Is it just me, or do Skip Bayless and Woody Paige have no business being on TV? I mean, I like PTI, and to a certain extent, Around the Horn, but come on, it's just painful to watch ol' Skip and Woody "arguing," if you can call it that, on Cold Pizza's First and Ten. It's like watching your Aunt Sally and Grandma Phyllis arguing about which vacuum cleaner is best: both make pointless arguments, reiterate what they say about 35 times, and make you want to throw yourself in front of a train (well maybe that part's a stretch, but I think you get the picture).
I mean, you can almost see what's going through Woody's head during the show. Also, Skip likes to emphasize every other word he says.
(Topic : David Beckham no longer on UK soccer team)
Skip: I think that this is a BIG! loss for the UK. Not only did they CUT! him from the team, but he's the best looking player on the team! Big, BIG! loss for the Brits. They should have kept him on the team.
Woody: (Oh God, that's what I was going to say. I have no knowledge whatsoever about soccer, and I have to make a counterpoint or else this show will be even more boring than it already is.) Woody makes scrunched up face, showing surprise and shock at Skip's opinion. Also, he has no idea what to say, so he's just buying time.
Skip: Definitely not a good move. A BAD! move for the UK, I can't see them winning a single MATCH! in next year's World Cup!
Woody: I disagree, he's a bad player. Derrr I've followed Beckham's career over the years, and he's never been a good player, in my opinion (not that it matters, considering I'm an old, washed out sportswriter who has no business being in front of a camera). How can you keep him on the team? He's never been a good player! Ever!
(Repeat for 20 or 30 agonizing minutes, or however the hell long that segment lasts)
Sorry, maybe I'm being a little harsh, but God, it's just painful to watch. Neither of them can make a decent point about anything, and if they do manage to say something that makes a little sense, they feel compelled to share it with us about 30 times over.
I hate First and Ten.
