When I think of NFL pregame shows, I think of a bunch of 50-year-old ex-jocks in suits incessantly giggling at each other’s stupid inside jokes, making sophomoric remarks about the token sideline princess and when it comes to actual football analysis…the only way you’ll learn anything is if you haven’t been paying attention to your team for six months.
NFL pregame shows are to dumbing down your football knowledge what the singer of ’90s one-hit wonder the New Radicals was so wearing a stupid-ass fishing hat.
They are to be slept through and missed at all costs.

If the non-stop cross-promotion of other shows on the network doesn’t get you, the incessant in-show marketing of the show’s sponsors will. The Football talking heads on Sunday morning are for people who actually don’t follow football, plain and simple.
That said- the guy who does impressions is HILARIOUS! Love him, as does the author of this post, who ranked all the football pregame shows.
