Evidently we have Jerry Springer enlightened Network Executives.Wouldn't you put someone in there that can tell or explain something to average fan that he may not have known.Or at least be creative and entertaining.GD is none of that,had I known the bar was so low I would have given it a shot myself
To a degree, we did this to ourselves.
We pay attention to things that anger us. Most broadcasts are deeply mundane, but we just have an ear for what pisses us off. Typhonic picked out the OSU snub by Cowherd, even through he knows Cowherd is a pointless clown.
As shoot, that post up higher, that was GRAPHIC. Just right out there. And for what? A dude who calls one game a week, probably not one you watch on a regular basis, but just his aura causes us to say all sorts of over the top things. We're not good at saying what we like, but we are good at feeling strongly about what we don't.
(That said, I'm of two minds about the TV execs. On one, they replaced the coach's film room, the best part of the megacast, with the MNF crew. That was bad, though not as bad as I expected, as Whitten was oddly solid and Booger had some moments. Granted, still bad. They did have the all-22/sky cam/high sky cam options, which I found to be good on all fronts)
