    Who's watching the finale of Dream Job on Sunday?

    At first I didnt like the show, but then it grew on me.

    I'm voting for Zach to win.

    I will be, I have a feeling Zach would win, but Aaron has a good chance.

    If Maggie wins I'll never watch ESPN again.

    Ditto!

    I think Aaron is the best play here, but Zach has a lot of upside. If Maggie OR Mike make it into the second hour of the show into the final 2 I will be very surprised.

    Maggie and Mike really irritate me because they dont look like they are taking this as serious as they should.

    I think when it is all said and done Aaron is the guy I think should win.

    i'm pulling for zach...that's what ESPN needs, somebody different. i think the rest of ESPN's anchors are all cookie cut outs of Dan Patrick.

    Maybe that's just me. Stuart Scott irates me the most, just show the damn highlights and tell us who won. At first I thought it was entertaining, but now its old.

    Nashvegas took the words right out of my mouth... "cookiecutter"

    That's why I've been pulling for Zachariah this whole time (even though I came in with intense disdain for the guy, b/c I agreed with Jaffe and Kornheiser in the fact that by not cutting his hair, he didn't seem to take the process as seriously as the others, or appear to want it as bad)

    But I was wrong. Zachariah is talented. However, "Sportscenter" has an image to uphold, and I believe that Aaron is the spitting image OF that image (a friend helped me come to that realization)

    Nevertheless, I'm still rooting for Zachriah...

    As for Maggie, its so obvious ESPN wants a woman in the finale... plain sickening.

    Casey and Nick both deserved to be in the finals more than her. Even Kelly did.

    I agree with the Sports Guy. Great concept, terrible execution... terrible show.

    As much as I don't want to admit it, it IS painfully obvious about Maggie. I want to cheer for her just because she's a chick, but in the last few episodes, even though she has improved since the beginning, I just dont think she was supposed to be there.

    Zach all the way! At first I liked him solely for the fact that he had long shaggy hair and a beard. Once he cut it, he then actually impressed me with the fact that he does bring something new to the sports center image. That, and the man does have what it takes and he deserves to be there, IMO.

    Zach is a younger version of Keith Olbermann... when he left ESPN, their quality of Sportscenter went downhill FAST (especially since Stuart Scott was his replacement...)

    Is it just me, or does Stuart Scott have a glass eye? My cousin pointed it to me a few weeks back and noticed also. His right eye just stands there and never moves.

    he does have something wrong with his eye. i think he's always had problems, but a few years back he got hit in the eye with a football doing a piece on training camp...., he almost lost that eye.

    I think he did lose that eye. A few people that I know with a glass eye have that same lazy motionless look to them. Stuart did get some glasses to try and cover it up, but I think that they draw more attention to it now than before.

    I honestly think its just "lazy eye," exacerbated by the incident in the NFL camp.

    If it were a glass eye, you'd think they'd be able to implant one that looked "normal" with the pupil centered, etc. The fact that the pupil is never centered leads me to believe its more of a lazy eye than a glass one.

    It is not a glass eye.

    Zach is going to win, it's pretty apparent. The guy has a look that stands out, charisma, and quick wit. IMO, he's clearly the best choice. Any of the other contestants would just blow.

    Dude... Aaron would NOT blow. He works for FOX Sports as an intern and seems as prepared as anyone else for this job. I think he'd make a fantastic "level 3 head" as TK would say.

    Aaron does blow. Al even said said he wasn't cutting it. Seriously, do you think Aaron is better than Zach?

    Maggie...:rolleyes: How can anybody with a lisp get a job in broadcasting?

    She is only around to fulfill the woman requirement, as is also the only reason why Kit Hoover is on the show as well.

    No Lavar on tonight's show... so we will be spared from the comments of, "You never said what team Kobe Bryant was playing for... you need to tell me that."

    Maggie looks like Krusty the Clown with that makeup.

    I wasn't impressed with Zach, sadly.

    I really don't like this category (total recall... doing pbp of a memorable play from a historic game).

    This looks like something that should have been one of the earlier categories... and last week's category should have been the final round one.

    Of course, ESPN knows more about how to train a sportscaster than I do.
