    Collinsworth is the only one I’ve listened to very much since he does football, he’s okay.
    The rest are all just talking piles of trash who make a living trying to stir up controversy. I do know Portnoy talked about killing an athlete who cost him money gambling but that’s the only reason I’ve heard of him. Whitlock used to write for the Kansas City paper. Don’t like him.
    Give me Greg Amsinger on mlb network. A rare likable sports host.

    I’ve listened to Stephen Smith a little and he probably has the biggest ego since Howard Cosell.
    The best sports announcer who ever lived started broadcasting Royals baseball with their first game in 1969 and still does their games today. You’ve never heard of him because he doesn’t talk about himself, just the game. And he’s in the national baseball hall of fame.

    Portnoy for sure - Barstool is a cesspool and he’s a loudmouth.

    McAfee also - I’m sure at one point it was about sports but now the ego has kicked in and it’s all about the self-promotion. Taking his shirt off on college game day and standing up on the swivel chair? Gimme a break.

    I agree with them on everything. Even when they disagree, I agree. It's an interesting question galaxy as to which one of those hackneyed buffoons produces the most entertaining content. The only one that doesn't belong in that group is Collinsworth as he's not debate-entertainment. He's just what happens to a man when they keep their socks on during sex.

    Stephen A. boy oh boy is he terrible. and i think he makes somewhere around $12MM/year?

    also not a big fan of Perk. he just seems dim and low IQ. never says anything of any consequence.

    George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.

    Interesting. The only guy I really like on that list is Collinsworth. McAfee can be entertaining, especially on College GameDay but I cannot say I make a point to listen to any of them. If forced to choose, I'd take away Portnoy & Wright.

    Enjoy your collection!
