Around the Horn debated whether Duke is beatable. Woody Paige said "they struggled against Marquette's team" as his reason that they are beatable. Didn't make it sound like Duke had a good win in his opinion against MU.
Glad the national media saw and remember that game at least. Maybe when we put together a nice run people will still remember that we played Duke tough and they shouldn't be surprised.
It seems to me, on ESPN's Power Rankings that MSU is rewarded for losing to the big mighty #1 team in the country where as MU gets shafted.
The next relevent and insightful thing Woody Paige says will be the first.

I'm no ND fan, but a drunk Dana Jacobsen yelling unnatural carnal knowledge Jesus at the Mike and Mike roast while carrying a bottle of vodka is pretty classless.

well, we played on a neutral court and they played at Cameron. huge difference.
Woody cracks me up alot. I like him even more when Jay Mariotti wasnt assaulting people and still on the show arguing with woody.
You nailed it on the head with bob ryan, thats forsure. I also hate that bimbo Jackie McMullan. Watch anytime shes on around the horn whipped tony reali literally makes her a winner 95% of the time and nothing she says is ever anything insightful and beyond the obvious.
But I like the Herd! He's good radio. Probably bad tv.
Who I hate the most: Skip Bayless. He almost always takes the 0.001% chance it side in an argument. And it never works...
Disagree on Cowlishaw.....very well respected and connected in the NFL world....
Bayless is by far the worst person on that station.

I liked him more when he first got to ESPN because he had a different viewpoint than most of their network talking heads, but lately I have noticed that he talks up the "party line" more and more.
Seems like a complete douche too...

I'm not 100% here, but I would have to think that a loss to Duke on a neutral court will be better than a win at home against PVA&M when it comes to RPI at the end of the year. If so, than I would hardly call it "shafted."
I'm surprised Doug Gottlieb hasn't come up yet. I though we had some threads last year dedicated to how big of a twat he is...

I like Rome. At least he does things differently and outside the cookie cutter mold. If you listen to his show with the expectation that it's about 20% sports and 80% entertainment, it's pretty funny.
Replace him with Merril Hoge and you have a deal.

What I actually find the most comical about this thread is how many of you actually even WATCH Around the Horn or Jim Rome. Two worst sports shows anywhere on television ever.

That certainly ranks up there as well but not as painfully malignant as Around the Horn. Who came up with the idea for that show? Why in the love of God is it still on? It amazes me whenever I flip stations and run into it that they have ANY viewership.

Based on Tony Reali's involvement, I'd have to presume the same guys who thought up PTI.

Fixed.
... I miss Max Kellerman. And I guess Michael Holley by association, since I watched I, Max.
ATH was the lead in for PTI -I liked that show- Rome was always awful but my college roommates liked it.

If only 20th Century would put the effort and money into FSN that it does into Fox News. -Not to get political or anything but there is such a stark contrast in the quality of programing, and content on those two networks.
All this talk about Dana jacobsen and we forgot to put first take/ cold pizza on the list of crappiest sports shows ever. Her and the male anchor botch interviews, segments, can't read teleprompters, and have contributors on that show who can't put sentences together. Not only is it horrible, but they run it back to back, taking up 4 hours of time

well, we played on a neutral court and they played at Cameron. huge difference.
Agreed that a road performance always trumps a neutral but coming into the season, and perhaps still, most experts had MSU as the second best team in the country right behind Duke.
That said, it probably equals out having the #2 team play #1 tough on the road and a middle of the pack, unranked team play #1 tough on a neutral court.
ummm.... LOU HOLTZ!!!!!!!
he is easily #1 on the power rankings of idiots on ESPN
+1
Holtz is terrible. I chalk it up to the fact he seems like he is stroking out on air.

About 2/3 of Romes TV show is from the Jungle, so do they both suck?
Dan Lebatard is the worst person on ESPN. He isn't funny. He isn't smart. I hate that ESPN thought they needed a Miami voice so frequently after James signed with the Heat. Wilbon was so much smarter than he was when Lebatard filled in for Cornheiser on PTI. Not good TV.
