| FTBL Who are your least favorite college football pundits?

[Davestwin]

Hearing Tim Brando blasting everything SEC yesterday reminded me how much I dislike him. Brando, Cowherd and Kanell are my three most disliked on air college football personalities. Though, thankfully I don’t see Kanell on air any longer. Now I realize Brando and Cowturd are TV and radio personalities who cover all sports but it’s their commentary on college football that I detest. I literally can’t watch or listen to any of those three more than a few seconds before changing channels or muting the TV. Who makes your top three list?

Collin Cowherd. Talk about an egotistical up-your-own-ass type of guy. If I was a police officer I'd write him speeding tickets for going 2 over.

Gary Danielson

G. Danielson
Beth Mowins-that voice

 

[bama alum]

After this past season's game with Texas, Joel Klatt entered the building and took part of the spotlight off Danielson. **** him.

[Bama Guy]

Collin Cowterd, Finebaum, Scarbinsky, and Joseph Goodman. Guess I don't like too many.

In some shape or form, each one has a tendency to rub everyone the wrong way. It’s either their connection to a certain network ( Fox guys and their Pac 12/ Big 10 connections) or their schitck, like Brando.

Don’t like any of them, but I think Gary gets shit on too much.

My least favorite are all the ESPN people, GameDay is decent

 

[SnakeDoc]

Anyone not named Eli Gold or Chris Stewart.

I don't dislike any of the talking heads. I don't like any of them either. If we combined all 16 or so weeks of last season I may, MAY, have listened to an hour.

My problem, with all of them, is the lack of preparation. Whether that's falling on their producers ... ?

However ...

When you're a member of a site like this one you're far more informed about what's going on with the teams than your everyday talking head. It's my opinion when we judge people like these folks we're doing it through a specific lens. And, I'd argue, it's unfair the majority of the time because, well, you know more about the team than they do.

Even Kirk Herbstreit can get a little annoying.

 

[24and7]

Sometimes when you listen to Eli..he can make a 2 yard gain sound like a 20 yard gain…. But lookin forward to his return..

 

[Davestwin]

Collin Cowterd, Finebaum, Scarbinsky, and Joseph Goodman. Guess I don't like too many.

Goodman would make the top of my list if he were a national TV/radio pundit. He takes the top spot for sports “journalists” though!

I should have been more clear. I’m not judging them by their on air talent. I’m judging them through the lens of likability and the beliefs they hold. Preparedness doesn’t factor into either one of those views. Am I biased? Of course, I’m biased … the three I listed all detest Bama and I take offense to that each time they spew their hate.
