Does anyone else read Paul Shirley's ESPN blog and think he's hilarious?

Shirley obviously thinks he is hilarious. Well, he's funny because he does tell the truth though...

I think he's just awesome. I was watching quite frankly with Steve something. He had LT "L. Tomlinson" on his show. Lt had reggie come work out with him for a week a year ago. Reggie said he couldn't believe how much LT did in his workout. Reggie said he puked 3 times. But everytime he came back and kept on going. So after that his coaches said they could see his determination after that workout with Tomlinson.\n\nThis guy has it all, plus he's dangerous for defenders. How do you defend this guy? You don't you just try to contain him, but he can run, catch and score TD's like know one's business. Texas would be a fool to pass him up.

I wondered if I was the only one who thought he was racist. In an interview with members of the Texas Western team that beat my Wildcats, he kept trying to push them into talking about how they felt about the race aspect, even though they kept telling him it was just about basketball for them. There are still race issues in several areas of American life, but not as many as Stephen A. seems to see.\n\nI hate to admit that his over-the-top style is humorous at times, but give me Bill Walton or Charles Barkley any day.

I do like Rick Reilly and have read many of his pieces on the last pages of SI. I see recently he's doing some work for cnnsi.com online, some video stuff. I think what we like about him is that he writes well, uses a little humor/wit and typically has an interesting subject matter.

YES YES YES!  He is exceptional at what he does ... just not man enough to take blame when the team is not doing so well, I agree.  I think it is rather funny to watch him "cry" when things aren't going their best.  And his sissy little brother is the same way!!

I know some arent big fans of his but I like "Jim Darwin" he's quite clever with his posts and when he makes a joke it's usually actually funny and not just degrading. Nice fella when you chat with him too.

My husband is insanely obsessed with Sportscenter! It is so annoying! It is his version of the nightly news and the morning news, and the mid day news... I can't stand it! I cringe everytime I hear "This is SportCenter."

I couldn't agree with you more.  I *dread* watching games on ESPN because of the commentary.  Frankly, I would be hard pressed to pick the *worst* of the bunch!  I've never heard more idiotic comments from sportscasters than this group.  It's hard to believe Theismann actually played the game with some of the comments that come from his pie hole.  \n\nThe current anchors display a smugness that any neighborhood wiseass could match. To match the show’s overdone audiovisual effects, the sportscasters pound fists and shout stale phrases in an apparent effort to show that they’re more important than the topics they cover. Apparently, ESPN producers support the show’s idiocy.\n\nWe treat it as comedy relief around my house when they start talking, and just try to enjoy the game in spite of it.\n\nRock on, Dude ...

I view him as my form of sitcom because I can't take anything he says seriously!  Some makes sense, a bit anyways, and is probable but when he goes on the more outlandish he gets. By the time he gets to the reptilian people I am holding my sides with tears running down my face from laughing so hard.  Honestly, I think he's in it just to make money.

I have subscribed to SI for the past 5 years now, and I have never thought of myself as weird.  My boyfriend loves the fact that I have knowledge about sports, and from watching the NBA playoffs with me the past couple weeks, he has learned a lot that he didnt know before about the rules and calls that refs make.  I think it is completely normal, and gives you a leg up from the rest if you are single... all guys I have come in contact with have loved the fact that I know as much or more than they do about sports and can actually converse with them about things.
