    Listen, Chester seems like a great guy, someone I'd want as a friend. But on Channel 2 as a sportscaster, he's worse than a high school newscaster.

    How long until KPRC execs give him the ax? He'd probably do much better on radio.

    Yeah I've noticed he's pretty bad. He does fine when he's just having a discussion and its not rehearsed though. They've gone through a few this year, haven't they?

    Agree. He should just stick to Sports Sunday as a contributor.

    Channel 2 thinks they can create the next "Giff Nielsen"

    Racist thread is racist. I see some people can't stand to see a black man thrive in America.

    The irony is strong, when you consider how CP got started in football.

    Can you explain further? I have no idea how Chester Pitts got started. Ephraim Salaam asked him if he wanted to try out?

    Yeah, from what I understand he didn't even play high school ball. He just saw Salaam was ballin' and said he wanted some of that too, so he just walked on in college and made it.

    The link is misleading, is there any actual footage of CP?

    is it Spencer Tillman who's known for his extensive vocabulary yet his only metaphor for running backs is "smoke through a key hole?"

    And he finishes every sentence with "on the backside" whether it applies or not. Very odd.

    Give me a break. The racists are the ones who see race in everything.

    CP was good at football but success and talent are two totally different things. See Paris Hilton and Kim K.

    I wish CP well and hope he improves. I'm just shocked that someone hasn't pulled him aside to tell him to tone down the facial and hand gestures.

    Calm down bro, humour.

    Agree with the OP. I've been meaning to start a thread on Chester.

    Terrible as a Sportscaster. As a contributor he is solid-kinda like the various NFL exes on ESPN.

    I was thinking how great Chester would be on radio. I think he is wasting his time on tv, on radio he would make a great sports radio host.
