" you buried your dad three days ago, how do you feel right now?"

"If you could talk to your dad right now, what would you say?"

That was DISGUSTING! clueless, classless, rude and insulting.

Anyone watch "What's Bugging Andy?" last night? Sounded like he agreed completely, Keep.

Thankfully I had My Sirius Radio- You MUTE those idiots (so called announcers) and listen to Walters and gang while watching. I couldn't bare to listen to her and Gottfried. He was in the "tank". I have Dish Network and never lost feed, got rid of DirectTV 3 years ago for this very reason.

Couldn't agree more. I thought they were going to bonk him with the camera at the end as they zoomed in to try to count the tears.

The coverage was trash. Play by play was OK, color was HORRIBLE. I muted about half the game.

You and I agree completely, threemuch. :) I shouldn't have sounded more sober than Gottfried.

I think ESPN is really slipping when it comes to actual game coverage. The crew this weekend was bad...the cameras often lost the football.

And the MNF crew....yikes! Don't get me started!

Regardless, you can tune those guys out. Just watch the game and ignore 'em...make the best of it.

Keep in mind...you didn't watch the game Saturday for the color commentary. :)

How many times do you think they showed that picture of the Barn out in the middle of nowhere. How many of you live on a farm? Yet that is what the whole country now thinks. Like Kinnick is in the middle of a corn field and we all live out on the farm.

Did anyone hear the line in the 4th quarter after the interception? The guy says(verbatim)"Tate isn't afraid to stick his nose in there. He is good at tackling people after he throws an interception." And he referenced last years game to support it.

I thought it was funny when they gave Klinkenborg player of the game just because his father died. He only had eight tackles. Its sad but give it to someone who deserves it.

No kidding. He would've received Player of the Game even if he was scrubbing pink toilets! ESPN just wanted to lead into their whole story about his father so they could ask the questions right after the game. Desperate media, & quite frankly...a joke.
