I have to admit, I liked Irvin as well. He seemed really genuine to me and was entertaining as hell. I've read he's a pretty solid guy, too (notwithstanding any personal drug choices, obviously).
Emmit Smith, on the oher hand...I almost feel sorry for him. Some of his verbal slips have been absolutely hilarious..I'll try to dig them up here.

I honestly thought Irvin was OK even with his over the top shenanigans and crack problems.
IMO tom jackson complements berman well.
but yeh cant stand stuart scott, when he stops trying to act street and just be a journalists, he might be passable.Leave a comment:

I think Berman is funny. I don't think ESPN should allow Berman to do play-by-play as he often does for baseball games. That's where he's annoying for me. I think he's great in the studio. He is entertainingly genuine IMHO, meaning he is funny and entertains but it's not about "him". The highlights are the story and I think he still conveys that.
Stuart Scott on the other hand is an atrocity and ESPN should be embarrassed that they let him on the air. Then again, no one watches the two hour pre-game for Monday Night Football anyway, and if you do, you deserve to punished by having to sit through that moron's rumblings. Steve Young must want to poke his eyes out having to be sandwiched between Scott and Emmitt Smith.
I honestly think I would quit if I were Steve Young.Leave a comment:

Berman's one of the last greats IMO. He does ham it up a bit, but at least he's not rapping the highlights. Maybe because I grew up on him...from Ricky Running Waters to Eric Sleeping with Bienemy, & my favorite Bermanism....

Chris Berman
Holy **** - I can't take it any more. Chris Berman has got to be the most annoying sportscaster on TV! I simply can't watch ESPN when he's on...
Come to think of it, between him and Stuart Scott, it's a tie and I want to puke.
These guys make 'it' more about them than the sport, player, or story they are covering. Stop the damn grandstanding and just report on the topic you bastards!
Ok, feel better - got that off my chest.
