Landon Donovan has always been embarrassingly bad on TV.

I know ESPN started getting talent coaches or something for their former athletes. I hope FOX gets one for Landon too, because, yeah, he's been pretty awful.

Strong is pretty solid, and Lalas isn't bad when he isn't disappearing up his own rear end.

Just when I thought nothing could be worse than Taylor Twellman, they bring in Alexi Lalas to call games. gently caress.

If they could have brought Ballack in to join Lalas it would be great. They cannot stand each other.

I think Landon's going to be fine. In the past, I feel he was trying to pull a Marshawn Lynch and didn't want to talk to the media. The guy is pretty sharp and quick with wit when he doesn't have to censor his answers about things. I have a feeling he's going to be burning fools left and right once he gets comfortable.

Never thought I'd see a Landon Donovan to Marshawn Lynch comparison.

Anti-social star players who hate dealing with the press? With every reporter just waiting for one of them to say something negative to fire off that 5 page hit-piece they've had saved to their hard drive for the past couple years?

Cool, I think I'm going to rock my season 2 kit with the BMO logo mostly peeled off. Say hi, but if you ask me about stairs I'm gonna tell Dempsey you touched me in the bathroom.

Lalas is cool with me, but maybe that's because the portland broadcast team is really really bad

I don't mind Lalas really. Donovan, though, we've heard before, and he is a gently caress-awful commentator.

Am I misremembering, or is the the one we heard the other day explicitly calling for simulation as a tactic?
