soggybagel posted:Mike Pereira is a really nice guy. If you guys were able to see how he reacts to most of the awful/stupid tweets he receives I think you'd all laugh your asses off. Well, how does he react? Also, hiring him was a great move, and all the other networks fell over themselves to get their own rules expert, but none of them got anywhere close to what he was able to do.

He'll either shake his head and just be like "can you believe this poo poo?" As he reads the tweet. Or someone else will read it to him and he'll jokingly be like, "tell PennState187 to go gently caress off." Or everyone will just joke around about how stupid people are. He's in all interactions I've even seen just a really nice normal dude. I've seen him thank the janitors cleaning the bathrooms and things like that. Not a diva at all.

My favorite thing about Strahan is that he was motivated to become the really good player that he became because in the first iteration of Madden he was in, he was the worst rated player in the game.

I remember Tiki hosting some really awful low-budget fantasy show with his brother on FOX Sunday mornings a few years back. Dude's hurting for money. He currently does AM Sports Radio for CBS and I can't imagine he's thrilled about it. What's better is that he had a Hall-of-Fame career and will never sniff it because he was a colossal douchebag and his team found immediate success following his retirement.

I find Katie a bit easier to listen to than Simmons but that is partly because her pop history connection didn't stop in . . . whenever the Wire went off the air.

Katie Nolan is legitimately funny, charismatic, quick-witted and carries herself like a star on TV, which puts her leagues above Simmons in that category. Comparing Nolan to Simmons is pretty lazy -- she's way more compelling on camera, and at least manages to make her Boston homerism an endearing quirk, rather than a defining trait.
