Swami Says!...

[Rampage]

I like his game highlights, especially the "He..will..eat..all...the...dots", but the way he says, "GGGGGG-MEN!" is annoying as hell.

Don't worry though, he's 28-29, so odds say that he's wrong.

BTW, for those of you that missed it, he said

Dallas 21
New York 23

the only reason he picked the giants was so he could say that again

I hate that SOB, him and Steve Young are such Cowboys haters. I understand why Young doesn't put the Cowboys in his "Fab 5" or put Romo in his "Top Performers" but why Berman?

I personally dont care who they pick. Its not like berman or 99% of these other guys watch film. IT is all based on a huntch...

NO biggy. I am just tired of the horrible pre and post game shows.

Then to top it off they kill the viewer with graphics packages, especially espn that take away from the game.

Note to networks, I dont need to see the players faces or here them say where they went to college on the opening drives....got it....I dont care......there is nothing wrong with just flashing the names on the bottom of the screen quick. Nothing drives me crazier than this stuff..

I dont need to here what elementary school deangleo hall went too.

Just give us the game, and espn really sells the game to the stupidest fans on the planet or the wife who has no idea what is going on but likes the guys in the uniforms.

CBS when they had madden and summerall would just flash the players and positions for about 2 seconds in a transparent title with the game in the back, summerall would just make note of one or two players and then get back to the game.

Now we have to watch a short film on who plays where, what college and high school they went to and then in mcnabbs case where his mommy is sitting every other play.

Just give me the game, I dont care about the post game or the graphics.

I think he's picked against them every time he's picked on the Swami BS thing this year. I hate him not because of his Cowboy hatred but because he's an annoying goof. I also hate Fox's pregame show because Terry Bradshaw is the same- an ignorant, annoying goof.

Fox producers could make Albert Einstein into an ignorant, annoying goof. They don't handle Jimmy Johnson any better, and he's hardly ignorant. And you know he knows they're feeding him dog food when he replies, "I'm just telling you what they told me to say" and he shrugs.

Off the subject but I love BrainPaint's RMOG sig.

He's wrong half the time anyway. Who cares who he picked?

Did any of you go to the HOF this year for Troy's induction? If you can't stand Berman (as I can't) then you may have come away from the HOF Presentation that Saturday thinking (like I did) that this prick was trying to be the main act for the whole weekend. And not just when the cameras for ESPN were rolling and he was on the air. He would walk up to the podium playing freaking air-guitar to tunes being played over the PA. A total arse in my opinion, a guy whose act just screamed "look at me" I am more important than these men we are here to honor today for their storied careers, unlike the joke of a career his has become.

Did I mention I can't stand him, and by the way I did not see his Swami schtick this week (nor many all year for that matter), as his act is one of the reasons I don't tune into NFL programming on ESPN anymore, other than MNF. I will however watch ESPN News for the Blitz post-game PC's, and Monday's for Coaches PC's. Otherwise I am tuned into NFL Network.

How can they even let this guy on TV.....most of the time he just makes of a joke of it and predicts some ******** score......Almost like hes on that SNL skit where the "midget bears" beat every by like 60 points.

His voice gets to me sometimes as well......he throws in this deep, whisky and cigar like voice when he starts getting short on breath and it just sounds ridiculous.


And should anyone even mention that ****ing comb over......seriously, this dude might be the Ron Jeremy of the sports world. Hes been there forever.....thats the only reason why hes on there..

He owns a piece of ESPN, that's how they "Let" him on TV. Beer man, Lee and the guy that drown in his pool(can't remember his name) were the 3 guys hat help start ESPN and they all have/had a piece of the neywork from my understanding.

Well, it's true, his act has gotten tired. However, Sportscenter in the early 80's was my baby. Who could miss that intro..lol
