Ed Cunningham on ESPN

[I am I]

Why does this guy even call football games? Does he like the sport? Is a paid shill by the liberal lawyers who wear panties on the weekend?

He just made a 10 minute speech about how football is too physical these days, how they should NEVER add another playoff game because there's too much football already, there's too many injuries because players have gotten too fast too big..etc whine etc whine.

 

This same pu&&y calls Nebraska games and literally whinces when there is a big crushing hit and made it seem as though there were some malicious intent on behalf of a football player making a tackle. Man, he is a puss. It makes me mad he even has that job.

Do you mean ED Cunningham?

If you've read a single report about the impact concussions have on the brain and what it does to an individual long term, you'd be singing a different tune.

 

No offense, but adding the word 'liberal lawyers' (like they have anything to do with it?) and calling him a pu&&y makes you look pretty ignorant about the topic. You clearly don't understand the topic and come off looking not so great.

There are risks in everything we do, you either accept them or walk the other way.

I was more upset with him saying McCaffrey didn't deserve the heisman...he is an idiot though!

You missed the point. Your argument is essentially that football is too violent and damaging to the brain, and that it perhaps needs to be re-examined as a sport. It's a conversation worth having, but the OPs point is that it doesn't make sense for a guy who feels that way to be calling a football game. It would be rather like having Sunday services led by a "pastor" who does nothing more than rant about the evils of organized religion.

 

If Ed Cunningham thinks football is a brutal sport and too violent and dangerous, he shouldn't be calling games on TV. If you can't understand that, it's you who doesn't look "so great."

Indeed, why is he calling any football games. Wasn't he a basketball player?

[Savage Husker]

Just because Cunningham expresses an opinion and justifies it in the name of "safety" doesn't make his opinion valid. Glad I'm not watching whatever game is on to listen to his bullsh#t, instead of a calling the game as a commentator, he turns the booth into a pulpit to politicize his agenda. He's a moron.

His 'opinion' is most certainly valid. Concussions, and, probably more surprising, repeated impacts over years of playing football that may never lead to a concussion, unequivocally lead to long term damage to the brain. This is an established fact.

 

Should a guy who only wants to be talking about brain damage and how football causes it be calling games? No. But his 'opinion' is right.

[krc1995]

Can't stand him but he has a point. Maybe they should take one game from the non conference schedule?

[Husker no ka oi]

That would leave 2 NC games. Not happening. If anything take away a conference game.

[Savage Husker]

He's gripe is about extending the playoffs to 8 teams, meaning 1 more game for 4 teams. Let's temper this "it's about health" agenda. If he thinks football is THAT bad to add ONE more game, then there is much greater problems in health/safety for football.

My point was by using 'liberal lawyers' and calling him a pu&&y was immature.

 

Like there's some agenda attacking football from the left. OP looks ignorant when using those terms.

[RADAR]

Soccer is much more dangerous than football, has he railed about that yet?

so nice to have a touch of political correctness here........
