Lampley is guest hosting the rome show right now. heard him school some guy on boxing vs. UFC. dude is awesome, he's a suped up version of palilo imo. who do you think is best. I actually like bayless more.
I pretty much never listen to Rome but Skip Bayless?!? Come on, that guy is so full of it and just spews garbage for the sake of riling people up. Wasn't he the one who jumped over the wrong Eddie Johnson about the abuse charges without even bothering to read the damn article that said what years and teams the guy played on? Skip Bayless is everything sports commentary and journalism shouldn't be about. He is just an overly-sensational clown with no sense to even attempt to stay within the confines of reality or even bother to get the facts right. He makes some of the rookies on GARM look like intellectuals and experts on basketball.
i voted for Lampley, but i think Jay Mohr is the best guest-host. in fact, i'd much prefer him to Rome...
I have noticed that whenever Lampley hosts the show that he feels the need to have a boxing vs. UFC debate. I assume it is because he feels so threatened by the popularity that the UFC is getting and how it will eventually become more popular than boxing. The only problem is that he is horribly misinformed about MMA which makes him sound dumb about the subject.
Yeah, but he's entertaining. I'm probably being hypocritical because I often criticize sports journalism in general. but bayless is like a guilty pleasure. he's so over the top, that I love listening. but he's also got his own opinion, and aside from the fact he jumped on the wrong eddie, he's usually pretty informed.
fienstein seems like the smartest. I like his background and depth on certain subjects. Rome still sucks though.
