Good riddance.

I find a lot of the American sports media guys way over the top, arrogant, statistic heavy, trying to be funny and failing, annoying bores that pad all of their blabbing with drivel about what music they like, what burger joint they eat at, their dates, their wives, their kids, their holidays,  on and on.

Mike/ Mike in the morning .... can't listen to them for more than about five minutes.

How would you feel about TSN then. I'm sure its the same situation just 90% less.

American broadcasting (ESPECIALLY Sports broadcasting) is just awful. Everybody's gotta be the centre of attention. Everybody's gotta be the star of the show. American viewers need a hook...a gimmick....because apparently the sports themselves aren't entertaining enough. I have never understood Jay Onrait and Dan O'Toole, and they're the epitome of American sports broadcasting...

don't really watch much TSN Frosty, but their football show is much better than the American ones for me at least.

American public is now catching on to the ridiculous amount of hyperbole shovelled their way  these sports broadcasters.

Blowhards like Stephen A Smith and Skip Bayless just ruin it for everybody, 2 of the biggest "look at me" personalities in America.
