The Verdict is In

After watching the debut of the new "The Final Verdict" segment on ESPN's College Football Final, I think we can all agree on the verdict. It sucks. If you missed it, consider yourself lucky. Basically, it's Rece Davis dressed in a stupid costume, while Mark May and Lou Holtz do a horrifically poor job of arguing for opposing positions on an issue in college football. Last night it was excessive celebration. Somehow, I managed to think both sides were wrong.

Assuming this isn't some horrible joke ESPN is playing on all of us, it seems their long term goal is to make this show really blow. From the stupid Lou Holtz pep-talks to this horrible travesty, it's going downhill fast.

  1. Why do ESPN and FOX feel the need to come up with gimmickry to make sports "more interesting"?

  2. I have no idea. I was just flipping around when I caught this garbage, and it was hard to believe anyone could have seen a rehearsal of this and thought it was anything but a horrible idea.

  4. I disagree. While campy I still can't help but be amused. I'm not sure why you feel sports programming always should always be bland and unoriginal.
