Shannon Sharpe in the ESPN booth

[Guiness]

Wow, was he bad. A guy I was watching with was a casual fan, and even he remarked how he was just pointing out obvious stuff, repeating himself, and not really offering much 'colour'.

But what pissed me off the most though was how he didn't acknowledge Brett when the play-by-play guy led into it. They were talking about Manning-Harrison being the most prolific QB-WR combination in history, and the play-by-play guy said 'of course, you had the opportunity to play a few years with a pretty good one yourself' and SS ignored it and talked about something else. I remember noticing him doing it again later in the game when the other guy gave him a lead in, but I don't recall the details.

I missed that... did you mean Sterling?

I was having too much fun listening to the Bear fans go berzerk on Chicago radio.

He meant Shannon and what He was alluding to was John Elway, not Brett.

I had a hard time understanding him because he was talking really, really fast at times.

Guiness...you do know that Shannon Sharpe played for Denver right?

As for the announcers forthe Super Bowl, I think they did a fabulous job! I don't remember hearing them talk at all during the game, and that is what I call great announcing.

I remember the commentary during each of the challenged plays, but that is about it. Nice to know they had announcers calling the game should anyone have wanted to listen to them.

Brothers and jerks at that, not hard to get them mixed up. :P

[Guiness]

!!!DOH!!!

Ok, so I didn't know who was announcing. I never watch ESPN, and don't know their crew. I thought it was Sterling in the booth, but my subcounsious must've made me type Shannon!

Either way, he sucked, big time. And it's just as ridiculous that he didn't give props to Elway.

the problem with shannon is that he has a mouth full of marbles when he talks. it trips over his own tongue. the only reason he has the job he does is because he played in the NFL. same thing for Irving. any other anchor who gets caught "holding" Cocaine for his "buddy" would be canned on the spot. ask marv albert!!

Just once I want to hear Shannon say:


"The rain in Spain falls mainly in the plain"

He's a cross between Michael Irvin and Cindy Brady.

[cpk1994]

Guiness, you are aware that you were watching Shannon on CBS, not ESPN, don't you?

Lol..........

[BooHoo]

I do not care for Shannon announcing either. Yes, he has a mouth full of marbles when he talks and doesn't say anything of value. He should be released this off season.
