Someone worth watching.

Hopefully they don't match him with some brain-dead gossip columnist hack who treats Sundays like the latest episode of the Kardashians. Be inspired, be analytical, be unique, be genuine, treat it with respect and you will be the best there ever was. Not some blathering talking head repeating nonsense or former player getting fat and collecting a check. There are a lot of those.

Don't lose your head, Steve! Keep it real like you always have.

Actually, that's exactly what I hope they will do, because SSr would call them out

This is true. Put him on some cupcake show like Good Morning Football and when the male co-hosts roll up with their sweaters and plaid straining against their beer guts, then try to talk to Steve about football or create drama, Steve would give them this treatment...

I know... and I hope.

Don't want to see him become like so many others. No passion, homework, or charisma - collect your paycheck and get fat. MJD, Ike Taylor, McGinest, Bruschi, are all embarassments

Guys like Irvin, Sanders, Cris Carter aren't much for analysis but get by on charisma

Guys like Heath Evans, Trent Dilfer, Tim Hasselbeck can analyze but have as much personality as your pet fish. Evans also has his fetish for all things Patriots and Saints which is pathetic.

Steve can be the best of all of it... if he does it right. Ray Lewis flamed out as a TV guy.

I hardly watch any of the NFL shows on NFL network or ESPN; with Smith Smith Sr on the show, I might watch couple takes to feel him out.  If Steve can bring the fires, feisty, and energy that he had on the football field and convert them onto the NFL show, it will be most excited NFL show to watch for long time.  

 

Steve don't BS, he will keep it real.....

[Steve0x]

I hope he criticizes Refs when they screw the Ravens. What can Mr Goodell do about it?

Yea, i agree.  Honestly, I cant even stand Ray anymore, he is just way to preachy for me.  I really like Chris Carter for the reason you mentioned and i really like when Eric Mangini breaks things down. 

What sports radio do you listen to, if any?  I listen to Clay Travis and Coin Cowherd.

He's actually a really good analyst, plus he told max kellerman to shut up and stephen A smith to use his inside voice

My point lol

[Willbacker]

He did a good job doing weds morning on the Sirius satellite NFL channel during the last offseason. He's got the personality and the gift of gab to do a good job.
