Also from their twitter last week -

Not great questions. Dan was more interested in the weight thing and talking about snacks. Maybe he was ready for lunch himself. George handled it well as you'd expect.

I heard the last few minutes live. Georges was great, all they asked him about was food and snacks. That show is not good.

These guys are terrible, like the morning radio show in Sheldon, Iowa bad. Yet they get a pay check from ESPN that would make most of us angry.

Georges did great.

The two hosts seemed like ********.

 

[Bewilderme]

Georges is a good sport, and gladly called them out on their douchery. He's not bouncy, but he's a fantastic athlete in his own way.

That show is horrible. ESPN talk radio is only saved by Russillo - the rest is garbage.

Some of you take LeBatard way too seriously

Like how your fanbase takes Cowherd seriously?

he likes Iowa state.

I just think his act is stupid. I'd rather Georges be interviewed about basketball.

 

[Gerbs]

LeBatard is schitck radio. Rarely do you get anything insightful out of it and they love to play on the hate. It's painful to listen to at times though.

 

[thatguy]

its the best show on ESPN. Its sports radio for those of us who don't like sports radio. They kind of make fun of football guy, which is probably what most people that like sports radio are. I just think most people don't get it.

The problem isn't the joke behind the show. The problem is he's not funny, clever or interesting. It's awful. ESPN has one good show left on the radio. Mike and Mike isn't bad but they talk about 3 different things all year. I know I'm in the minority but Gottlieb and Cowherd were at least thought provoking at times.

 

[Farnsworth]

Count me in as one who likes the show, although I only ever hear it when I take an early lunch and see it on tv.

You just gotta understand it's a schtick and not take it seriously at all. He's had much worse questions for some very serious coaches interviews.

 

[Clark]

Like how your fanbase takes Cowherd seriously?

well they're both trolls, but the difference is Cowherd takes himself seriously and Dan doesn't. If you listened to that interview expecting a basketball breakdown, "you don't get this show"

Like most of the ESPN shows. Burn that network to the ground and take their ****** ESPN Zone with them. ESPN Zone....tourists

 

[247cy]

Well, they stopped short of asking Georges how big his dumps are now. Twinkies. Fart joke.

 

[Diggame]

Man yall are a sensitive bunch. I thought the interview was cool and should a different aspect of georges. Interviews that just talk Xs and Os can get boring as hell

 

[LindenCy]

Not a fan of the show, but I do feel like a Swiss Cake Roll.

At this point in his career, what else is there for him to respond to? Fred? Prohm? Defense? Team coming together? I'm all for asking questions that he hasn't answered 50 times already and let his personality shine.
