Adam Sheffter's ESPN Debut
My heart is crying.
LaCanfora isnt bad, but, its just not the same...I hope the money is worth getting yelled at by Boom and having to listen to all those jack offs argue over which one of them is the biggest homer.
I am happy he didnt ruin every 1st round pick this past year though. God that was annoying...Its called suspence, Adam. sheesh.

The networks get a tip like 30 seconds before the pick so they can get their video and stuff ready but Schefter was calling every pick without that. They were just his predictions and he was crazy accurate.

He was good to watch. He seems to be a lot better than anyone else ESPN has, other than John Clayton.
That being said, ESPN has really been ******* up over the last few years.

I dislike LaCanfora, he just has a douchiness to him, he seems like a big nerd who thinks he is the **** because he has a job at NFL network. He seems like he was at one point a likable nerd, now he is a douchy nerd. Plus he seems like a cheap knock off of Schefter.

Gruden going off about the wildcat was comical. Schefter on ESPN. Who's next? Seacrest?

What was all that bullcrap & nonsense about "Got your cell turned off?" ESPN & Boomer's bombast is unprofessional even when mocking.
Sheffter is joining the team that features Mike Ditka, one of the most toxic personalities on the airwaves. How many more decades is he going to ride the 85 Bears SB success? He may be the single dumbest broadcaster in sports, & that's saying something.
The game coverage from the booth was sadder & even more amateurish, feeding Gruden lines & him serving up his bad sports cliches, nicknames & humor -- never thought I would miss Kornheiser, but he was better.... settle in for a season of very bad Chuckie jokes on MNF, but everyone knows Gruden isn't Chuckie, he's such a caricature he's the living incarnation of Popeye the Sailor Man.

This is true. I have Cablevision and it doesn't look like we'll ever get NFL Network. ESPN has a monopoly on NFL coverage in my area.

Hopefully ESPN will have online vids of all his segments like NFL.com did, because I'll probably miss it otherwise. I don't want to have to watch ESPN other than NFL and college football games.

I'm glad Scheffter is on ESPN now because I couldn't stand Mort at all. No idea why, but the guy bugged the **** out of me.
Problem is, I can't stand LaCanfora either, so I still have to deal with someone annoying on a daily basis.

I think it's a lot of the ESPN personalities that bother me personally...it's like they all think they are gods gift to broadcasting and are the hands-down best at what they do.
I always got a chuckle when PFT would post something, then a few days later Mort or Jaws or someone from ESPN would "break" the story, lol.

I only watch it for MNF.
And I love Gruden. Tirrico is cool. And I HATE Jaworski. How many times do I have to listen to a chipmunk tell me "its a quarterback driven league"?
