Which Ex-Player Talking Head is the Biggest Phony

Recommended Posts

I was listening to Sean Salisbury this morning and here are a few words coming out of his pie-hole. (paraphrasing)

  • 'The Falcons played not to lose in the Super Bowl.'  (this might be the least insightful comment I have heard on that game)
    • Well, McNabb was on ESPN Radio after the game saying Brady should retire... OK, 2nd worst comment on the game

 

  • Here was the big one though. He was talking about Deshaun Watson and how he could be a February QB.
    • "Some guys are December QB, some guys are January QBs, and some guys are February QBs."
    • "I was a January QB"
      • Dude won 6 games in his entire career. He did in fact start a playoff game. 
      • His rating was 11 in that playoff game. 6 for 20 for 113 yards 0 TDs and 2 picks.
        • For perspective, Connor Cook had a 30 rating in his road playoff game as his first career start.
      • This clown was bragging on having started a playoff game.
      • He scored 7 points with Chris Carter, Anthony Carter, Terry Allen on a 1200 yard 15 TD season, and Roger Craig as the backup RB
      • The game was in Minnesota

He was a 22 rated regular season QB and an 11 rated playoff QB.

 

Anyone else have some nominees for biggest loser talking head bragging about his minimal talents?

  • I love the NFL Network graphic the lists David Carr as a Super Bowl winning QB whenever he is on the air.

Chris Collinsworth is the opposite of this. Man spends 50% of the game telling us how there is no way he could do what he is seeing.

He gets hit hard (fairly) for rooting for a narrative at times but yes, he is pretty humble about his football talent for a guy who was a 3x pro bowl player who played in a pair of Super Bowls.

Salisbury is such a joke - he's big over here on local radio in Houston, and 80% of his show is him pimping out his QB camps for HS kids. It's just a boatload of crap he's selling.

Carr and Maurice Jones Drew are so clueless about football, it's amazing they actually get paid for their nonsense.

He's 10x better than Josh Innes, but still pretty bad. I flip between him and Texans radio depending on how full of crap he is at the moment vs how whiny or sex/fart jokey the 610 guys are.

Greg Jennings genuinely comes across as ignorant. 

McNabb is pretty bad too.

They are both idiots, but not really phony. (MJD fits this as well)

  • Jennings had 1568 yards and 14 TDs over 19 games for a Super Bowl winner in 2010 and he made a couple pro bowls in his carer.
  • I blame McNabb for Philly not winning a Super Bowl but he made 6 pro bowls and threw for 37k yards and 234 TDs.
  • MJD only says stupid things when his lips are moving, but he was a very good pro RB

Brady Quinn is another good example of a complete fake.

  • He viciously hot-take attacked Wentz in late September 2017 about how he would not win many more games
  • Wentz won more games in the following October(5) then Quinn did in his entire NFL career(4).
    • Down goes the phony!

I mean what he said was dumb, but I don't see how that makes him phony.  I don't think just because you were a bad player in the NFL means you can't criticize someone that may be better than you, otherwise every fan that slights a player is a phony too.

Innes is an absolute clown show, so glad he got fired. 

I traditionally like 610 in the morning, Mike Meltzer knows his stuff and Seth Payne is good when he reigns in his rage (Paul Gallant was not a good fit, glad he's gone - I like him, just not with Seth/Mike).

I was REALLY hoping Adam Clanton was going to join Rich Lord and Sean Pendergast, but he's back on 790 - this being said, I'd like it if Clint Stoerner got a FT role for the drive back home...

One thing I hate about 610 is how full homer they go on the Texans. Any time I hear Marc Vandemeer, Drew Dougherty or Deephi Sidhu, I have to shut off the radio (John Harris is a homer, but he actually understands football...)
