Fox Sports 1 - Deliver us from evil - Page 7 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

Canadian guys seemed legit funny and like they will really catch on.

Charissa Thompson is smoking and has talent but the side panel idea seems pretty bad especially when guys are talking about things not their sport. I'd heard Roddick on the radio a few months back and think he's got the potential to be good but I think McNabb and GP are really poor choices.

edit: the use of odds was a big plus and I do like them throwing up a lot of stats on the screen but it also seemed like it was a bit too busy.

Andy Roddick, Gary Payton, and McNabb sitting around shooting the **** about baseball, football, basketball etc seems like more of a radio show than a network that is going to rival ESPN. Limited budget or something?

Andy Roddick has potential. Paraphrasing, but I thought it was hilarious when they showed Karl Malone's "selfie" and he just straight out says, "wow he has big boobs" awkward McNabb pause and mumbling. Roddick follows up "just look at those things."

Roddick is a connoisseur of big boobs.

roddick probably only took the job because of charissa and EA. if he slays one of them (or both) while cramming brooklyn decker he will die one of the great american heroes. statues will need to be erected in his honor.

The Fantastic Finishes show is pretty cool, it basically shows the exciting last few moments from various games or events.

Yea Roddick does not give any ****s, he will say whatever he thinks and is on his mind. For those that don't really follow tennis Roddick was and is always a great interview. He can come across kind of a dick at times but the guy has a solid sense of humor. Let him grow and he'll flourish in this kind of atmosphere.

First thing I thought of while watching them and really liked that show.

Only criticism is that they seemed a beat slow in their delivery. Either opening day nerves or me unfairly comparing them to fictional characters with a script.

Andy Roddick makes sense for TV because he talks clearly and has a quick wit that works in a conversational format.

Donovan McNabb and Gary Payton have none of those things.

Comcast/Xfinity appear clueless, re:Fox Sports 1

I don't care either... as long as I haz my Adult Swim and Toonami.

However, some1 let us know if Fox discovers Australia's or Europe's equivalent of Skip Bayless. Hell, even a Latino version of Mike & Mike LOL...

LOL ESPN was showing Collegiate FISHING!!! Yes, FISHING, but not just any fishing, a collegiate fishing tourney! LOL WTF?

As for FS1, the UFC stuff is good so far, the rest, well, it's still wait and see for me.

I heard the Canadian gov't might be trying to pass a law that would designate Jay and Dan as national treasures which would restrict them to working in Canadian broadcasting. Just a rumor that's floating around, no idea if it's true or not.
