It is a close race with Trey Wingo and Skip Bayless for me. Trey Wingo just thinks he's the funniest guy with his witty comments. Skip Bayless on the other hand thinks everything he says is godly. I think I hate Wingo more though. How bout you guys?
As much as I'd like to say Skip Bayless, he's not really an "idiot". He knows what he's talking about, but the way he goes about his work irritates me. It's like--*with pencil in hand pounding into the desk*--"I'm always right, you're always wrong, let's call it quits and crown me the winner!" But yeah, I actually agree with a lot of the stuff he says. Same goes for Mariotti. I'm sorry, but on Around the Horn, he's frequently the smartest guy there.
Mark May is a phael. Mark Schlereth is a phael. Jay Bilas is a phael. I've heard Chris Berman is a total douche in real life, but I don't mind him otherwise.
Skip Bayless, easily. There is no way in the world that he actually believes all of the stuff he says because he's so contrarian. He's got to be saying that because he thinks being "controversial" will make him famous. Not to mention the smug way he presents his arguments.
I was never a big fan of Chris Berman. It's one thing to be enthusiastic and witty about sports, but come on! The nick names got really old around 1990, and the sound effects--boof, boof, boof, boof whoop!--have always been silly.
Give explanations people, otherwise i have no clue how you can hate someone who brings you sports news :? Because they're loud and annoying? I listen to what they have to say, i don't hold their personality against them. I usually agree with Skip and Stephan A.

Come on? So it's a bad thing to try and be silly about sports? They should all be super serious and deliver the news :|..........
[QUOTE="AlexSays"]Better question would be: Which ESPN analyst/sportscaster do you actually LIKE?Renegade_Fury
Aside from ATH and PTI, I pretty much never watch ESPN anymore. I really like Kornheiser and Wilbon on PTI, but Kornheiser feels out of place on MNF. Skip Bayless probably annoyes me the most.

I like Michael Wilbon and Tony Kornheiser (when he's on PTI). Woody Paige is funny even tho he's an idiot. And I usually agree with most of what Jim Rome says.

I cant stand all of espn. ESPN IS FOR DRAMA QUEENS. I remember watching espn news or even sports center and all you get Blah blah blah and barely no highlights of any games at all. "Look the Lakers beat the Pistons, Here is a 15 second highlight reel for you guys" LAME. I know alot people dont watch soccer but you need to sit down one day and watch GOLTV, Now that is a sport channel. You gets a lot of soccer games, in the middle of commercials they show great classic highlights, and when they show you highlights of a game it last between 5 to 15 minutes depending on how much action has taken place. Its like Inside the NFL but all the time. No Drama. That is what ESPN needs to do instead getting caught up on all this BS and forgetting about he actual sport.
yeah keyshawn - just seems he adds nothing to a topic. has too many short answers
skip bayless - stupid and is an annoying bandwagoner
steven a smith - doesnt need to yell to get his point across
paige/mariotti - couple of dopes that try to use comedy to get people to listen

I think they need to get rid of all these analyst and replace them with people that actually call the game, like that guys on the radio. If I had to pick the worst, then I would go with DOUG COLLINS, he just needs to shut up and find a new job doing something else.
Well back when it was called cold pizza him & skip bayless were debating on topics......
One of the topics was of Alfonso Soriano and he said........."Let's talk about something else instead...." and he went on to talk about a white player.

You skipped over the part where I said, "It's one thing to be enthusiastic and witty about sports." I think Berman has far too high an opinion of his "clever" nicknames. I think the shtick is something that your local wacky sports guy would do to goose ratings

How is skip a bandwagoner? He picked the Rays, he hates the Cowboys :? Also if it weren't for Paige and his antics i probably wouldn't even watch ATH...............
John Kruk-He's the biggest Phillies Fan Alive
Skip Bayless-Ignorant
Woody Paige-I've always seen him as a Racist.
SonicBalla
Examples please? I think Kruk even picked the Dodgers in the NLCS :| Skip is just about right all the time and how is Woody racist?..................

I'm sure it had nothing to do with race. Analysts say stuff like that alot.

well skip - for a guy born in oklahoma, worked in miami, dallas and chicago - is ALWAYS butt kissing to the boston red sox, just anytime they discuss most about the american league.
paige is just there half the time to be a joke - a mister magoo. so bored of him and mariotti- both have overstayed their welcome
