Spot on. These shows aren't about the intelligence behind the analysis, they're about the attention the talking heads can generate. If Irvin pisses people off they will watch just to hate...like people who have no rooting interest in the baseball playoffs, but tune in to hate the Yankees.SharkHawk":23c0bqhw said:Here's the thing.... every one of you is talking about him. Nobody is talking about what Steve Young said. So why do the networks keep guys like Steve around? Because he's smart and can actually give logical pre and post game analysis. Why do they keep people like Irvin around? Because it's funny and people are discussing it, so he obviously is doing his job. They want viewers. They don't care who they are. They just need to prove to the beer companies that they are pulling the numbers they promised when selling them ad time.
