I have always had a mild dislike for him, but a few days ago that just turned to hate. It doesn't take a lot to set me off. He is a prime example of Psuedo-sportscasters who take no pride in their art.
Monday Night Football classics was on ESPN and the game they were replaying was Packers @ Saints 2008. We were 5-5 going into this game, same as the Saints. When I saw this game live I had to have it on mute because err'one was sleeping, but watching it again made me want to punch his lights out.
I expect ESPN Favre-kissing as part and parcel of the broadcast, what I dislike is the sheer unintelligence in this statement:
"Rodgers not only has to play Brees out there, he has to play Favre"
No Jackass, we are 5-5 and need good performances to get us to the playoffs. Rodgers has to play a porous Saints defence. Our defence needs to stop an on-fire Drew Brees. Brett Favre is a New York Jet. We are having difficulty stopping the run.
Why does he do it? Formulate a ficticious battle in his head and talk about it with self-serving oratory flair, without a clear grasp of what is actually happening?
I know what I am going to get listening to ESPN, but it STILL irks me something fierce.
In closing,
FUCK TONY KORNHOLER.
Zero2Cool is my captain.
