Is anyone else REALLY sick of the NFL commentary/"talking heads"? NFL Countdown is the worst

[abc]

MNF sucks, Sportscenter can be bad, but these dudes are the worst.

The middle three are dumb meatheads who only reminisce on their "good old playing days" contributing 0 insight. I used to like Boomer until I saw multiple YouTube vids detailing his jerk personality. TJ is ok.

Gruden really was bad tonight on MNF... he's the typical guy who would call Favre "just a good old southern boy out there having fun" 

 and HOW IN THE WORLD is Matt Millen at the game commenting with Steve Young and Stu Scott? Millen shouldn't be allowed around football anymore, he tried to ruin it in Detroit and did a good job.

Sportscenter is hit or miss. Most of the anchor types like Trey Wingo or Van Pelt are pretty cool, but I hate when they bring on "experts" like Tedy Bruschi. I remember one time they were talking about Peyton Manning and Bruschi said "when I was playing, we used to circle the Colts game on our calendar because we knew Manning was going to be prepared and clicking" %@%?? That contributes nothing.

Deion on NFL Network is hard to watch, too. They played a music video of him yesterday with some song called Primetime by Ice Cube... just a Deion worship segment. Thank god they have Rich Eisen to balance things out.

I swear the NFL media is obsessed with bringing old d-bag athletes on the show for star power. Trent Dilfer is the only one that I like.

NFL studio shows take themselves way too seriously.

NBA gets it right. It's the only league that truly recognizes itself as entertainment, and the studio shows reflect that.

It's for casual fans,   should they talk about Split Right 787 check swing, check V's success against Tampa 2 Defensive schemes?
Oh and Dilfer is a huge d-bag.

I don't mind NFL countdown, what I can't stand is the broadcasts on NBC for monday nights, Chris Collinsworth is the worst. And yeh Gruden is starting to get on my nerves too, thank god John Madden left cuz he always stated the obvious. The crew at Fox sucks too, Terry Bradshaw, Curt Menefee, Jimmy Johnson, etc.....only person who I can watch is Strahan.....Sunday night football's cast sucks too, Rodney Harrison is the biggest hater, Tony Dunge, etc...

Harrison and Dungy are awful and Gruden is ridiculously obnoxious. Collinsworth is one of the few analysts I like to listen to which is why in my opinion SNF > MNF.

NBA and NFL broadcasting has been bent over and raped the past 5 years. They've sacrificed integrity so you can watch old, washed up ex-players talk that were barely even competent in interviews during their playing days. I used to appreciate it when pregame broadcasting crews would go in-depth about a matchup and talk intellectually. Now it seems like they're never serious enough to do that. I feel dumber after watching most of these guys talk and it really drains some of the excitement out of you. This happened to me ESPECIALLY in the NBA Finals. Magic Johnson, Stuart Scott, Jon Barry and Mike Wilbon was THE WORST CREW OF ALL TIME. Then to put the cherry on top they had Van Gundy and Mark Jackson for in-game. Terrible...

I'm a fan of the NFL Network crew. Every one of those former players know what they're talking about and Eisen brings that balance.
