Its time to talk about sports and sports analysis. I love sports and more specifically football. I love watching college the most but pro definitely has a place in my heart. At the beginning of the season they always have Lou Holtz give his predictions for the year and then they frequently have him on ESPN to do followups and other predictions. Now i am totally fine with having a qualified individual such as Lou Holtz to come on and give his two cents, unfortunately i can't understand a damn word that guy says. I mean in the entire world of college football we can't find someone who can swallow their saliva and make a coherent sentence, really? I respect his pedigree chart, but ESPN needs to pull their heads out and find someone who isn't so incredibly Notre Dame bias and who can actually make an educated statement. Now if you haven't heard Lou Holtz speak just imagine a sloth on speed that is trying to hold jello in his cheeks. Not only is it not understandable, but it's disgusting to watch. I'm just waiting for his fixodent to wear off and to watch those dentures come flying out. Now on to the next topic that just drives me wild. I understand that we are trying as a society to be more versatile in who we hire and who we have represent our companies. But do we really need to have women commentators on the sidelines at all of our football games that have no idea what's going on. They sit there with the best seats in the house and have someone feeding them lines, and it must be a dream come true to all of these white women (except one who works for ABC) to be around a whole bunch of big muscular black guys. Okay so i'm a little jealous, but i think that there is a simple remedy for this entire situation. I think ESPN should hire me to be the announcer for every college female volleyball game. I played a little volleyball in high school so my resume is way more versatile than any of the women commentating for football games. I think that it is only fair that i at least get a shot to announce, i mean if we are trying to fair and more gender conscious i want my chance. I now await the answer from ESPN.
