The NFL draft "experts".
By the 3rd pick, they are off the rails. All they are are well paid, well dressed guys with bad haircuts (I'm looking at you, Mel…) and opinions.
And they get paid for being wrong! |

Just a bunch of bombastic, grandiose grandstanders, seeing who can crow the loudest. Pat Summerall, we miss you already. |

the Paid for being wrong list is long: Lawyers, Weathermen, Civil service clerks, DMV workers, school guidance councilors, pollsters, etc……. |

Same with 'draft experts' of any sport….and the
folx who come up with the 'McDonald's All-American'
HS athletes… |

I think an easier to compile list would be most useful talking head in sports broadcasting. |

My favorite sports reporter story: Young man in Texas dies of something like a brain hemmorage. They harvest his body of like 7 major organs. Mickey Mantle gets his liver. Later the hospital has a press conference to discuss Mantle's condition. A reporter asks the surgeon how the donor is doing. The surgeon(who I think was English) replies, "You must be a sports journalist". Priceless! |

When I was a kid our family had a HUGE satellite dish on the roof and, for a while, we were able to watch the raw feeds that various networks set up.
The Summer Olympics were that year and we watched them without any commentary at all. Pretty much how you'd see them if you were there in the stands I suppose. It was nice. We got to see a lot more than what was shown on the actual TV version without any of the inane chatter.
The only feed of a newscaster I remember was a guy endlessly adjusting his hair… then practicing his lines over and over… picking his nose…
So yeah, I think I'd watch more sports if there were no talking heads, or just very minimal to explain bits of action that aren't clear… their faces NEVER appearing on camera. |

Bob for sure, but any of the "expert" women they insist on subjecting us to are even worse. |
