IMO, Rich Eisen sucks. | Page 3 | 49ers Webzone Forum

Really all they have to do is get rid of Deion who always makes everything about him, and you'd have a great crew.

This.

As wacked out as Michael Irvin is, he actually makes a lot more sense than 99% of people out there. Remember when Crabtree signed and everyone was talking about how he'd have no impact? He was the only guy out there who said he'd step right in and produce...and that's exactly what Crabs did.

Irvin is a crackhead, no doubt...but he actually has some decent insight. He doesn't come across like an idiot on TV like Emmitt Smith or Marcellus Wiley (Wiley is a lot better on radio though).

Yeah, I have to admit Irvin has entertainment value and does make some good points (don't always agree with them, but he does know how to speak to his audience). Jamie Dukes, on the other hand, is a complete waste of airtime. Eisen is good too IMO, never been annoyed with his contributions on the NFL Network.

Entertainment value? All dude does is talk about the cowboys and the U. Maybe it's just me, but I don't need entertainment value, I want good analysis and sorry he has none.

He is what I call a useful idiot. He is there for a large portion of the viewership. The NFL uneducated, and the kids. He is there to ask the stupid question. He is there to reign in the analysis to make sure it does not get too intelligent for mass consumption. To provide a quick recap in laymans terms.

And I happen to like him and think he is good at what he does.

You gotta credit him for one of the most awesome nicknames for Frank Gore. "The Inconvenient Truth"

I want to punch Deion at times and Dukes sux bawls. Rich is okay in my book though. He doesn't need to be a total football guy, just an entertaining host.
