GFB Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Why is Lou Holtz on ESPN again? That's one of the most blatant homer picks I have ever heard...And just throwing this out there, but who is the biggest homer on ESPN/National TV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFoA Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Welp, good to see Lou Holtz is going to be bringing more of the same crazy talk he brought in 2008. Which is great. Aside from him claiming that Notre Dame was a Top 25 team throughout the entire season last year, it was hilarious whenever that man went on a sometimes-profanity laced rant. Just great, I love Lou Holtz on TV, but not for his analysis. When Emmitt Smith was on TV, he was easily the biggest homer on ESPN. Anything that he said would always somehow end up coming back to the Dallas Cowboys in some way, shape, or form. Same with Michael Irvin when he worked with ESPN. It's weird that even though he does 5 or 6 Cowboys games a year, Troy Aikman manages to stay neutral when it comes to them, compared to the other 2 of the big 3 who couldn't seem to be quiet about the Cowboys.

rainmaker17 Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Lou Holtz is a clown and he knows it. He thinks he's this funny celebrity type and overdoes every bit of his on-air time. To me he comes across as this weird grandpa-type, flailing and spitting on himself. Not a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cujo Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Not that Granny Clampett has a vote, but it's crap like this that reminds me why 1) NCAA preseason polls are an absolute joke. 2) Voting should NEVER determine the National Champion.

But yes, Lou Holtz spends his air-time rambling on and on about things he thinks he knows but doesn't. There's no need for him on ESPN, except for the comedy. On the subject of homers, he's not on TV but on radio - Ron Santo. listen to a Cubs game and it won't take long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigga Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 No one on television would even crack the top 25 of homereroticism that we see on these boards. Not even close. Maybe they'd start the season in the others receiving votes category, but that would even be a stretch. On January 16, 2013 at 3:49 PM, NJTank said: Btw this is old hat for Notre Dame.
