Least Favorite ESPN analyst

[jdoggivjc]

Somehow managed to forget Skip Bayless as well, I had forgotten about him because I have refused to watch Cold Pizza or whatever that show is called now for a few years, completely because of him.

I haven't willingly watched Cold Pizza/First Take ever since they did away with Thea Andrews...

I believe this is a loaded question, since most if not all of these people are amongst the most annoying people on the planet, but I digress.

I'm watching the US Open and I just can't help my disdain for Chris Berman, and he's being somewhat tame.

Any others that jump out?

Can you tell me why people dislike Berman? To me he's harmless - he's like a bubba. I see him as a guy just trying to have a little fun along the way. I don't see him ripping guys.

I understand that he supposedly breaks all the "rules" announcers are supposed to abide by. But to me that is part of the appeal. Just an ordinary guy like us who likes sports.

Now Stuart Scott on the other hand is a different story in my opinion . . . .

Bayless: I don't mind him, but he's easy to dislike. I feel bad for his co-panelists, because he talks over the top of them all the time.

I would put Skip Bayless just behind Gregg "I'm an a$$hole and proud of it" Doyle for my least favorite sports journalists/analysts/personalities whatever you want to call them.

If those two ever got into a fistfight I would cheer for whatever result got the most blood spilled out of both of them combined.

Yeah I used to be real annoyed by Skip Bayless too, but then I realized he's just playing a character for ESPN. He's taking the contrarian view point 90% of the time to get people worked up. Everybody knows he's a joke at this point, and he also qualifies all his upset picks. He'll say "even though the Lakers should win, I'm picking the Suns". That way when he's wrong he can claim he was still right.

Even if it is just a character, it's still unbearable. But nonetheless, I'd still take him over Bob Ryan any day. Just the look on that smug bastards face annoys me.
