[Guiness]

Apparently, he's sorry if he hurt their feelings

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers says he regrets airing his complaints about ESPN's Monday Night Football broadcast team in a recent radio interview.

Speaking with ESPN Milwaukee 540 AM this week, Rodgers sharply criticized former Monday night broadcaster Tony Kornheiser, saying he did "absolutely no research" and doubts that he knows "anything about sports." He also threw a barb at current analyst Ron Jaworski, calling the ex-QB's past opinions of Rodgers' fundamentals perhaps the worst segment "in the history of TV."

Rodgers now says the radio was an "inappropriate" outlet for his thoughts and that he didn't mean to disrespect anybody -- although he didn't necessarily back away from the substance of his criticisms.

ESPN officials declined comment through a spokesman.

I doubt he's very sorry....

he isn't afraid to point out when the officials suck.

OK, but apart from that and sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, public health and peace what have the Romans ever done for us?

Are you the Judean People's Front?

F-off! (Thanks Sharp) We're the People's Front of Judea!

If there's a People's Front then can there also be a Goat's Front?

I learned to really respect what he said. Maybe I'm boring, because I'd rather someone be right than entertaining.

I don't find him right about much. I find him repeating conventional wisdom.

You ever listen to his radio show?

Yep, all the time until Van Pelt took it over. I think he is well plugged into sports and knowledgeable (as in up to date). But he is a generalist who does not seem to have a special insight into football. Unlike Van Pelt, who is very plugged into college f-ball and b-ball or Costas who is very plugged into baseball, I thought Tirico was a great news gatherer. So for me, who spends the beginning and end of the week reading every sport site imaginable, he repeats a lot of known information to me.

Now he is very good at what he does. So say for breaking news, he is the perfect guy. But in most cases I am listening to a guy repeat the top wire stories of ESPN's web page when he was on the radio. He is smoother and more professional than Van Pelt. He is far more concise than the wordy Van Pelt. But I don't hear much depth.
