No mention of the Ravens/Steelers. Tomlin's future?

No mention of the egg laid by the SEC. I really wanted Skip Bayless to address this because he was the biggest advocate of FOUR teams from the SEC being the final FOUR playoffs teams. Those teams being Ole Miss, Miss State, Bama, and Auburn and they all LOST. :skip: This nikka needs to fukking address this shyt. But it's the SEC and they know where their bread is buttered :stopitslime:
it's TV man... they live off ratings.. if you don't know this.. i don' t know what to say


after every show, there's a report that comes out later... stating what topics were most viewers watching.. then they add in social media to see what they are talking about

when it comes to the next meeting, they bring up topics, then some number cruncher in the back says "you know the sec coverage only rated a 20.5 versus the cowboys who rate 80.2"

then they go through the topics accordingly



it's why you have tebow mania for months... lebron mania for months... but some guy actually kills another guy, they talk about it for 5 minutes and never again (hernandez)(dude from cowboys) cause that shyt don't rate high

it's why they have celebs on all the sudden like we care about their sports analysis... it's why they got SAS and eye candy carrie

shyt jumped the shark when it stopped being 1st and 10, with real questions, real answers, and real media people up there

They got the great Larry Brown on there and they're asking him about the Cowboys. And I'm not talking about the Football Larry Brown.

Let me make sure I got this right. In 2015, after the Tim tebow coverage, the absurd double standard over lebron and how him and the heat were covered, the ray rice and domestic violence stuff, the histrionics over the lakers getting and then losing Dwight, and the Richard Sherman disaster on there, only now it has jumped the shark? That show was never on to fall off in the first place. Also yes the cowboys got everyone :umad: Right now.

People get pissed at the Cowboys coverage because their fans are annoying as fukk and they're getting props and consistent asskissing for stealing a game.

Like someone else mentioned, show stayed going downhill when they brought :comeon: on fulltime. You'd have a line of 'analyst,' guest, 'journalist' that would come in to debate :skip: wanting to check him.
