Just because I think that their little group is overloaded already. Too many voices trying to get in on the conversation and too little useful or interesting information getting out.

And you’ve got to think that having been a coach he’ll probably be a little better informed than a ex-player who played a position that’s only real job requirement is “run through the hole”.

Of course, if he isn’t then that goes a long way towards explaining last season. :)

Of Emmitt bouncing along to Young Jeezy as the camera cut back to the analyst desk.

Oh well, at least he didn’t scream and giggle during the games like Magic did. That was annoying. Then again, he wasn’t doing in-game commentary.

Favre strikes me as more of the Emmitt Smith style of analyst rather than the Jaworski/Steve Young type. I get the impression that he wouldn’t be all that into doing research or making insightful comments. Maybe he’d be a good color guy for the games.

That’s how unmemorable he is.

I do like Woodson a lot, though…he does a great job. Very knowledgeable and he does his homework. I wonder if it’s something to do with how famous the player was. Seems like the bigger the name they had when they played, the more likely they are to think they can coast once they get to the analyst booth. Keyshawn, Irvin, and Smith were all big stars but horrible analysts. But Jaworski and Woodson weren’t superstars as players, but are great analysts. Bradshaw was a big name, but I think he’s pretty terrible as an analyst. Len Dawson, on the other hand, shoots that theory full of holes because he’s a big name and an outstanding broadcaster and analyst.

But his butchering of the English language wasn’t nearly as bloody as Emmitt’s. And Magic was more knowledgeable about the sport…if I hadn’t known Emmitt was a pro player, I probably wouldn’t have believed the guy even watched pro football. Very close, but I think Emmitt barely edges Magic out for worst sports analyst.
