Yeah, I just read those and he's doing his "thing" again. Negative nancy and not really knowledgeable about football. He'd do himself the biggest favor for growth of his site if he'd just shut the fuck up and let his amazing staff be the only ones that contribute.

Can you give a brief synopsis? No longer a member there because I thought it got old. No longer listen to power hour either. Too bad because I really like Jamie U

The other day he was ranting about players making money and saying he can’t understand anyone donating money to players. I asked if he felt the same way about boosters funding coaches salaries or facility upgrades. Crickets.

He is fully in old-man-yells-at-cloud territory.

They're both awful and it's a joke that NBC treats ND football as 1) a tool to hone and train immature announcers and 2) a vehicle to pump their shitty streaming service. Remember when they had that new skycam that completely hosed the views of the action? Why tf are you trying things like that out on ND football broadcasts?

ND football should be a crown jewel for NBC sports. Instead, it's a test bed for half-baked production ideas and a jr announcer elementary school.

Tirico was marvelous. That level of competency and experience should be the standard.

Because they know we’ll keep tuning in, no matter what. There is no close substitute they credibly fear the viewership choosing instead, so there is no risk on their end. They take advantage of the stable following to try new/weird things because it’s the closest thing to a true control group as you’re going to find in sports—one less variable to account for.

Him after the Syracuse game was just unbearable. Thankfully Jamie and Greg were both on to shut him up a bit

Him after pretty much every game is unbearable. He’s a fan so it’s like listening to someone on this board rant & rave. He sighs like a teenager. Love Jamie’s analysis & what Jamie & Greg do on Twitter but MF needs to stay in the background.

Their board is a dumpster fire. I think the two Tims are worth the price of admission though. It's interesting to see what Sinclair and Loy say but their content is often reworded around the internet in less than 20 minutes.

I did some self cleansing months back and don’t sub directly and therefore don’t post there. Also try to click on the links from Twitter since it gives you the “experts” tab to only read Loy, Prister etc without sifting through everything.

If you're talking about the Tims, I like their writing. I like Prister's point afters and his game previews. O'Malley's "I have __ things to say" is one of my favorite reads on weekly basis. They aren't often dropping anything that is mind-blowing from a information perspective, but the tone and quality is so much better than a lot of other places that exclusively cover ND. Definitely not necessary, but I like it.

Long story short, I think they are writers who cover (and love) ND. I get the sense that a lot of other sites have guys who want to cover football/ND, but view the writing part as a chore.
