i understand you barbaric creatures don't value women's opinions on sports in any case, but cari sucks on this show. her forced laughs at whoever is speaking, lack of contribution to the conversation, being a point of flirtation [sorry, but on sports shows, i need to see a woman who can hang with the boys and fit in (they don't need to be butch or dikey), not seem like homie's girlfriend who invited herself over to watch the sunday game with the boys], and ill-placed abrupt interruptions to move Skip to the next topic all make for zero-chemistry.


How many debates have you seen when the moderator has opinions or a significant contribution?!? She's does what she suppose to do, Keep the guess involved and keep those long winded Host in check.



She gotsa prutty smile too....:troll:

jay and dana had better chemistry and added to the conversation without overstepping their role, plus, with the all-debate all-the-time format, first take can stand to have a moderator that contributes

The sad thing about Jay is I thought he wack as hell till he was gone. I used to shyt on him till I saw how awkward it could get without him :to:

Still, I'm glad Cari got hired :shaq:

Why they ask the same questions during the same show? Then they asked a third time w/ it reworded.smh
this is why i think the show needs to go back to the original format with SC updates, athlete interviews, more input from Jay/Dana/Reischa, and the First and 10 segments. this show knows how to :deadhorse: a topic, shyt was unbearable last season with 3-5 tebow segments a show, they did it this year with sanchez

honestly, i only watched the old show for the "1st & 10" segments.

and even then, i preferred to watch the "1st & 10" show later on, instead of waiting for the segments. thats when this show was at its best.

if theyre not gonna broaden their topics, then they need to condense this to 1 hour or at least 90 minutes. but they most likely wont do that, as long as theyre getting good ratings.
