FOX...not so "foxy"




Well, now that the rediculously long bowl season that is "less interfering with academics than a playoff" is finally over, we can now comment about aspects of it. Many avenues can be taken, i want to discuss FOX. Remeber 15 years ago when this wasn't even considered a network? If they didn't have about everything, they had to and monopolize the BCS. Fox has no business covering these games, they were horrendous. It was an absolute disgrace to even Lou Holtz when Fox had Tim Brown helping covering the Sugar bowl. At halftime of that game he said, and i quote "I think Notre Dame is dominating this game." And how bad was Barry Alavarez covering the championship game? It's comical to think about his comments about the validity of Michigan at the begging of the broadcast. Someone tell me how it is justified to have a CURRENT big ten AD covering that game?? Fox not only blew it with who they had, but the annoying outstretch of the games. Just put them all on January 1 and then the championship game 2 days later, who cares about an orange bowl between Wake Forest and Louisville on Jan 2?? Thankfully, we have had the last laugh on their poor job. With that, here is Sweetemotion's recent review of rest of media...


Love you and will weep day you go off the air: Bob Costas, Joe Buck, Chris Berman, Todd Blackledge, Conan O'Brian, Gameday Crew, Al Micheals and John Madden, Brian Williams (NBC news anchor), Anderson Cooper, Bill O'reily, Matt Lauer (due to his interigation of Tom Cruise...classic), Scott Van Pelt, Dan Patrick, Brad Nesslar and Bob Griese, Dick Vitale, Phil Simms, Troy Aikman, Ron Franklin (how did he get booted from ESPN's primetime game after 15 years??), Tony Kornheiser and Mike Wilbon

You are a disgrace and make me throw a shoe at the TV: Lou Holtz, John Saunders, Stuart Scott, NBC Notre Dame broadcasting crew, Both the Gumbel boys...especially Bryant doing the NFL, Shannon Sharpe, Desmond Howard, Brent Mustberger, spencer Tillman, Katie Couric (doing news anchor at CBS...Katie on 'today show' was fine), Rosie O'donnel and rest of cows on "the View", Dan Rather, Tim McCarver, Billy Packer, Doug Flutie,....and the absolute worst of them all---SKIP BAYLESS!!!!


please, add to these lists--they are brief. Also in other news, another 'anti-hero' has emerged for sweetemotion. If there were not enough reasons all ready to dislike Jason Kidd, we now have the crowning reason to. Jason Kidd recently filed for divorce citing spousal abuse, he claimed his wife continually incidents of her kicking, hitting, and punching him. If someone finds any footage of this on YOUTUBE, please post it!!

My favorite basketball announcer is Bill Raftery! Here are a few of my favorites:

"Drops the dime with the KISS!"

"Send it in big fellow!"

"UCLA drops into the MAN-TO-MAN!"

Here's some others:
Guys that should be fired: Jim Rome, Johnny Miller, Bill Walton, Dick Vitale, Reggie Miller on TNT NBA telecasts, and Barry Melrose for his mullet and b/c he cares about hockey.

Guys that should get a raise: Verne Lundquist, Keith Jackson, Jon Miller/Joe Morgan, Mike Breen, Marv Albert, Keith Olberman, and Colin Cowherd.

i would like to note that survivor elisabeth is a cohost on the view and should not be lumped in with the "cows" plus she is a very able "scene opponent" though my team won going away and also she hugged me. (she initiated it, and it was a face to face hug....and she wished me luck on my hebrew exam)
