Dr Lou out at ESPN
- Thread starter WMack4Bama
- Start date
With all of the sports networks owned by ESPN, I would say that he is pretty safe. He is a lot more polished than most of their "analysts".
+1. Could not stand him. I would literally change the channel when the spittle started heading toward the cameras.
My favorite Lou memory was when he predicted ND to go 8-0 and they went 0-8. You could not be more incorrect than that.
Adios.
May is a great analyst and always seems to be rational. However, it wouldn't surprise me that with Rece and Lou leaving they don't decide to just start with a whole clean slate.
Needless to say, I'll be watching. I always record the GameDay Final and then watch it first thing Sunday morning.
This pleases me. I understand that ESPN is sports entertainment, but I never found him enlightening or entertaining.
That sums it up for me too. Vitale is in the same category. His speech issues were no big deal to me. I just didn't see where he added anything to the broadcast. His personality is what is annoying.
I thought Lou was o.k..
As far as Verne and Gary, I consider them to be a great team.
I also think Verne is one of the greatest announcers in sports history.

right there with you
it's not the homerism
its not the schtick
it's not even the May/Holtz crap
its the fact that he has a serious and awful speech impediment. like nails on a chalkboard to me and its only been getting worse and worse over the years. I went to a corporate gig a few years ago where he was hired to present as a motivational speaker. All I can think every time I see him is "how in the world do people keep paying to hear this guy talk?". I actually never once listened to a "Dr Lou" segment as it was always muted on my end
This was long overdue
Gary and Verne don't bother me at all. They have great chemistry.
I've said for a while that Verne is absolutely his best in the perch at #16 at Augusta.
You hit the nail squarely on its head! He is OLD. Just how OLD is he? Is this age discrimination?
Chris Schenkel and Keith Jackson are in my Hall of Fame with Keith at the very top. I also like Al Michaels. Verne is pretty good also.
Dr. Lou is in my Hall of Shame!
Vitale is just plain annoying. He should be charged with violating someone's personal space recently with that kiss on the lips of the UK lady.
