Broaduss vs. Mickey

[CalPolyTechnique]

Surprised no one else posted about it but did anyone else catch Broaduss and Mickey arguing on Talkin Cowboys yesterday (9/26 episode)?

Hilarious.

As much grief as Broaduss gets around here I enjoy him going after Mickey's typical stupidity.

Listening to it now after finishing yesterdays Break. When does it start?

EDIT: Nevermind, just got to it, haha. It's like Micky doesn't like to mention star player struggling. His default is to defend them

 

[robjay04]

They always go after each other.

Mickey is such a stubborn old man.

“I don’t need to watch the tape, I watched the game!”

Mickey thinks he’s a football genius and should never be questioned. Broaddus is similar but at least admits when he was wrong

 

[TheCount]

I loved it, especially when the rest of the team started teasing him about getting so upset.

I also love that fans keep calling into the show and thanking everyone but Mickey, or asking questions specifically for Broaddus, you can tell it really burns Mickey's chaps.

When Broaddus asked Mickey if he thought Zeke lost a step, Mickey donned his tap dancing shoes and performed his regular routine.

I'm paraphrasing, but I remember it going like this:

Broaddus: "Then answer the question, Mickey. Do you feel like Zeke wasn't as quick as he has been?"
Spagnola: "I just did! I said there were no holes for him to run through!"
Broaddus: "That's not was I asked."
Spagnola: "Well I guess I don't understand the question!"

That, and Mickey is a huge team apologist. Whatever angle is pro-team, coach, or player, that's the side of the argument he chooses.

Mickey never understands the question and he hates having an opinion until after the fact.

Mickey is a piece of work that drives me bonkers, always reminds me of this guy:

That is the job description of being a corporate lap dog.

He is...

I seem to remember him hating Quincy Carter though.

I still have the classic Broaddus vs Mickey showdown saved to my computer and I'll never delete it. It was the Monday following the Kyle Orton loss against the Eagles that ended another 8-8 season and it was the 1st 20 mins of straight Mickey vs Broaddus with no one interrupting them. It was hilarious. Broaddus was going at Garrett and wanted him to get fired and Mickey was protecting him saying Romo was hurt and the injuries is what's keeping this team from making the playoffs. It was great.

He hated Marion Barber too, primarily because he wouldn't talk to the media.

It is bad when Broaddus is generally pro team but he has to go against super homer mickey and mickey will always defend the team with a few rare exceptions like QC and MBIII

However in a quick reversal...it is funny when a player gets cut or a coach gets fired...Mickey will do such a violent 180 degree turn on said player or coach that you can almost hear the whiplash as it happens.

From so firmly defending a coach or player to the next article or video segment telling us silly fans that they HAD to get rid of said player or coach and anyone should be able to see it.

 

[Fletch]

Broaduss and Spags = Smarter by not listening.

I’ll come to my own conclusions.

 

[WillieBeamen]

Lol just listened to it on the way in to work.

I gotta agree with Mickey on this one though. The OL isnt performing as good as it did last year these past two games.

Absolutely to your second paragraph.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

They should write on Mickey's epitaph "Well if he's so good then why was he cut?"

Got no love for Mickey, but I think every Zeke yard came after contact.
