Say what you will, but were it the case that he never appeared on screen again, do you really think that anyone would miss him? Has he honestly added incremental insight to any broadcast he’s been a part of in the past ten years?

Homer or not, the guy is nothing more than a vapid body in front of a camera. In comparison, were things like Urban Analysis as empty of insight, do you think that would fly?

Seriously, all history aside, give us some credit in being able to recognize him for what he is — a hyperbole-filled windbag.

I watched a game a couple years ago where Corso paid a visit to the broadcast booth. I think Herbie was doing color. I can't remember the teams, unfortunately. He was only there for a few minutes and made the situation perfectly clear in just two or three sentences.

Something to the effect of, "They need to do this and that because of the defense the other team is playing..." It wasn't just basic "develop the run to open the pass," it was some complex high-level analysis that you never hear from Danielson or Herbie. The contrast was profound. I was shocked; maybe Corso is a lot more lucid than they make him seem on Gameday. It was a nice switch from the typical garbage.

Ah yes, here's my post at the time about Corso in the booth:
"Wouldn't have to watch a 2nd time if Lee Corso had done the color the whole game. Enlightenment took only about a minute once he arrived at the mic."

I don't wear T-shirts; however, this one is kind of cool:

Les Miles to scUM
“Tatgate” publicly naming incorrect players
Claiming inside knowledge to the Chase Young situation that was...wait for it...wrong

That’s just off the top of my head. Again, if he was just a corporate shill for the SEC (which, he is), he wouldn’t bother me much because he’s paid handsomely to play a role. But, he has been an ass to his alma mater more than once, and still claims “insider knowledge” to happenings within the program. He’s good at what he does in that he plays to the lowest common denominator of the cfb audience, also known as the common fan. Objectively, he is trash at calling a game, relying almost completely on cliche and hyperbole. He’s been awful at reporting actual news, because he has no sources and doesn’t do any homework. He’s a poster boy for the “worldwide leader’s” dying business model. Plus, he was a garbage quarterback.

People have opinions on him, you seem to be really upset by that. Perhaps you should grow up.

Lol, snowflake without an original thought. Complete homers are entertaining.
