What is your Favorite Sports Show?

[Burkex]

Which Sports Show do you enjoy watching the most? Sportscenter? PTI? The Best Damn Sports Show? Cold Pizza? Baseball Tonight? Around the Horn? The local news sports? Rome is Burning? etc? And why?


Personally I got sick of Sportscenter, they just report the same stuff every hour and now the announcers try WAY too hard to be funny. It was good when they had Stewert Scott, Chris Berman, and Dan Patrick. I just find it easier to go to ESPN.com for all the scores and highlights, plus that way I can see what i want and not have to see crap stuff that I am not interested in like hockey, nascar, and horse racing.

I would say my current favorite show is Around the Horn. They talk about all the relevent sports news and give 4 different views on it. Plus it is always very funny, especially Woodie Page, that guy cracks me up. I tivo it every day and watch it right when I get home from work.

During the NFL season I also never miss NFL PRIME TIME! With Chris Berman. Chris Berman should do ALL Espn highlights imo, that guy is classic, with sayings like "He could go all the Wayyy", and his sound effects when running backs bowl over guys, and of course his witty name sayings like: "TY I fought the LAW and the law won."


So what sports shows do you guys love to watch?

[Blumpster]

I like PTI.

[sticktastic]

Yeah im a big fan of PTI as well. I still dig sportscenter tho. I like jim rome is burning not because the show is really that good, but just because im a long long time clone. ive been listening to his radio show for years. I do like best damn sports show tho on occasion.

[Sunder]

PTI. Wilbon is the man. When he's not on, it's not half the show it normally is.

Worst Sports show on tv: 1st and 10. Skip Bayless is a fucking tool.

[Grimmlokk]

Stuart Scott should have his face kicked in by a steroid addled donkey.

I loved Berman when I was like 15. The older I get the more I can't fucking stand him and his 30 year old references. OMG AN EAGLES JOKE....AGAIN! SO AWESOME!

Feh. Of the ones you listed I still like PTI more than any others. Tony and Wilbon have actual genuine chemistry. They actually like eachother and have been friends for a long time. It's really noticable when they're ribbing eachother, it doesn't come across as lame forced banter like on ATH. They genuinely know eachother, and aren't just random sportswriters put out there because they're willing to make stupid proclimations and yell on TV. And they don't take themselves too seriously like Jim Rome.

I tend to watch a lot of Mike and Mike in the morning. Not because it's so great or anything, though it is genuinely funny sometimes, but just because it's not Sportscenter over and over which is my other option.

Speaking of Sportscenter, I can't fucking stand it anymore. Fucking scroll bars and upcoming story shit takes up half the screen.

Best Damn Sports Show is utter shit and has been pretty much from it's inception. It's like if the Sports Reporters were all tied to their chairs and forced to pretend they like eachother and they're in some frat, and also were all retarded and painfully unfunny.

Can't stand Jim Rome. 50 year old white dude trying to act like a 20 year old white dude trying to act like a 17 year old black kid. His opinions are stupid and calculated for maximum shock value.

Only thing more annoying was Stephen A. Smith's horrible horrible horrible show. Which was only horrible because it featured Stephen A. Smith who is the worst thing to ever happen to ESPN. I'm surprised they haven't tried to emulate PTI by pairing him up with Skip Bayless. Accounting probably wouldn't let them because of the class action lawsuit they'd face from thousands of viewers who had no choice but to go all Elvis on their TV screen when the show came on.

NFL Live is a good one usually=) Prime Time is still good stuff too.

[cdyhybrid]

Definitely Mike and Mike and PTI. I don't mind Sportscenter though, it's nice if you're only watching one go-around or if you need something on in the background.

[Akileese]

NFL Live isn't bad, but I can't stand Schlereth who constantly rips people for morals, then tells his stories about how he cheated and manipulated the referees to get him calls. He's just a fucking idiot.

I prefer Mike and the Mad Dog. Unless you have YES you probably don't get it though. With them you get two guys who have amazing chemistry, genuinely like each other, and are realists. As much as I like Tony and Wilbon, much like Jim Rome, they tend to get too caught up in the moment and go with the trend. When the Mavs entered the playoffs, they just went with the trend and said they would sweep the Warriors simply because they were better on paper. It would be better if they gave them an hour though.

The only show I really despise besides SportsCenter is fucking Around the Horn. The only guy on that show I even like is Bob Ryan and that's only because I always read his editorials.

[Twobit Whore]

I guess I like them all. First Take/Cold Pizza is great, and I really liked the 1st and 10 portion when it was Woody vs. Skip, but ever since Woody stopped doing it the quality has dropped a little. It's still good. I like Around the Horn, mainly because Woody is on it.. I like Jim Rome is Burning when I am in the mood for a little more serious stuff. Mike and Mike is pretty good, but Greeny gets on my nerves sometimes.

Oh and big thumbs up for Stump the Schwab!

Yeah Greeny does get on my nerves, Im not a big fan of some self appointed arrogant, non sports background pussy on my sports radio. He is a perfect example that you do not have to have any sports history to do sports radio, he is just a real smart guy who did communications degree in college. Im sure he likes sports but his sissy attitude is to much most the time, scripted or not.


But yeah Schwab is a fucking machine, that guy scares me with what he knows.

[kcxiv]

PTI. Bad Cop, Good Cop makes me laugh everytime.

I also enjoy NFL total Access.

There's something wrong in your head. Skip Bayless is the second worst talking sports head out there after Stephen A. His opinions are actually stupider and more annoying than Stephen A's, but he gets a pass because he doesn't have quite as douchebaggy a delivery. 1st And 10 could be Skip debating a nude Jessica Alba and I still wouldn't be able to watch it he's that horrible. His opinion on 95% of things is "it's bad". He is a fucking moron.

[Pharazon]

Around the Horn. The guys will manufacture their arguments to take a different side, but its entertaining and you know they'll cover all main points of any issue. PTI is good too. They're pretty much the same show when you look at all the topics they cover, I just happen to find Around the Horn to be a bit better, more variety.

Sportscenter is still the place to go when I want to see highlights. They just have way too much coverage now of stupid assholes and their run ins with the law, other non-sport issues.

[Laven]

I watch pretty much everything that ESPN shows, however my 2 favorite are Sportscenter and Baseball Tonight

[Grimmlokk]

The biggest problem I have with ATH is timeslot. They come on right before PTI and cover the exact same stories. And I'd rather hear Tony and Wilbon's opinions than theirs. And I don't want to hear the exact same stories back to back. So I avoid it sometimes.

[kcxiv]

around the horn is ok, but i cannot stand Woody Page. Jay Mariotti also can get on my nerves as well.
